XPC cube SW580R8

14-litre cube for server and workstation applications

The Shuttle XPC Barebone SW580R8 offers impressive performance in a compact format. Like its sister model SH570R8, it supports 10th and 11th generation Intel Core processors, up to four large 3.5″ hard drives with RAID function, 128 GB DDR4-3200 RAM and dual-slot graphics cards. In addition, it is compatible with Xeon-W series processors that offer ECC and vPro support to improve system stability and remote maintenance capabilities.

The SW580R8 has four network connections, including two with 2.5 GBit/s, a second M.2 slot for SSDs and a TPM security chip. This powerful equipment in an aluminium housing with a volume of only 14 litres makes the SW580R8 the ideal platform for demanding mini servers and workstation PCs that offer maximum reliability even under high loads.

Supports Intel® vPro™ and AMT
Intel® vPro™ is a brand name for certain management and security technologies. Intel® Active Management Technology (AMT) is a part of vPro. This technology enables remote PC management – even when the PC is switched off or the operating system is defective. The virtual check and recovery of AMT platforms in the network can increase the availability of PCs and reduce maintenance costs.
Note: Intel vPro requires suitable software and processors.
The Intel® MEBX user interface is called up by pressing CTRL-P at the start of the boot process.
Only Intel Xeon or certain Core i5/i7/i9 processors support the Intel vPro® function.
Only the Intel i219 network chip supports the Intel vPro® function. Use the second LAN port from the left for this.

This device is categorised as Class B information technology equipment (ITE) and is primarily intended for use in residential and office environments. The CE mark confirms conformity with the following EU directives:

(1) Directive 2014/30/EU on electromagnetic compatibility (EMC),

(3) Directive 2009/125/EC on the ecodesign of energy-related products (ErP).

[1] Converting DisplayPort to HDMI/DVI
The DisplayPort output can be converted to HDMI or DVI using an inexpensive, passive adapter cable. For example:
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 function recognises the characteristics of the connected display and outputs the appropriate electrical signal – either DisplayPort (without adapter) or HDMI/DVI (with adapter).
Conversely, a monitor with DisplayPort cannot be connected to the HDMI output via a simple, passive adapter.
[2] Integrated graphics is optional
Note: Processors whose model designation ends with “F” (e.g. Intel Core i5-11600F) do not have an integrated graphics function, so the graphics outputs of the Shuttle XPC have no function. In this case, an additional discrete PCIe graphics card is absolutely necessary.
[3] Online Power Calculator
The PCI-Express X16 slot supplies a maximum of 75 watts to the graphics card, plus 75 watts and 150 watts via the 6-pin and 8-pin power connectors of the power supply unit – the power dissipation of the graphics card must therefore not exceed 300 watts. The processor may have a maximum TDP of 125 watts. If powerful PC components are used, use the “Power Supply Calculator” to check whether the built-in 500 watt power supply unit supports this configuration, see: http://global.shuttle.com/support/power.
