1 Function Introduction
< 1.1 XPC Introduction
The Shuttle XPC is the original high-performance Small Form Factor (SFF) computer.
Since the first model was introduced in 2001, the XPC has become the world’s bestselling SFF computer brand.
Each Shuttle XPC is sold as a ”barebone” computer~chassis, power supply and
motherboard. The user must add his own processor, memory, drives and, as applicable,
expansion cards. The XPC has been designed to be easily assembled and configured
directly by the end user. Consumers can choose to buy preconfigured, ready-to-run
XPC’s as well~a list of Shuttle-authorized value-added resellers can be found at www.
shuttle.com.
The Shuttle XPC owes its popularity to its unique combination of small-size, highperformance and near universal component compatibility. However, unlike ordinary
desktop computers, Shuttle XPC’s have been engineered as complete systems.
The XPC concept can be summarized as:
Use of high-performance, industry-standard components; Minimum size possible, while
preserving component compatibility and system expansion; Focus on quality~a commitment to quality construction, materials and industrial design.
English
To meet the above requirements, Shuttle has created and patented dozens of new
technologies, including the Integrated Cooling Engine (ICE), which extend and enhance the personal computing experience while reducing heat, noise and space
requirements.
Thank you for choosing the Shuttle XPC!

Appendix
BIOS Settings
The SD36G5M BIOS ROM has a built-in Setup program that allows users to modify
basic system configuration. This information is stored in battery-backed RAM so that it
retains Setup information even if the system power is turned off.
The system BIOS manages and executes a variety of hardware related functions
including:
System date and time
Hardware execution sequence
Power management functions
Allocation of system resources
Enter the BIOS
To enter the BIOS (Basic Input / Output System) utility, follow these steps:
Step1. Power on the computer. The system will perform its POST (Power-On
Self Test) routine checks.
Step2. Press the <Del> key immediately, or at the following message:
Press DEL to enter SETUP, or simultaneously press <Ctrl>,<Alt>,
<Esc> keys
Note 1. If you miss trains of words mentioned in step2 (the message disap-
pears before you can respond) and you still wish to enter BIOS Setup,
restart the system and try again by turning the computer OFF and
ON again or by pressing the <RESET> switch located at the
computer’s front-panel. You may also reboot by simultaneously
pressing the <Ctrl>,<Alt>, <Del> keys simultaneously.
Note 2. If you do not press the keys in time and system does not boot, the
screen will prompt an error message, and you will be given the
following options:
"Press F1 to Continue, DEL to Enter Setup”
Step3. When you enter the BIOS program, the CMOS Setup Utility will display the
Main Menu, as shown in the next section.

DRAM Timing Selectable
The value in this field depends on performance parameters of the installed
memory chips(DRAM). It is recommended that you don't change the value
from the factory setting unless you install new memory that has a different
performance rating than the original DRAMs.
Ø The Choice: Manual or BySPD
CAS Latency Time
When synchronous DRAM is installed, the number of CAS latency clock
cycles depends on the DRAM timing. It is recommended don't change
this field from the default value specified.
Ø The Choice: Auto, 3, 4, 5 or 6.
DRAM RAS # to CAS # Delay
This field lets you insert a timing delay between the CAS and RAS strobe
signals when DRAM is written to, read from, or refreshed. Faster performance is gained at high speed, more stable performance, at low speed.
This field is applied only when synchronous DRAM
is installed in the system.
Ø The Choice: Auto, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6.

English
DRAM RAS # Precharge
If an insufficient number of cycles is allowed for the RAS to accumulate its
charge before DRAM refresh, the refresh may not complete, and the DRAM
may fail to retain data. High gives faster performance; and Slow gives
more stable performance. This field is applicable only when synchronous
DRAM is installed in the system.
Ø The Choice: Auto, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6.
Precharge delay (tRAS)
This item allows you to set Precharge delay (tRAS).
Ø The Choice: 4~15 or Auto.

2. Key in a new password.
The password can not be over eight characters or numbers.
3. The system will then request you to confirm the new password by asking you to
key in the new password again.
4. Once the confirmation is completed, new code is in effect.
No Password Setting:
5. If you want to delete the password, just press the <Enter> key instead of
typing a new password. Follow the procedure as above.
If You Forget Password:

@ Save & Exit Setup
Press <Enter> on this item to save your changes. The system will ask for
confirmation : system
Save to CMOS and EXIT (Y/N)? Y
Pressing "Y" stores the selections made in the menus of CMOS - a special

time you boot your computer, the BIOS configures your system according to the Setup selections stored in CMOS. After saving the values the
system will restart.
English
@ Exit Without Saving
Press <Enter> on this item to exit without saving changes. The system
will ask for confirmation:
Quit without saving (Y/N)? Y
This allows you to exit from Setup without storing in CMOS any change.
The previous selections remain in effect. This exits from the Setup utility
and restarts your computer.
