Neousys Nuvo-7164GC/7166GC Intel 9th/8th Gen Core Edge AI PCs with NVIDIA L4, T4 or A2 GPUs

NVIDIA data centre GPUs such as the L4, T4 and A2 are passively cooled cards built for server airflow, which makes them awkward to fit into an industrial box PC. The Neousys Nuvo-7164GC and Nuvo-7166GC are edge AI computers designed around them, with a GPU cassette whose fan drives air straight over the card heatsink so it can sustain full inference load away from a server room.

Both models have an LGA1151 socket for Intel 9th or 8th Gen Core i7, i5 or i3 processors at 35 W or 65 W, from the i7-9700E and i7-8700 to the i3-9100TE and i3-8100T. The Q370 chipset supports Intel AMT 12.0 and TPM 2.0, two SO-DIMM sockets take up to 64 GB of DDR4-2666, and Intel UHD Graphics 630 drive VGA, DVI-D and a 4K DisplayPort output. The GPU sits in a PCIe x16 slot in the cassette, and a MezIO port takes a Neousys module for isolated DIO, more serial ports, ignition control or a 4G socket.

There are two versions. The Nuvo-7164GC has one PCIe x16 slot with all 16 lanes of Gen3 for the GPU. The Nuvo-7166GC splits the cassette into two PCIe x16 slots with eight lanes each, so the GPU can sit beside a frame grabber, a 10GbE card or a fieldbus card. NVIDIA requires 0 °C to 50 °C operation for systems with an L4, T4 or A2 under its warranty policy.

Both versions share six GbE ports by an Intel I219 and five I210 controllers, with IEEE 802.3at PoE+ on ports three to six from a 100 W budget as a build option, four USB 3.1 Gen 2 and four Gen 1 ports, two RS-232/422/485 and two RS-232 ports, a mic-in and speaker-out jack, two SATA bays with RAID 0 or 1, an M.2 NVMe socket, mSATA, a mini PCIe socket and an M.2 LTE socket with two front SIM slots. Power is 8 to 35 V DC on a terminal block, with a second terminal block for a remote power switch and LED. The system runs from -25 °C to 60 °C with a 35 W CPU (to 50 °C with a 65 W CPU at full power), meets MIL-STD-810G for vibration and shock, and carries CE and FCC Class A. Wall mounting is standard and DIN rail mounting is optional.
