2.6 Expansion Cassette
Neousys’ patented expansion Cassette
(R.O.C. Patent No. M456527)
is an innovation design
for fanless controller. By providing a separated compartment to accommodate add-on card,
it’s more effective to manage the thermal conditions of both the system and the add-on card.
The modular concept brought by Cassette also reduces the complexity of installing and
replacing an add-on card in the fanless controller.
Nuvo-5006E/5002E contains a Cassette with PCI Express slot, Nuvo-5006P/5002P
contains a Cassette with PCI slot and Nuvo-5026E contains a Cassette that has dual x8
PCI Express slots, each with x4 PCI Express signal. If users want to use an add-on card
with higher power consumption, the fan (optional for Nuvo-5000 series, standard accessory
for Nuvo-5026E) can create adequate air flow and maintain stable thermal condition for
Cassette.

Note
1.
Due to the fanless feature, the total power consumption of installed PCI and PCIe cards
should be confined to 16W to limit the heat generated by add-on cards and maintain the
system stability. For applications need add-on cards which consume more than 16W, the
fan option is suggested to maintain a reasonable temperature inside the chassis. Please
refer to section 2.6.4.
2.
The operating temperature of the whole system when cards installed is affected by the
power consumption and operating temperature of add-on cards. Please consult your add-on
card supplier or Neousys Technology for further information.
