The device has the Intel H81 chipset onboard and features two DisplayPorts, an HDMI connector, 2x Gigabit Ethernet and also offers two serial RS-232 interfaces for device control (1x switchable to RS-422/RS-485).

Also on the rear panel there is a "remote Power-On" connector. And if you want the DS81 to switch on automatically as soon as it is connected to a power source, an "Always-On" jumper is available on the mainboard.

In addition to powerful processors, up to 16 GB DDR3 memory and an internal 2.5" drive (SSD/HDD) with SATA 6 Gbit/s can be fitted in the DS81. Two Mini-PCI Express expansion slots are available for additional cards, e.g. Wireless LAN or mSATA-SSD.

On the front panel of the device there s a card reader for SD memory cards, along with eight USB ports (both USB 3.0 and USB 2.0).

The DS81 can be operated horizontally or verticallya and comes supplied with a VESA mount for installation to monitors.

The recommended price for the Shuttle DS81 is EUR 179.00 (ex VAT).
