A forum for Shuttle PC?

Hey does anyone know of a forum for shuttle PC's? Well, or does anyone here own one that can help me?

The shuttle site's community section for forums is hilarous. They's five links and are either broken, or the forum is in german haha:

So I googled around to find one... there used to be one... some weird name, starts with an s, and it was english but I can't find it anymore.

thanks,

rw

Best I can do for you. I have one in pieces under my work bench that I rob parts off of.

Good Luck with it.

The forum you were looking for was probably Sudhian Forums. IIRC it was never a shuttle forum, it was actually a SFF (small form factor) forum back 'in the day' when SFF was much less well known than now. Its been dead for a few years now.

*Edit- I believe that a fair portion of the old Sudhian forums users moved over to the anandtech forums. I wouldnt bother trying to track them down, anything yuo can get there you can get on most/all the good PC hardware forums.

Personally I've never seen much use in manufacturer specific forums, even for big manufacturers. Why do you want a shuttle forum in particular?

The reason is that I have three SD11G5's. They're perfect for servers because they run a very low powered processor, have bays for 3.5 inch drives. With one drive in them they'll only consume 33 watts of power. Oh, and of course, they're small.

Problem I'm having is that I can't get one of them to talk to a display so I can get into bios.

Anyway, that's the reason, thanks,

rw

plug in another video card in one of the open slots and try that?

Remove the OS disk then spend hours hitting likely BIOS-selecting combinations?
After all the "Shuttle" PC is a PC with BIOS from a major vendor in a standards-compliant format.

I wouldnt call a old pentium M system 'perfect for servers' and while they were pretty low power consumption for the time, compared to current machines they are use a fair bit of power (for example current intel 'skylake' of 'kaby lake' systems can idle well under 30 watts with a decent PSU).

But if you've got 'em use 'em.

The BIOS key should be DEL on the shuttle systems. If you've having issues getting into the BIOS, try hitting DEL repeatedly but not too fast (about 2 strikes per second). If that doesnt work, try the weird BIOS entry key combo used by some shuttles (CTL + ATL + ESC). Also its possible that you will not be able to enter the BIOS with a USB keyboard.

But I'm guessing from the 'can't get one of them to talk to a display' that you've got no issues with the right keys, its just display. In that case, check the VGA jumper (very, very, Very uncommon to have a jumper to set for if there is an installed video card but this is one of them). Its a block jumper labeled J1.

I hope that helps.
