Safety Precautions
Safety Precautions
Read these instructions carefully before you install, operate, or transport the
system.
Install the system or DIN rail associated with, at a sturdy location
Install the power socket outlet near the system where it is easily accessible
Secure each system module(s) using its retaining screws
Place power cords and other connection cables away from foot traffic. Do
notplace items over power cords and make sure they do not rest against data
cables
Shutdown, disconnect all cables from the system and ground yourself before
touching internal modules
Ensure that the correct power range is being used before powering the device
Should a module fail, arrange for a replacement as soon as possible
tominimize down-time
If the system is not going to be used for a long time, disconnect it from mains
(power socket) to avoid transient over-voltage

Service and Maintenance/ ESD Precautions
Service and Maintenance
ONLY qualified personnel should service the system
Shutdown the system, disconnect the power cord and all other connections
before servicing the system
When replacing/ installing additional components (expansion card, memory
module, etc.), insert them as gently as possible while assuring proper
connector engagement
ESD Precautions
Handle add-on module, motherboard by their retention screws or the module’s
frame/ heat sink. Avoid touching the PCB circuit board or add-on module
connector pins
Use a grounded wrist strap and an anti-static work pad to discharge static
electricity when installing or maintaining the system
Avoid dust, debris, carpets, plastic, vinyl and styrofoam in your work area.

1 Introduction
Nuvo-8111 series is a cost-effective box-PC with 3 expansion slots designed
specifically to support an advanced mid to high-end 200W NVIDIA® graphics card,
such as an RTX 3060/ 3060 Ti, to offer stunning edge AI performance. Offering
tremendous GPU power up to 20 TFLOPS in FP32 for emerging GPU-accelerated
applications, they boost the performance and efficiency of factory automation, image
recognition, product inspection, pick and place robots, etc.
Nuvo-8111 series leverages an Intel® 9th/ 8th-Gen Core™ processor with H310
chipset. It has one x16 Gen3 PCIe slot for accommodating a GPU card, and an
additional x4 PCIe and a PCI slot for industrial I/O cards such as DIO, AIO,
communication or motion control card. It features front-accessible I/Os including two
GbE, four USB 3.1 Gen1 and five COM ports for easy access when it is rack-mounted
or placed inside a cabinet. Storage-wise, the system supports two 2.5” SATA SSDs/
HDDs plus one mSATA socket to house an mSATA SSD.
As edge AI demand continues to grow for traditional production and factory automation,
Neousys Nuvo-8111 seeks to fulfill this need. With mid to high-end GPU support,
expansion capability, compact and rugged design that play important roles in bringing
artificial intelligence to the edge and factory floors, the Nuvo-8111 is no doubt the most
cost-effective AI platform for automation in its class!
