Shuttle XPC slim Barebone DL20N6 Review

Others/All-in-one PC by stefan @ 2021-12-20

The DL20N series from Shuttle is an impressive jump in performance versus the older DL10J, while the choice to have installed a Pentium N6005 4-core SKU while retaining the 10W TDP is great! The whole system is passively cooled, so it is virtually noiseless if we do install only SSDs as storage devices. We have found that using the chassis horizontally is not stellar for the nearby M.2 SSD, because it tends to share a bit of heat from the Intel SoC heatsink, but in vertical position the issue is fully solved so purchasing the vertical stand is a must in our book!

Packaging, A Closer Look Part I

Shuttle has recently launched another interesting fanless XPC slim barebone, which can be picked up in two different flavors: the DL20N with Celeron N4505 but also the DL20N6 sporting the Pentium Silver N6005. Both processors take part of the Jasper Lake generation from Intel, have a TDP limited to 10W and come with dual channel DDR4 SODIMM memory support. The DL20N series is a successor to the DL10J which was launched in 2018, so we do expect quite a bit of performance and other improvements.

 

The product has arrived inside a familiar-looking cardboard enclosure, which shows a simple drawing of the barebone:

 

 

 

On one of the sides, a large sticker is attached with the product specifications:

 

 

 

The inside contents are carefully protected with lots of foam material:

 

 

 

Besides the main barebone product, we will also receive some documentation inside a transparent plastic envelope, but also some hardware bundle:

 

 

 

The documentation comes with detailed drawings and explanations in order transform this into a fully functional system:

 

 

 

The VESA mount installation instructions are separate:

 

 

 

Let’s look at the rest of the bundle as well!

 

 

 

Shuttle has included a power lead, the power adapter, the VESA mount components, four sets of screws but also an installation DVD:

 

 

 

The power adapter is very compact, thanks to the low consumption of the entire system:

 

 

 

On its frontal side we will note a status LED:
