Robust, Stylish and Extremely Small

You should have held it in your own hands to experience how small it actually is. Barely 1.35 litre in volume, its rigid steel chassis design 9meets the high standards towards quality and stability that are essential for professional applications like digital signage. Despite its diminutive size, the processing power inside the DS10U3 is sufficient to meet the needs of the most demanding multimedia and computational workloads. The well-designed interior of the DS10U3 makes installations and upgrades simple. Other than rough environments, its sleek and stylish look also blends seamlessly in both home and office.

Ease of installation thanks to bay covers

The Shuttle XPC slim Barebone DS10U3 features two practical bay covers at the bottom of the chassis which make the installation or upgrade of hardware components a breeze. No cable is required and no cooling system needs to be installed. 24/7 nonstop operation and 0~40°C temperature range The Shuttle XPC slim Barebone DS10U3 is officially approved for 24/7 permanent operation. Thanks to its low power consumption and completely passive cooling, this PC runs highly reliably making it perfectly suitable for digital signage and POI/POS applications – even at ambient temperatures of up to 40 °C.

Conditions for permanent use:

- Free circulation of air amongst the PC must be guaranteed

- Ventilation holes must stay clear

- If a hard disk is installed, this must also be approved for permanent operation by its manufacturer

- For high ambient temperatures higher than 35 °C we strongly recommend to use an SSD instead of an HDD.

No fan noise

A large heatsink is concealed behind a plastic cover and cools down the processor in a passive way without any fan. Using an SSD drive instead of a hard disk makes the system virtually noiseless and hence perfectly suitable for noise-sensitive environments like e.g. a library, living room, music studio or even a bedroom.

Energy-saving

Power consumption mainly depends on system load. Equipped with a 2.5” SSD drive, the system consumes about 6 W in idle mode. Assuming the device runs 5 days a week for eight hours a day in idle mode, the annual consumption would amount to less than 12,5 kWh which would mean just 4 Euros on the power bill (30 Euro ct/kWh) - way less than a conventional desktop PC draws.

Energy-efficient Intel® Whiskey Lake-U Processor

The Shuttle XPC slim Barebone DS10U3 is equipped with an Intel® Core processor of the Whiskey Lake-U series which is soldered to mainboard and passively cooled by a large heatsink. This ultra low voltage (ULV) processor belongs to Intel's 8th-generation Intel Core processor family manufactured in a new energy-efficient 14 nm architecture. As a result of further integration, it comes as a system-on-a-chip (SoC) without the need of an extra chipset. The integrated Intel HD Graphics engine supports DirectX 12 and Ultra HD / 4K resolution via DisplayPort 1.2 or HDMI 2.0a.

Triple Display with HDMI 2.0a, DisplayPort 1.2 and VGA

The DS10U3 features three video outputs which helps improve on productivity by allowing for spreading multiple windows across three monitors while working with them simultaneously. It even supports two Ultra HD displays at 60 Hz via its digital HDMI and DisplayPort outputs.

Dual Intel Gigabit LAN Network

The Shuttle XPC slim Barebone DS10U3 supports Dual Gigabit LAN with Intel network adapters, which are popular for their excellent performance and driver compatibility and are the preferred choice for professional environments.

RS-232/422/485 serial port

Many PCs do not have these legacy ports any longer, since they have been superseded and replaced by USB for most consumer applications, but they are still commonly used for applications such as industrial automation, scientific analysis, POS systems and other such fields of application. The Shuttle XPC slim Barebone DS10U3 features one serial RS-232/422/485 port which also supports both 5 and 12 V auxiliary voltage. Optionally, a second RS-232 COM port can be installed, if the VGA port is not required.

M.2-2280-Slot for SSD cards

The M.2-2280 slot supports M.2 SSD storage cards with PCIe interface and NVMe support or the SATA standard. Type 2280 means, it supports the usual M.2 cards with a width of 22 mm and a length of 80 mm, but also 2242 and 2260 standard cards are supported.

SD Card Reader

The built-in SD card reader at the front makes file transfer from and to a digital camera easy. It takes SD, SDHC and SDXC memory flash cards in standard size format and also supports booting from bootable SD cards.

External power button

If space is an object (e.g. in case of a fixed installation) and the machine cannot be switched on by pressing the front power button, it can be powered on by a separate remote line (also see Shuttle Accessory CXP01). An appropriate four-pin-connector “SW2” can be found at the back panel of the Shuttle XPC slim Barebone DS10U3 (pitch 2.54 mm). In addition, this connector also provides the Clear CMOS function and an external 5 V DC voltage supply.

Power on after Power fail

The BIOS setup provides a "Power-On after Power Fail" function that can be found under "Power Management Configuration". As the name indicates, this function determines the PC's behaviour after power failure: (1) unconditional power on, (2) restore former status, (3) keep system turned off or (4) Power On by LAN. As a matter of the nature of this function, it may fail after short power failures. This is why the DS10U3 also comes with a hardware-based solution. By removing Jumper J9 (see quick guide) the system will start unconditionally once power is applied.

Kensington Lock

This is a small, metal-reinforced hole as part of an anti-theft system. The Shuttle XPC slim Barebone DS10U3 provides an appropriate hole on both sides of its chassis. The lock-and-cable is not included.

VESA mount

The supplied 75/100mm VESA mount allows the Shuttle XPC slim Barebone DS10U3 to be wall-mounted or just to be affixed on the rear side of a monitor which is particularly interesting for the industry segment, company buildings and public institutions. Besides, the chassis of the Shuttle XPC slim Barebone DS10U3 provides numerous threaded holes (M3) enabling it to be fitted almost anywhere.
