The DL40N is equipped with the Intel Processor N150 (Alder Lake-N / Twin Lake-N). It features 4 cores, 4 threads, and a burst frequency of up to 3.6 GHz with a very low TDP of only 6 Watts.
No, the DL40N uses a completely fanless heatpipe cooling system. This makes it ideal for noise-sensitive environments and reduces maintenance, as there are no moving parts that could fail or accumulate dust.
The system features one SO-DIMM slot and supports a maximum of 16 GB DDR5-4800 (PC5-38400) memory. Note that only 1.1V modules are supported.
The internal 2.5-inch drive bay supports SSDs or HDDs with a maximum height of 9.5 mm. Drives with a thickness of 12.5 mm or 15 mm are physically not compatible with the DL40N chassis.
The M.2-2280M slot supports both SATA and NVMe (PCIe Gen 3.0 x2) SSDs. While PCIe 4.0 SSDs can be installed, they will operate at PCIe 3.0 x2 speeds due to the processor's architecture.
The Shuttle DL40N features a dedicated Clear CMOS button located on the back panel. This allows for a quick hardware reset to factory defaults without having to open the device or use internal jumpers.
The JP2 header (4-pin, 2.54 mm pitch) is designed for external system control and integration. The pin assignment is as follows:
| Pin | Function |
|---|---|
| Pin 1 | External Power Button |
| Pin 2 | Clear CMOS function |
| Pin 3 | Ground (GND) |
| Pin 4 | +5V DC output (max. 500mA) |
The BIOS settings will be restored to factory defaults.
The system supports up to three independent displays simultaneously via HDMI 2.0b, DisplayPort 1.4a, and the analog VGA (D-Sub) port.
Yes, the device is officially approved for 24/7 permanent operation. To ensure maximum stability, the use of specialized 24/7-rated storage media is highly recommended.
The system includes a VESA mount (75×75 mm and 100×100 mm). Optionally, a stand for vertical operation (PS02) and a DIN-Rail kit (PV01) for industrial rack mounting are available.
The DL40N is designed for an ambient temperature range of 0 °C to 40 °C. Ensure sufficient airflow, especially when the device is mounted behind a display or in a confined space.
Yes, both LAN ports are equipped with Intel i226-LM controllers, which support speeds of 10, 100, 1000, and 2500 Mbps (2.5G). This provides significantly higher bandwidth for network-intensive applications compared to standard Gigabit LAN.
The left serial port (COM1) is multi-functional. You can switch its mode from standard RS232 to RS422 or RS485 directly within the BIOS setup. The right port (COM2) is limited to RS232 only.
Yes, the DC input of the DL40N is flexible. It supports external power sources with either 12V (±5%) or 19V (±5%). This makes it highly suitable for automotive applications or integration into existing 12V industrial power grids.
Yes. In addition to the BIOS “Restore on AC Power Loss” setting, there is a physical jumper labeled JP1. If you remove this jumper, the system will unconditionally start as soon as power is supplied, which is the most reliable “Always-On” solution for remote installations.
Yes, Shuttle offers an optional LTE kit (WWN03). This kit includes an adapter card, internal cables, and two external antennas. Please note that installing the WWN03 kit occupies the space of the 2.5-inch drive bay, meaning you can only use an M.2 SSD for storage.
Yes, the supplied accessories include two specific thermal pads:
It is highly recommended to install these to ensure stable performance in the fanless chassis.
No, the analog VGA (D-Sub) connector does not support the Hot-Plug feature. To ensure the display is correctly detected, the monitor should be connected before the system is powered on.
