Shuttle DL40N: A New Standard for Fanless Mini PCs

The Shuttle DL40N marks a significant advancement in compact business computing, building on the legacy of the popular DL30N. Designed for demanding environments such as industry, retail, and office settings, the DL40N introduces the efficient Intel "Twin Lake-N" platform, DDR5 memory support, and dual 2.5 Gbit LAN connectivity. This 1.35-liter fanless system is engineered for modern network infrastructures and reliable 24/7 operation.

Efficient Performance with Intel Twin Lake-N and DDR5

At the core of the DL40N is the Intel N150 processor, featuring four cores and Turbo speeds up to 3.6 GHz. With a remarkably low thermal design power (TDP) of just 6 watts, this processor delivers a strong balance between performance and energy efficiency. The DL40N is among the first in its class to support DDR5-4800 RAM, accommodating up to 16 GB for enhanced data processing and multitasking capabilities.

The fanless, passively cooled design ensures completely silent operation when paired with an SSD. With no moving parts, the system is virtually maintenance-free and resistant to dust accumulation, making it ideal for continuous use in sensitive environments.

Advanced Connectivity for Modern Networks

Network connectivity is a standout feature of the DL40N. Equipped with two Intel 2.5 Gbps LAN ports (i226-LM), the system provides high-speed data transfer and redundancy for mission-critical client/server applications. This makes it a strong choice for IT projects requiring robust and reliable networking.

The DL40N also offers extensive peripheral support with eight USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports—four on the front and four on the rear—allowing for flexible device integration in a compact footprint.

Triple Display Support and Industrial Interfaces

Designed for versatility, the DL40N can drive up to three independent displays simultaneously via HDMI 2.0b, DisplayPort 1.4a, and VGA outputs. This capability is ideal for digital signage, wayfinding systems, and complex machine control applications. For industrial use, the system includes two serial COM ports (RS-232/422/485) with switchable auxiliary voltage (5 V/12 V), supporting a wide range of legacy and modern equipment.

Engineered for 24/7 Reliability

The DL40N is officially certified for continuous 24/7 operation. A dedicated hardware solution for "Power-On-after-Power-Fail" ensures the system automatically restarts after a power outage, providing maximum uptime for critical applications. The device supports both 12-volt and 19-volt power supplies, offering flexibility for various deployment scenarios.
