Shuttle XPC Slim XS35V5 Pro Barebone Review

Others/All-in-one PC by stefan @ 2016-02-02

Shuttle XPC Slim XS35V5 Pro was designed to be fanless, quiet, reliable for a 24/7 operation and it is not focused on high performance. The N3050 Intel Celeron processor also features Intels’ 8th Gen HD Graphics which supports Full HD video encoding/decoding so the manufacturer is recommending this machine for Office work, media playback (Full HD content) but we would also like to add that the product handles well browsing too if we do not have a big number of tabs open and we do also have at least 4GB of DDR3L SODIMM memory installed inside the supplied slot. Besides the location where we can install the HDD/SSD, we also have the option to mount an internal USB Flash Drive and install and optical drive; with an additional accessory, the optical drive can be also replaced with a secondary 2.5’’ HDD/SSD.

Quick Look inside the BIOS

XS35V5 Pro comes with a really simple APTIO BIOS interface, since this product is not designed of gaming or overclocking in any way, but office productivity or light media center applications; inside the Main menu area, we do have information regarding the currently installed BIOS version, the CPU, installed memory but we can also adjust the system date and time:

The Advanced area is split into multiple sub-sections:

-Power Management Configuration

-Hardware Health Configuration

-Onboard Device Configuration

-CPU Configuration

-SATA Configuration

-USB Configuration

The Power Management menu offers us only two options for modifications, others being greyed-out:

The Hardware Health Configuration menu is displaying the current CPU/System temperatures, but also the voltages in different areas:

Onboard Device Configuration menu allows us to enable/disable certain interfaces:

From the CPU Configuration menu, we will get even more details on the installed CPU and from here we can enable/disable C States or Intel V.T.:

SATA Configuration menu is only displaying us the installed drives:

Same thing can be said about the USB Configuration menu:

The Security menu allows us to change the current passwords, enable Flash Write Protection or enable Secure Boot Control:

General Boot options can be located in the next menu:

Finally, we have the Exit menu which allows us to Save/Discard or load factory defaults:
