Overview – Front Panel
USB3.2 Gen2x1 Port 
The system’s USB 3.2 Gen2x1 ports (10Gbps) are implemented via native xHCI
(extensible Host Controller Interface) controller and are backward compatible
with USB3.2 Gen.1 USB 2.0, USB 1.1 and USB 1.0 devices. UEFI USB is also
supported so you can use USB keyboard/ mouse in UEFI shell environment.
Indicated in red are screw-lock holes for the corresponding USB port.
xHCI driver is supported natively in Windows 10, therefore you do not need to
install the xHCI driver prior to utilizing USB functions.
USB2.0 Port 
The USB2.0 ports are
implemented via native xHCI (extensible Host Controller Interface) and are
backward compatible with USB 1.1 and USB 1.0 devices. UEFI USB support is also
provided so you can use USB keyboard/ mouse in UEFI shell environment.
Indicated in red is a screw-lock hole for the corresponding USB port.
xHCI driver is supported natively in Windows 10, therefore you do not need to
install xHCI driver to utilize USB functions.
DVI Port 
DVI-D transmits graphics
data in digital format and therefore can deliver better image quality at high
resolution. The DVI connector on the front panel can either output DVI signals
or other digital signals (via an adapter/ cable) depending on the display
device connected. It supports resolutions up to 1920×1200@60Hz.
The system supports triple independent display outputs by connecting display devices to VGA, DVI and DisplayPort connection. To support multiple display outputs and achieve best DVI output resolution in Windows, you need to install corresponding graphics driver.
VGA Port 
VGA connector is the most common video display connection. The VGA output supports up to 1920×1200@60Hz resolution. The system supports triple independent display outputs by connecting display devices to VGA, DVI and DisplayPort connection. To support multiple display outputs and achieve best VGA output resolution in Windows, you need to install corresponding graphics drivers.
Note
Please make sure your VGA cable includes SDA and SCL (DDC clock and data)
signals for correct communication with monitor to get
resolution/timing information. A cable without SDA/ SCL can cause blank screen
on your VGA monitor due to incorrect resolution/timing output.
USB3.2 Gen1x1 Port
The system’s USB 3.2
Gen1x1 ports (5Gbps) are implemented via native xHCI (extensible Host
Controller Interface) controller and are backward compatible with USB 2.0, USB
1.1 and USB 1.0 devices. UEFI USB is also supported so you can use USB
keyboard/mouse in UEFI shell environment. Indicated in red is a screw-lock
hole for the corresponding USB port. xHCI driver is supported natively in
Windows 10, therefore you do not need to install the xHCI driver prior to
utilizing USB functions.
Display Port 
The system has a
DisplayPort (DP) output which is a digital display interface that mainly
connect video source and carry audio to a display device. When connected to a
DP, it can deliver up to 8K UHD (7680 x 4320 @ 60Hz) in resolution. The system
is designed to support passive DP adapter/ cable. You can connect to other
display devices using DP-to-HDMI cable or DP-to-DVI cable.
The system supports triple independent display outputs by connecting display devices to VGA, DVI and DisplayPort connection. To support multiple display outputs and achieve best DisplayPort output resolution in Windows, you need to install corresponding graphics drivers.
USB3.2 Gen2x2 Type-C Port 
The system’s USB 3.2 Gen2x2 type-C port offers up to 20Gbps of data transfer
bandwidth, and is implemented via the native xHCI (extensible Host Controller
Interface) controller. The port is backward compatible with USB3.2 Gen.1 USB
2.0, USB 1.1 and USB 1.0 devices via a USB hub (not included) to connect to
external devices.
xHCI driver is supported natively in Windows 10, therefore you do not need to
install the xHCI driver prior to utilizing USB functions.
PoE+ Ethernet Port
The ports marked in green/
black are Power over Ethernet (PoE) ports implemented with Intel 1225-1T 2.5G
Ethernet controller, and marked in blue is implemented using Intel@1219-LM
controller that supports Wake-on-LAN and is also compatible with Intel® AMT
(Active Management Technology) to support advanced features such as remote SOL
desktop and remote on/ off control. The four PoE+ ports feature panel screw
fix holes (indicated in red) for a firm and secure connection. The PoE ports
supply electrical power and data on a standard CAT-5/CAT-6 Ethernet cable.
Acting as a PoE PSE (Power Sourcing Equipment), compliant with IEEE 802.3at,
each PoE port delivers up to 25W to a Powered Device (PD), and the system has
a total 100W power PoE budget.
Reset Button 
The reset button is used to manually reset the system in case of system halt or malfunction. To avoid unexpected reset, the button is purposely placed behind the panel. To reset, please use a pin-like object (eg. tip of a pen) to access the reset button.
Status LED Indicator
There are four LED indicators on the I/O panel: IGN, WDT, HDD and PWR. The
descriptions of these four LED are listed in the following table.
Power Button 
The power button is a non-latched switch for ATX mode on/off operation. To turn on the system, press the power button and the PWR LED should light-up green. To turn off the system, issuing a shutdown command in OS is preferred, or you can simply press the power button. To force shutdown when the system freezes, press and hold the power button for 5 seconds. Please note that there is a 5-second interval between on/off operations (i.e. once the system is turned off, there is a 5-second wait before you can power-on the system).
Cassette Module 
Neousys’ patented expansion Cassette (R.O.C. Patent No. M456527) provides a separated compartment to accommodate an add-on card. It effectively manages thermal conditions of both the system and the add-on card. The modular concept brought by Cassette module also reduces the complexity of installing and replacing an add-on card in the fanless controller.
Rear Panel IO 
4-pole 3.5mm Headphone/ Microphone Jack 
The system audio function uses high definition audio. There is a female 4-pole audio jack for headphone (speaker) output and microphone input. The HD audio codec is natively supported in Windows 10 and Windows 11 and no additional drivers are required to enable audio functions on Nuvo-9000 series.
COM Ports 
The system provides four COM ports to communicate with external devices. The
COM ports are implemented using industrial-grade ITE8786 Super IO chip (-40 to
85°C) and provide up to 115200 bps baud rate. COM1 and COM2 (in red) are
software-configurable RS-232/ 422/ 485 ports. COM3 and COM4 (in blue) are
standard 9-wire RS-232 ports. The operation mode of COM1 and COM2 can be set
in BIOS setup utility. The following table describes the pin definition of COM
ports.
3-pin Terminal Block for DC and Ignition Input 
The system accepts a wide range of DC power input from 8 to 48V via a 3-pin
pluggable terminal block, which is fit for field usage where DC power is
usually provided. The screw clamping mechanism on the terminal block offers
connection reliability when wiring DC power.
In addition to DC power input, this terminal block can also accept ignition
signal input (IGN) when ignition control module (eg. MezIO-V20) is installed
for in-vehicle applications.
Warning
Please make sure the voltage of DC power is correct before you connect it to
the system. Supplying a voltage over 48V will damage the system.
3-pin Remote On/ Off 
The “Remote On/ Off” 3-pin connection allows for the connection of an external non-latched switch to turn on/ off the system. It is useful when the system is placed in a cabinet or a not easily accessed location. You may connect an external status LED (20mA) indicator by connecting to PWR LED and GND.
