Guide on Nuvo-6108GC Installation

Nuvo-6018GC is world's first industrial-grade GPU computer supporting high-end graphics cards. It's designed to fuel emerging GPU-accelerated applications, such as artificial intelligence, VR, autonomous driving and CUDA computing, by accommodating nVidia GPU with up to 250W TDP. Leveraging Intel® C236 chipset, Nuvo-6018GC supports Xeon® E3 V5 or 6th-Gen Core™ i7/i5 CPU with up to 32 GB ECC/ non-ECC DDR4 memory. It incorporates general computer I/Os such as Gigabit Ethernet, USB 3.0 and serial ports. In addition to the x16 PCIe port for GPU installation, Nuvo-6108GC further provides two x8 PCIe slots so you can have additional devices for information collection and communication.Nuvo-6108GC comes with sophisticated power design to handle heavy power consumption and power transient of a 250W GPU. Furthermore, to have reliable GPU performance for industrial environments, Nuvo-6018GC inherits Neousys' patented design, a tuned cold air intake to effectively dissipate the heat generated by GPU. This unique design guarantees operation at 60°C with 100% GPU loading and makes Nuvo-6018GC extremely reliable for demanding field usage.

IPC Configuration

Configure the IPC as follows:

  • ASUS GTX1080 GPU-A8G-Gaming GPU Card

  • 32GB DDR4 RAM

  • PO-280W-OW 280W AC/DC power adapter

  • 2.5" SATA Hard Disk 1TB 7200rpm

Preparing the IPC

Follow these steps:

  1. Prepare and install the Controller Area Network (CAN) card: In the Neousys Nuvo-6108GC, ASUS® GTX-1080GPU-A8G-GAMING GPU card is pre-installed into one of the three PCI slots. We still need to install a CAN card into a PCI slot.

    a. Locate and unscrew the eight screws (shown in the brown squares or pointed by brown arrows) on the side of computer:

b. Remove the cover from the IPC.

You will find 3 PCI slots (one occupied by the	graphic card) located on the base:

Before installing the CAN card

c. [Optional] Set the CAN card termination jumper by removing the red jumper cap (shown in the diagram below) from its default location and placing it at its termination position:

warning_iconWARNING: The CAN card will not work if the termination jumper is not set correctly.

d. [Optional] Insert the CAN card into the slot in the IPC:

  1. Power up the IPC:

    a. Attach the power cable to the power connector (terminal block) that comes with the IPC:

    warning_iconWARNING: Make sure that the positive(labeled R for red) and the negative(labeled B for black) wires of the power cable are inserted into the correct holes on the power terminal block as seen in the image below.

  1. Start the computer:

warningIt is recommended to configure the fan speed through BIOS settings, if one or more plugin card is added to the system

- While starting up the computer, press F2 to enter BIOS setup menu.
- Go to [Advanced] => [Smart Fan Setting]
- Set [Fan Max. Trip Temp] to 50
- Set [Fan Start Trip Temp] to 20

tip_iconIt is recommended that you use a Digital Visual Interface (DVI) connector on the graphic card for the monitor. To set the display to the DVI port on the motherboard, following is the setting procedure:

- While starting up the computer, press F2 to enter BIOS setup menu.
- Go to [Advanced]=>[System Agent (SA) Configuration]=>[Graphics Configuration]=>[Primary Display]=> Set to "PEG"

tip_iconIt is recommended to configure the IPC to run at maximum performance mode at all time:

- While starting up the computer, press F2 to enter BIOS setup menu.
- Go to [Power] => [SKU POWER CONFIG] => set to "MAX. TDP"
  1. Connect the power:
