Shuttle's XPC nano Series gets a
performance boost
The NC03U series is powered by Intel's power-saving ULV (ultra-lowvoltage) processors of the Kaby Lake generation. Compared with
the NC02U series, it brings higher clo ck frequencies, improved
graphics perf ormance and support of faster DDR4 memory up to
2x 16 GB. Furthermore, one 2.5" drive up to 15 mm in height as
well as one M.2-2280 NVMe SSD card can be installed. The
DisplayP ort connector delivers video resolutions of up to 4K at 60
frames per second while a second di splay can be connected via
HDMI. USB peripherals use either the type A or type C ports. Pro fessional users will appreciate Intel Gigabit-LAN and one serial port
which indicates what purposes the NC03U series is mainly intended for: Digital Signage, POS, control, office or even multimedia.

Stylish and absolutely small
The black plastic case with its c urves and coppery elements is certain
to be the eyecatcher on your desk. Its volume o f barely 850 ml makes
it hardly noticabl e as a PC, particularly when it is hi dden behind
monitors thanks to the suppl ied VESA mount. Despite its dinky
dimens ions, it provides generous connectivity options and even room
for one 2.5 inch drive which can be an SSD or HDD .
Easy installation
Remove just two screws to unmount the two chass is co vers.
SD Card Reader
The built-in SD card reader at the front side makes file tra nsfer 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.
M.2-2280-Slot for SSD cards
The M.2-2280 BM slot supports M.2 SSD storage cards with SATA or with
the more advanced PCIe interface with NVMe support.
Type 2280 means, it sup ports 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.
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been superseded and replaced by USB for most consumer applications, but they are still commonly used for applicati ons such as
industrial automation s ystems, scientific analysis, POS systems and other
such fields. The Shuttle XPC nano B arebone NC03U3 feat ur es on e serial
RS-232 interface with t he traditional 9-pin D-Sub connector for easy
connection of appropriate components. Not e: The serial connector
(COM port) cannot be used , if NC03U3 is op erated in vertical position.

Dual Monitoring via HDMI and DisplayPort
The NC03U3 can connect two d igital displays through its HDMI and
DisplayPort. Dual monitoring helps improve on productivity by a llowing
for spreading multiple windows across two monitors while working with
them simultaneously.
Note: Dual channel memory (two identi cal modules) is requir ed to
support 4K Ultra-HD resolution (2160p).
Supports 4K Ultra HD at 60 Hz
The NC03U3 supports displays running at 4K (3840 x 2160 / 2160p) high
resolution at 60Hz frames per second when connected to its DisplayPort
video output. Being the successor to t he Full HD standard, Ultra HD
delivers a fo ur times higher resolution wit h a w ider colour space and
colour depth. Note: dual chann el memory (two identical modules) is
required.
USB 3.0 type A and type C
The Shuttle XPC nano Barebon e NC03U3 has four USB ports, two of
which are USB 3.0. USB 3.0 "SuperSpeed" provides a significant
performance increase over pr evious USB generations making it the
ideal interface for demanding, external peripherals. USB 3.0 supports
up to 5Gb/s full duplex which mea ns an up to 10 t imes greater
performance than USB 2.0. One of the USB 3 .0 connectors is a "type-C"
connector with reversible plug orientation. This type of conn ector is
especially intended to connect new-generation mobile devices.
Supports high-capacity drives
The NC03U3 supports 2.5 inch drives up t o a maximum hei ght of 15
mm. This makes overall capacities of up to 4 TB possible, while many
other PCs in a similar form factor are limited to drives with a maximum
height of 7 to 9.5 mm.
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 fu nction det ermines the PC's behaviour after power
failure. As a matter of the nature of this function, it may fail after short
power failures. This is why the NC03U3 also comes with a hardwarebased solution. By remo ving Jumper JP1 (see Quick Installation Guide),
the system will start unconditionally once power is appl ied.
Kensington Lock
This is a small, m etal-reinforced hole as part of an anti-theft syst em. The
Shuttle XPC nano Barebone NC03U3 provides an appropriate hole on
both sides of its chassis. The lock -and-cable is not included.

[1] How to convert DisplayPort into HDMI/D VI
The DisplayPort outputs can be converted to HDMI or DVI by an additional, passive adapter cable. For e xample:
DELOCK 82590: 1 m, DisplayPort (male, 20p) to HDMI -A (male, 19p)
DELOCK 82435: 5 m, DisplayPort (male, 20p) to DVI-D (male, 24p)
The integrated graphics automatically detects the connected display and puts out the appropriate electric signal either DisplayPort (without an adapter) or HDMI/DVI (with an adapter).
However, a monitor with a DisplayPort connector cannot be connected to the HDMI port with a simple, passive
adapter. In t his case an act ive adapter like Delock 62496 is required.
Connecting a UHD/4K display via the present HDMI port means the refr eshing rat e is limited to 24 Hz. 60 Hz can only
be achieved by using the DisplayPort port. Should your display have a HDMI 2.0 connector, a refreshing rate of 60
Hz can be achieved by using an active adapter such as the Club 3D CAC -1070 for example.
[2] Audio connector
The 3.5 mm audio jack at the back panel of this device supports both a 4 -pole connector for headphon es and
microphone and headphones with only a 3-pole connector. Headsets with separate connectors for headphones
and microphone, though, require an appropr iate adapter, if also the microphone should be used.
[3] Caution: For high ambient temperatures over 35 °C we strongly recommend to use SSDs (supp ortin g at least 70
°C) instead of hard disks.
[4] Power-on after Pow er Fail:
The BIOS setup provides a "Pow er-on after Power Fail" function that can be found und er "Power Management
Configuration ". This function determines the PC's behaviour after power failure. As a matter of the nature of this
function, it may fail after short power failures. This is why this P C also comes with a hardware-based solution. By
removing Jumper JP1 (please refer to the Quick Installation Guide) , the system will start unconditionally once power
is applied.
