Powerful 3-litre PC offers space for
four 2.5" drives plus M.2-SSD
The ultra-com pact Shuttle XPC s lim Barebone XH27 0 comes in a robus t
metal chass is and can be used in many ways . With three concurrently
usable graphics ports and numerous USB ports , it is highly f lexible for
off ice and media applications and supports a huge range of
proces sors too. I ts COM por t and the practical "always-on-jumper"
also makes it interesting for industrial envi ronments. Special h ighlights
include support for up to four 2.5" drive bays and one M.2-2280 slot
for NVMe drives. This can make it a mini se rver PC with RAID 10
support. Plus , the re are two Intel network ports that support teaming
mode. The XH270 is the perfect basis for a power -efficient and
reliable system for a wide range of app lications. The built -in heatpipe
cooling ensures the s ystem runs quietly at maximum stability.

Conformity
and
Certifications
EMI: FCC, CE, BSMI, C-Tick
Safety: CB, BSMI, ETL
Others: RoHS, Energy Star V5.0, EuP Lot 6
This device is classed as a techn ical information
equipment (ITE) in class B and is intended for use in
living room and office. The CE -mark approves the
conformity by the EU-guid elines:
- EMV-guideline 89/336/EW G electromagnet ic to lerance
- L VD-guideline 73/23/EWG use of electric devices
within certain voltage-limits
Notes:
[1] Power-on-after-power-fail:
The BIOS setup provides a "Power-on-after-power-fail" function that can be found under "Pow er Management
Configuration ". As the name indicates, this function determi nes the PC's behaviour after power failure: (1)
unconditional power on, (2) restore former status or (3) keep system turned off. As a matter of the nature of this
function, it may fail after short power failures. This is why the XH270 also comes with a hardware-based solution. By
removing Jumper 4 (on the mainboard near th e "Shuttle" printing), the system will start unconditionally once power
is supplied.
[2] How to convert DisplayP ort into HDMI/DVI
The DisplayPort output can be con verted to HDMI or DVI by an additional, passive adapter cable. For example:
DELOCK 82590: 1 m, Displa yPort (male, 20p) to HDMI -A (male, 19p)
DELOCK 82435: 5 m, Displa yPort (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.
[3] Installation of Windows 7
Intel® 100 chipset series has been removed s upport for the Enhanced Host Controller Interface (EHCI) which is the
driver software for the USB 2.0 ports. The new chipset only supports the updated Extensible Host Controller Interface
(xHCI for USB 3.0) which is not supported by the original Windows 7 installat ion disk. This means, that perip heral
devices connected over USB (like keyboard, mouse and external optical drive) do not work during Windows 7
installation. Therefore please add the required USB 3.0 drivers to the Windows 7 installation files manually. This
procedure is explained in the Shuttle FAQ section at faq.shuttle.eu.
[4] Use of Kaby Lake processor
If a Kab y Lake processor is used, this XPC will only support Windows 10 and Linux operating systems. Windows 7
and 8.1 will no longer be supported.
[5] Teaming Mode
The teaming function allows you to group both availab le network a d apters together to function as one single
adapter. The benefit of this appr oach is that it enables load balancing and failover.
Driver download: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/21642
[6] High ambient t emperature
For high ambient t emperature s over 40 °C we strongly recommend to use SSDs inst ead of hard disk drives.
[7] Opti onal Wireless LAN module:
This Shuttle XPC slim Barebone supports the optional Shuttle XPC Acces sory WLN -M which consists of a M.2-2230
card w ith IEEE 802.11ac and BT4.0 functionality and two external antennas with appropriate antenna cables.
[8] Power connector for SATA drives
The supplied power cables for SATA drives provid e a voltag e of 5 V. In very rare cases a 2.5" hard disk also requires
a 12 V line, which is n ot supported (e.g. S eagat e Constellation® series).
