Proven performance, manageability, and reliability.Supports Intel® Core™2 Extreme Processor
 Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® processor

Intel’s Quad-Core Xeon processor is the world’s fastest desktop processor available. If you’re looking for professional 2D through high-end 3D graphics power, you should settle for no less than Intel’s Quad-Core line of processors. It is Intel’s latest and has raised the performance bar for personal computing. With Intel’s Multi-Core processors you’ll experience never-before-seen 2D and 3D visuals, cinema quality video and professional HD video editing capabilities.


PCI Express Gen 2.0 with ATI CrossFireX™ Technology
NVIDIA® Quadro® FX
Professional Graphics Solutions


NVIDIA® Quadro® FX professional graphics solutions, built on over a decade of innovation, are the chosen platform by professional designers, engineers, and scientist for visual computing. Based on the NVIDIA® CUDA™ architecture and fully certified on all industry-leading professional applications, Quadro FX solutions provide new capabilities in interactivity and visual quality with unmatched performance.

Up To 8GB of DDR3 Memory
Up To 8GB of DDR3 Memory


The XPC P2 4800 Workstation supports DDR3 memory that features data transfer rates of 1600/1333/1066/800 MHz to meet the higher bandwidth requirements of the latest operation system, 3D graphics, multimedia, and Internet applications. The dual-channel DDR3 architecture doubles the bandwidth of your system memory to boost system performance, eliminating bottlenecks with peak bandwidths of up to 17 GB/s. Furthermore, the supply voltage for the memory is reduced from 1.8 V for DDR2 to just 1.5 V for DDR3. This voltage reduction limits the power consumption and heat generation of DDR3 which makes it an ideal memory solution.
*64 bit OS required for the 8GB memory

 


Storage Flexibility

Up to 2.2TB of Internal Storage Capacity*:

Configurable with up to 3 hard drives, and up to 2.2 TB of Internal storage capacity*.
2.2TB hard drive capacity holds even the largest collections of movies, million songs and an entire lifetime of vacation photos. Use your XPC Prima P2 4800 Workstation to store all your digital media. All hard drive options run at a minimum of 7200rpm for higher performance and faster read and write speeds. Choose a RAID 0 configuration for increased performance and nearly double the drive to motherboard bandwidth, or pick RAID 1 with backup redundancy to keep those family photos extra safe.
*64 bit OS required for the 2.2TB storage capacity



ual Gigabit LAN with Teaming TechnologyDual Gigabit LAN with Teaming Technology


This model is featured with two Gigabit Ethernet Controllers which supports dual-LAN "Teaming" for "Load-balance" and "Fail-over" function. Teaming technology allows dual LAN to work together to provide up to twice the Ethernet bandwidth for transferring large amounts of data from home file servers to other PCs. In addition, it also provides network redundancy through fail-over capability to prevents network downtime by transferring the workload from a failed port to a working port.

 


7.1 Channel HD Audio
7.1 Channel HD Audio

The P2 4800 workstation features Intel HD Audio with breathtaking effects brought to you by 7.1 channel Dolby Digital Live! and DTS Connect designed to support the convergence of digital entertainment. Intel HD Audio specification delivers the features needed for an improved audio experience. Intel HD Audio is capable of delivering the support and sound quality for up to eight channels at 192 kHz/32-bit quality, while the AC’97 specification can only supports six channels at 48 kHz/20-bit. In addition, Intel HD Audio is architected to prevent the occasional glitches or pops that other audio solutions can have by providing dedicated system bandwidth for critical audio functions.

 

 

 

Extremely Innovative Technology

All Solid Capacitors Motherboard Design
All solid capacitors design is the new trend for Shuttle's motherboard and guaranteed to deliver maximum stability, reliability and longer system lifetime for the ultimate PC gaming and entertainment experience.

 


Built-in PCI Express Mini Card SlotBuilt-in PCI Express Mini Card Slot

PCI Express is the open standards- based successor to PCI and its variants for server- and client-system I/O interconnects. Unlike PCI and PCI-X, which are based on 32- and 64-bit parallel buses, PCI Express uses high-speed serial link technology similar to that found in Gigabit1 Ethernet, Serial ATA (SATA), and Serial-Attached SCSI (SAS). PCI Express reflects an industry trend to replace legacy shared parallel buses with high-speed point-to-point serial buses.

  • Serial Technology
    Provides scalable performance.
  • High Bandwidth
    Initially, 5-80 gigabits per second (Gb/s) peak theoretical bandwidth, depending on the implementation.
  • Point-to-Point Dedicated Link
    Point-to-point link dedicated to each device, instead of the PCI shared bus.
  • Lower Latency
    Opportunities for lower latency (or delay) in server architectures, because PCI Express provides a more direct connection to the chip set North Bridge than PCI-X.



Supports Optional Intel® Turbo Memory*
Intel® Turbo MemoryIntel Turbo Memory is a new primary PC component, along with the CPU, chipset, and system memory. It caches large amounts of frequently used data for faster access by the processor. This decreases the need for hard-disk access, saving both time and power, which equates to increased performance and energy efficiency.

That's good news for users who run data-intensive software like media applications. It's also a good match to the substantial system requirements to load and run Windows Vista.

Intel Turbo Memory is a single solution that accelerates data transfer both to and from the processor. Other commercially available products support only one-way data caching.

  • Reduce Boot time
    Faster access to boot-up files lets the system start up more quickly.
  • Improve Application Responsiveness
    Data coming from Intel Turbo memory instead of the hard drive increases access speed.
  • Accelerate Application Loading
    Fast access by the processor to information needed to launch applications cuts lag time.
  • Enhance Windows Vista
    Support for Windows Vista performance features like ReadyBoost*, ReadyDrive*, and Superfetch* helps you take better advantage of the operating system.
  • Save Energy
    Pre-storing information reduces hard-disk spin time, which saves power.

    *Available on Windows Vista 32 and 64-bit OS.


Biometric Fingerprint Reader
Available on Windows XP/Vista 32-bit OS only.
Fingerprint biometrics is a convenient and secure way to protect your information.With an added a layer of security protection through the integrated biometric fingerprint reader, you can keep your digital identity and data more secure and no longer worry about having to memorize for memorizing multiple passwords.


Innovative Speed-Link Technology

File sharing among 2 PCs has never been easier with the innovative USB Speed-Link technology, simply connects both systems through a standard USB cable without having the hassle of driver installation or worry about insufficient space of a DVD disc.


Seamless Connectivity

Enjoy the life of freedom without messy cords and cables, featuring WiFi 802.11b+g and Bluetooth functionality provide you the ease of connectivity to the Internet and peripherals.


Advance eSATA Support

The back panel provides two external Serial ATA ports and a power port. The included cables make it a snap to connect your external hard drive to your XPC. The Serial ATA interface is up to six times faster than USB 2.0/Firewire.

tom's hardware review Feb, 2009 Tom's hardware Review
"The Shuttle SX48P2 system has proven that it is a very fast system. It is not without flaws, but Shuttle definitely offered an extremely high-end machine that is not limited performance-wise by being a small form-factor (SFF) PC. "
     
     
Computer Shopper Review June, 2008 7.5/10 Rating – Computer Shopper
Computer Shopper has given a 7.5 rating to the Shuttle XPC SX48P2 Deluxe (P2 4800X Barebone). “Shuttle's XPC Prima SX48P2 Deluxe goes well beyond midway and virtually picks you up at your door. This bare-bones PC's support for the latest component technology and its above-average integrated extras make it a solid starting platform...”
