Shuttle XPC slim DL30N Barebone Review

Others/All-in-one PC by stefan @ 2024-07-21

XPC slim DL30N is an entry-level, completely fanless miniPC from Shuttle that does not concentrate on performance, but low power consumption. The Intel N100 is only equipped with E-cores and despite the advertised 3.4 GHz boost clocks, this speed is only available for very short periods of time and when the system is not loaded on all cores; the PL1 Power Limit is set at 6W and for not exceeding this value while all cores are loaded, the speed will decrease even to about 900MHz! The Shuttle cooling system is doing its job great, so we did not see temperatures exceeding 52 degrees Celsius even at highest loads, so we cannot say the lowered clocks are because of throttling.

Product Features

100% FANLESS

Energy-saving technology combined with an ingenious cooling system mean no fans are required. No operating noise at all, fewer moving parts and therefore lower maintenance costs too.

WIRED REMOTE STARTING

This model features a remote power-on connection. Any two-pin cable can be used to connect dedicated buttons via pins on the back and they then allow the machine to be started remotely.

TWO PARTICULARLY FAST NETWORK CONNECTIONS

This feature is particularly interesting for demanding network applications - two 2.5 Gbit/s Ethernet connections enable physically separate networks and are 2.5× faster than conventional network interfaces.

SPACE FOR A 2.5" DRIVE

As a complement to an NVMe SSD, this model also offers a home to classic data storage devices in 2.5" format*. Hard disks and SSDs in this format offer many terabytes of storage space.

(*Up to a height of 9.5 mm)

UP TO 16 GB OF DDR5 RAM

Modern professional applications consume a particularly large amount of memory. With up to 16 GB of RAM, this mini-PC can handle any demanding task.

ADD-ONS VIA M.2 MODULE

Two M.2 slots enable expansion with storage media and additional modules, such as for Wi-Fi or 4G. Thanks to the PCI Express connection, large amounts of data can be transported quickly via the M.2 slot.

M.2-2280 for an NVMe SSD

M.2-2230 for a Wi-Fi module

PLENTY OF USB PORTS

A total of eight USB Type-A ports with 5 Gbit/s are evenly distributed across the front and rear of this mini PC.

SERIAL PORT

The classic among the interfaces. COM ports are still needed for professional applications, for example in cash register systems and in products from the fields of science and industry.

GREAT FLEXIBILITY IN THE CHOICE OF SCREENS

Three different graphics outputs, with both digital and analogue signals, offer great flexibility in the choice of display. This model has an HDMI 2.0, DisplayPort and VGA connection.

ANTI-THEFT PROTECTION

The Kensington security slot on the side of the case (also called K-Slot or Kensington Lock) serves as an anti-theft device. Suitable security solutions in various designs are available from specialist dealers.
