8-channel audio


The SN25P integrates the VIA Envy24PT multi-channel audio controller to deliver high-fidelity audio. Enabling 24-bit resolution and 96KHz sampling rates, the VIA Envy24PT provides support for the latest audio content through its analog and digital interfaces. Further, this model features 8-channel outputs enabling support for the latest Dolby Digital EX and DTS ES DVD-Video soundtracks.


 

Advanced I/O

Enclosed in the renowned P-chassis, this XPC is a masterpiece of integration and style. Beautifully integrated 8-in-1 card reader delivers exceptional storage and connectivity flexibility. With FireWireŽ 400, USB 2.0 and SPDIF digital audio I/O built-in, it's easy to connect all of your peripherals. Further, with Gigabit LAN built-in and optional 802.11g WLAN, the XPC SN25P offers a full palate of options to share your digital files - audio, video and pictures.

 


 

 
2 Silent X Technology

Integrated Silent X cooling and noise reduction technologies deliver optimized cooling for exceptional stability, comfort and reliability. Optimized cooling features, including programmable smart fans and best-of-class airflow, make the XPC SN25P ideal for use in any setting-home, office, dorm-because it's "Super Quiet, Super Cool."

Integrated Cooling Engine (ICE) Module

Redesigned for the P-chassis, the 4G Integrated Cooling Engine (ICE) in this model is based on the same concept that made the first XPC's a consumer success. The ICE heat-pipe module uses convection cooling to transfer heat away from the processor. Copper tubing, coated in nickel and filled with distilled water of specific pH provides the conduit through which heat passes to a radiator and is dissipated out of the system. A quiet, speed controlled 80mm ducted fan covers the radiator, providing both processor cooling and case exhaust. Improving on the standard ICE module that's a part of earlier XPC's, the P-series ICE module uses two fans in push-pull mode to more efficiently pass cool air over the ICE radiators fins. This makes it possible to deliver up to 50CFM. Further, both fans are PWM spec-which delivers finely tunable, linear fan speed control-and controllable in BIOS.

350 Watt Power Supply

Customize your XPC with the latest high-end components and still have power to spare. Featuring a 350W PSU--100 Watts more than previous PSUs-- this XPC is powerful and quiet. Tested in our acoustic lab from a distance of 50cm-to create an environment similar to actual usage (many competitors take measurements at 1M)-the Shuttle Silent X 350W PSU in the XPC SN25P operates at just 27dB under normal load.

Airflow

Three independent cooling zones-CPU, HDD and Case-ensure that cool air is delivered to critical components.

The airflow in the P-chassis features several different intake points designed to keep cool air continually and evenly flowing over critical components, as opposed to recirculating warm, stale air. For more information and illustrations of the XPC SN25P's airflow system, visit: http://sys.us.shuttle.com/ModelsP_4.aspx# Further, the underside of the P-chassis has more air intake points designed to keep the motherboard cool and stable. The underside edge is lined with intake points. Other intake points are also located on the underside of the machine to improve motherboard cooling.

Smart Fan

Smart Fan incorporates linear control metrics to provide optimal cooling. Under normal conditions, Smart Fan keeps fan speed low, minimizing acoustic noise. When the load increases, Smart Fan increases fan speed to provide optimal cooling. Users can customize Shuttle's Smart Fan settings to precisely match their desired temperature and fan speed metrics.

Damping

Mechanical damping is a simple yet highly-effective technique to reduce the overall noise of the XPC SN25P. The four rubber dampers integrated into this advanced SFF computer are designed to reduce the vibration of installed, third-party components, such as optical and hard drives, by absorbing energy produced by these components-a simple and cost-effective method that produces remarkable results.

 


 

 

 
3 P Chassis

Stealth drive doors

The P's clean facia is thanks to three well-integrated stealth bay covers. The optical drive, floppy drive and front media ports can all be hidden from view when not in use providing superior style and visual appeal.

Internal design innovation

The redesigned internal structure of the P-chassis allows for three 3.5-inch drives and one 5.25-inch drive. The internal drive rack offers space for one 3.5-inch and one 5.25-inch drive with the other bays located in the top portion of the chassis. The rack's 3.5-inch bay can be used to install a FDD or a legacy HDD if desired, making the P-chassis incredibly expandable and flexible.

 

Toolless drive installation

The Piece de la Resistance of the P-chassis are its toolless drive mounting brackets. New to the XPC, these brackets make installing drives a breeze. Further, installation of a HDD in the rack mount requires no brackets whatsoever; just drop the HDD in the rack (four-pins in the bottom of the rack and compression clips hold the drive securely in place). Refer to the manual for instructions on using these mounting brackets.

Integrated cable management

all been pre-installed and clipped in place. All you need to do is add the components and you have a powerful and tidy machine.


 

8-in-1 Card Reader

A standard feature in the P-chassis, this card reader features support for eight standard memory formats and provides transfer rates of up to 480Mb/s (USB 2.0). Supported format include; Compact Flash I (CF I), Compact Flash II (CF II), IBM Microdrive (MD), Smart Media Card (SM/SMC), Secure Digital card (SD), Multi Media Card (MMC), Memory Stick (MS), Memory Stick Pro (MSP).
