Others/All-in-one PC by stefan @ 2013-03-04
The DS61 is a nice little barebone from Shuttle, which supports both Ivy Bridge and Sandy Bridge CPUs and besides the CPU, it only needs some RAM (SO-DIMM) and a storage drive (HDD/SSD) in order to operate. The barebone is also shipped with a VESA mount for added value and the preinstalled CPU cooler is enhanced for better cooling, sporting two heatpipes and is ventilated by a dual-fan system.
In a quite cramped space, we’ll see the headers for the Front Panel Connectors, the COM port jumpers, two COM ports, 4x USB 2.0 ports, the Audio connectors and the LPC header:
Near them we’ll also find the BIOS chip and the LVDS connector:
Two SATA ports are present on the board, along with the SATA power connector:
In the same area we will find the mSATA port:
The CMOS battery is encapsulated and connected to the motherboard via cable:
On the front side we’ll find the separate PCBs for the LEDs, buttons and the card reader:
2x SO-DIMM slots are provided for installing a maximum of 16GB DDR3:
The H61 chipset is covered by a smaller heatsink:
Before mounting the CPU, we must check for bent pins and then attach it carefully inside the socket:
