Expansion kit for Shuttle slim PCs to install an LTE/4G card
The Shuttle XPC accessory WWN03 allows compabitle Shuttle XPC slim Barebones to be upgraded with an LTE/4G function for mobile networks. The LTE card will occupy the 2.5″ bay, so you have to use an M.2 SSD as a mass storage device.

Can WLAN and LTE/4G be used simultaneously

DS10U/DS20U Series

The DS10U/DS20U standard product comes with two external WLAN antennas mounted on the back. Two additional antennas can be mounted on the side if the device stands in a horizontal position (no rubber feet!) or is VESA mounted. If the DS10Ux is operated in a vertical position with the stand, you cannot install an antenna at the bottom side. This means only 3 antennas can be used for WLAN and LTE in total (either LTE or WLAN will have to work with one antenna only).

DH4xx/DH6xx Series

With the DH4xx/DH6xx series, a maximum of two external antennas can be installed on the back panel. The optional extensions for WLAN (accessory WLN-M) and LTE/4G (accessory WWN03) are each equipped with two antennas and should therefore not be installed at the same time if you want to use the full performance. The WLAN and LTE/4G accessories can also be installed and used at the same time with only one antenna each if you accept the lower radio performance.

Compatible SIM cards

The SIM card is used to identify your mobile phone in a mobile network. SIM cards have been shrunk over the years: The Mini standard has been superseded by Micro and Nano. The Shuttle XPC accessory WWN03 only supports the Nano format. A new SIM card usually comes perforated in three sizes (Mini, Micro, and Nano) and simply requires the desired format to be pressed out.

Installations

DS10U

Quick Guide to Install the Accessory WWN03 into the XPC DS10U
Due to safety reasons, please turn off your computer completely first and unplug it from the power supply.

1. Unscrew the two screws of the chassis cover. Slide the cover backward and upwards.

2. Unfasten the rack mount screw and remove the rack, then unscrew the ten screws of the middle frame and remove it.

3. Use a 6mm screwdriver to puncture the perforated hole in the middle frame from the outside in. Once the screwdriver passes through the perforation, carefully remove the metal tag.
   Caution: If the metal tag still does not detach, carefully bend it by pushing down from the inside of the middle frame.

4. Take out the two antenna cable connectors and remove the locks and protective sleeves.

5. Then install the antenna cable connectors through the appropriate opening in the middle frame and use the lock to affix the antenna from the outside.
   Caution: When leading the cable connector through the opening, check the socket alignment and only push horizontally. DO NOT turn or twist the cable. Should any difficulties occur, make sure the surface is clean. Finally, check the alignment again and carefully apply more force.

6. Replace the middle frame, then fasten the ten screws. As shown, place the daughterboard (LN006) in the chassis and fasten the three screws.

7. Then connect the USB cable.

8. Please install an LTE module (M.2-3042 Key B card) in the relevant slot on the daughterboard, then tighten the screw with bolt firmly.

9. As shown, connect the two antenna cables to “MAIN” and “AUX” on your LTE module.

10. Note: If the DS10U is operated in a vertical position with the stand, you cannot install an antenna at the bottom side. This means only 3 antennas can be used for WLAN and LTE in total (either LTE or WLAN will have to work with one antenna only).

11. Replace the case cover and fasten its screws.
    Screw the antennas into position as pictured. Make sure they are aligned vertically to achieve the best possible signal reception.

DH4xx Series

Quick Guide to Install the Accessory WWN03 into the XPC DH4xx Series
Due to safety reasons, please turn off your computer completely first and unplug it from the power supply.

1. Unscrew the two screws of the chassis cover. Slide the cover backward and upwards.
2. Unfasten the screws of the cooling system (left) and the drive rack (right). Please also refer the Quick Guide of the Shuttle DH4xx.
3. Locate the two holes for the LTE antennas. Use a screwdriver to puncture the perforated holes from the outside in (see left). Once the screwdriver passes through the perforation, carefully remove the metal tag. Then install the antenna cable connectors through the appropriate openings and use the locks to affix the antennas from the outside.
4. As shown, place the daughterboard (LN006) on the drive rack and fasten it with three screws. Then connect the daughterboard with the 150 mm USB cable to the onboard USB connector “CN12” of the mainboard. Please install an LTE module (M.2-3042 Key B card) in the relevant M.2 slot on the daughterboard, then tighten the screw with the bolt firmly. Please insert your Nano SIM card into the relevant slot. LTE module and SIM card must be purchased separately.
5. As shown, connect the two antenna cables to “MAIN” and “AUX” on your LTE module.
6. Replace the cooling system, drive rack, and case cover and fasten its screws. Screw the antennas into position as pictured. Make sure they are aligned vertically to achieve the best possible signal reception.
