Overview – Front Panel
USB3.1 Gen2 & USB3.1 Gen1
The system’s USB 3.1 Gen 2 (10Gbps) and USB3.1 Gen1 (5Gbps) ports are implemented via native xHCI (eXtensible Host Controller Interface) controller and are backward compatible with USB3.1 Gen.1 USB 2.0, USB 1.1 and USB 1.0 devices. Legacy USB is also supported so you can use USB keyboard/ mouse in DOS environment
xHCI driver is supported natively in Windows 10, therefore you do not need to install the xHCI driver prior to utilizing 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.
DisplayPort
The DisplayPort (DP) is a digital display interface that connects video source and carry audio to a display device. When connecting a DP, it delivers up to 4K UHD (4096 x 2304) in resolution. Designed to support passive DP adapter/ cable, it can connect to other display devices using DP-to-HDMI cable or DP-to-DVI cable
Micro-SIM (3FF) 1 & 2 Slots
On the front panel, there are two panel-accessible Micro-SIM sockets. By installing 3G/ 4G modules onto the internal M.2 slot, you can access the internet via telecom operator’s network. The Micro-SIM slots can be accessed by loosening the screw (indicated in ) that holds the Micro-SIM slot cover and Micro-SIM cards are secured into the sockets via push-push type mechanisms. The push-push mechanism means the SIM card is push-to-install and push-toretrieve. Please note that the SIM1 micro-SIM card must be inserted upsidedown (gold fingers facing upward) while SIM2 micro-SIM must be inserted rightside up (gold fingers facing downward).
note: The dual SIM card functionality is only available when Sierra Wireless EM7455/ 7430 solution is installed. For other M.2 4G add-on solutions, SIM card 1 slot is the default functioning slot.
Gigabit Ethernet/ PoE+ Port
The system offers two GbE ports (in and ) and four additional PoE (Power over Ethernet) ports marked in on the front panel. The port marked in is implemented using Intel® I219-LM controller that supports Wake-on-LAN and is also compatible with Intel Active Management Technology (AMT) to support advanced features such as remote SOL desktop and remote on/ off control. PoE supplies 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). Please refer to the table below for LED connection statuses.
Reset Button & LED Indicator
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.
There are four LED indicators on the I/O panel: IGN, WDT, HDD and 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) is an innovation design for fanless controller. It 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 also reduces the complexity of installing and replacing an add-on card in the fanless controller. The Cassette enclosure itself incorporates an innovative mechanical design to effectively deal with the heat generated by GPU. This patented architecture (R.O.C. Patent No. M534371) creates a sealed wind tunnel to bring in cold air to the GPU and expels hot air via a system fan. The design offers the system extreme stability and reliability when operating at 60°C with the GPU under 100% load. The expansion Cassette enclosure

MCU Reset Button & Real-time Vision I/O
- You may use the to manually reset the MCU without resetting the whole system. To avoid unexpected resets, 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. MCU reset button
- Real-time vision I/O is managed by Neousys’ patented MCU-based architecture and DTIO/ NuMCU firmware for microsecond-scale realtime I/O control. It also supports various machine vision peripherals such as CC/ CV lighting controller, quadrature encoder input, PWM output, isolated DI/ DO, 12V camera trigger output etc.
COM Ports
- The system provides four COM ports for communicating with external devices. These 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
4-pole 3.5mm Headphone/ Microphone Jack
The system audio function uses high definition audio Realtek ALC262 codec. There is a female 4-pole audio jack for headphone (speaker) output and microphone input. To utilize the audio function in Windows, you need to install corresponding drivers for both Intel® Q370 chipset and Realtek ALC262 codec
3-pin Terminal Block (DC/ Ignition Input) & Remote On/ Off
The system accepts a wide range of DC power input from 8 to 35V 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-EP) 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 35V will damage the system.
The Remote On/ Off 3-pin connection allows for external switch extension. 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.
