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. These powerful features in an aluminium housing with a volume of just 14 litres make the SW580R8 the ideal platform for demanding mini servers and workstation PCs that offer maximum reliability even under high loads.

Space for fast dual-slot graphics cards
Often, only the really big graphics cards deliver the necessary performance. This XPC offers sufficient space in most cases. The dual-slot graphics cards suitable for this model can be up to 280 mm long, 120 mm high × 40 mm wide.

Sophisticated cooling system
To ensure reliable operation even under high load, this model combines two cooling methods. A heatpipe dissipates the waste heat from the processor on the housing and its large fan generates a constant flow of air through the inside of the housing.

Heatpipe cooling system
The processor transfers its waste heat to the copper element of the heatpipe’s heat sink, which heats up the tubes and triggers heat transport towards the cooling fins. The housing fan pushes air through the fins and cools them down in turn.

Sophisticated airflow routing
The regulated fan draws in fresh air through large openings on the sides of the lid and underneath the housing. On its way out, this air flows past drives, components and important parts, which are cooled in this way.

Three 4K-compatible monitor connections
Two DisplayPort connections and one HDMI 2.0 connection* enable high-resolution multi-monitor workstations and thus the display of large amounts of information that can be captured at a glance.
(*only when using an 11th generation Intel Core processor, otherwise the connection only works in HDMI 1.4b mode)

Suitable for error-correcting memory
In critical business and research areas, downtimes should be avoided at all costs. The use of ECC memory modules can reduce crashes and ensure significantly higher system stability. With four slots and therefore a total of 128 GB ECC RAM, this Mini-PC meets every requirement.

Two PCI Express slots offer expansion potential
One PCIe slot in x16-4.0* format and one slot in x4-3.0 format can be fitted to suit the intended use. Examples include graphics cards, network cards, I/O cards, data carriers or professional AV cards.
(*only when using an 11th generation Intel Core processor)

Three expansion options via M.2 module
Three M.2 slots enable expansion with multiple data carriers and additional modules, such as for WLAN or mobile communications. Thanks to the PCI Express connection, high data volumes can be transported quickly via the M.2 slot.

Four network interfaces
This feature is extremely interesting for important network applications – four RJ45 connections enable physically separate networks and much more.

Remote start via wire
This model has a remote power-on connection. Pins on the rear can be used to connect your own buttons with any two-pole cable, which can then be used for a remote start.

Up to four 3.5″ drives
Many dozens of terabytes of storage space: The internal installation frame of this model offers space for up to four hard drives in 3.5″ format. There are also suitable holes for a 2.5″ SSD. However, additional SSDs in 2.5″ format require a mounting frame.

Thermal security for data carriers
As the R8 enclosure can accommodate an unusually large number of hard drives, an additional large fan generates a constant flow of air inside to prevent heat build-up between the data carriers.

Anti-theft protection
The Kensington security slot on the side of the enclosure (also known as K-Slot or Kensington Lock) is used to prevent theft. Suitable security solutions in various designs are available in stores.

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.

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. Detailed information on compatible processors and graphics cards can also be found in the support list at http://global.shuttle.com.
