Value Mini-PC Barebone for the 2nd
generation Intel Core processors

The XPC Barebone SH61R4 with Socket 1155 supports powerful
Intel Core processors of the second generation and is based on
the Intel H61 chipset. Two high-resolution displays can be
connected using the two DVI connectors on the rear panel to
manage demanding visualization tasks. Ten USB ports are present,
three of which being USB 3.0, and allow for connecting different
peripheral devices. Two DIMM sockets can take up to 8 GB of
dual-channel DDR3 memory. As a special feature, the front panel
of the R4 chassis boasts a removable acrylic plate for a
customizable front design. The SH61R4 convinces as an attractive
aluminium Mini PC with modern technologies and a reliable
heatpipe cooling system.

Shuttle XPC Barebone SH61R4 – Product Features

The R4 chassis design: a clean and modern look

Shuttle has always placed great emphasis on the interior and exterior
aesthetics of the XPC with the belief that a good blend of style and
form factor allows the XPC to be attractive, versatile, and work well in
almost any environment. The construction and cover of the R4 chassis
is made of aluminium. This leads to a stylish-robust appearance and
makes it a popular design. The drives and media connectors on the
front are easy to access in daily use.

Customizable

The front of this XPC can easily be customized by simply changing the
mylar behind the acylic front plate. Add your individual design such as
a photo, graphics or a company logo to the front panel in just a few
steps.

Small, but easy to build

Shuttle XPCs offer the performance of a desktop PC at a third of the

32.5 cm size while using standard desktop components. Be ready for the future

when banking on Shuttle’s new H3 chassis. The meticulously designed
internal layout features pre-routed cables to reduce clutter, increase
airflow and make the installation of components easy.

Supports Intel 32nm Sandy Bridge Processors

Sandy Bridge is the codename for Intel's new 32nm processor
microarchitecture introduced in early 2011. It is the most sweeping
architectural transition from Intel since the introduction of Pentium 4. In
addition up to four CPU cores, the design incorporates the memory
controller, PCIe links and the graphics processor. This integration brings
higher performance, lower platform power consumption and more
compact packaging. The integrated graphics processor (IGP) has
become more capable. It can decode and encode H.264 high­definition video streams. The architecture provides a high-bandwidth,
ring-style interconnect between the cores with their associated L3
cache partitions and the IGP. This also allows the IGP to expand its
available bandwidth by making use of the L3 cache.

2nd Generation Intel Core processor family

The new "Sandy Bridge" processors for socket 1155 follow the same
naming system as its predecessor "Nehalem" for socket 1156, but are
not downward compatible. Please refer to the support list for detailed
processor support information at global.shuttle.com.

Single-Chip Chipset: Intel H61 Express

The design of the Core i3/i5/i7 processors will eliminate the need for the
traditional Northbridge found on previous generation mainboards. Thus
the Shuttle XPC Barebone SH61R4 sports Intel's H61 Express Platform
Controller Hub (PCH) from the Intel 6-Series "Cougar Point" family which
integrates the hard drive controller, network controllers, monitor and
physical interfaces, PCIe links and other input/output functionalities.

Integrated Cooling Engine (I.C.E.)

Shuttle XPCs offer the performance of a desktop PC at a third of the
size. In order to ensure proper airflow inside such a small case, more
advanced cooling technologies have been developed and
implemented in the Shuttle XPC. Shuttle's industry-leading I.C.E.
heatpipe technology delivers efficient cooling and is exceptionally
quiet.

What does “Barebone” mean?

The Shuttle XPC Barebone SH61R4 consists of a stylish case with pre­installed mainboard, power supply unit (PSU) and cables. Despite its
small form factor, it offers outstanding connectivity, functionality and
performance. For a full PC system, components such as a processor,
memory, hard disk and operating system need to be added that can
be chosen individually to ideally match personal needs. Some XPC
models require a graphics card to be added.

2x USB 3.0

The Shuttle XPC Barebone SH61R4 sports two USB 3.0 ports on the back
panel besides eight USB 2.0 ports on both front and rear. USB 3.0
achieves a maximum data rate of up to 5.0Gbps (640MBytes/sec)
which is ten times faster than USB 2.0. USB 3.0 is fully compatible to USB

2.0, but not to USB 1.1. At first USB 3.0 connectors seem no different to
USB 2.0 connectors, however USB 3.0 connectors have 5 more pins
placed inside the connector itself. USB 2.0 can provide a maximum
output of 500mA to the USB device while USB 3.0 can provide a
maximum output of 900mA which is particularly important for portable
hard drives. USB 3.0 also comes with better power saving features to let
devices draw less power when idle.

PCI-Express V2.0 for high-performance graphics cards

The Shuttle XPC Barebone SH61R4 is equipped with one PCI-Express x16
Version 2.0 slot delivering a bandwidth of up to 16GB/s which is twice
the speed of PCI-E 1.0. Thus there is plenty of potential for the newest
graphics cards. It is also downward compatible, allowing for use of
most of the current present graphics cards. SH61R4 also features a
6 Pin ATX auxiliary power connector for powerful graphics cards.
