User Guide –January 2021

1.0 Introduction

This User Guide provides step-by-step installation instructions for these products:

•Intel® NUC Kit NUC11PAQi7

•Intel® NUC Kit NUC11PAQi5

1.1 Before You Begin

CAUTIONS

The steps in this guide assume you’re familiar with computer terminology and

with the safety practices and regulatory compliance required for using and

modifying computer equipment.

Disconnect the computer from its power source and from any network before

performing any of the steps described in this guide.

Failure to disconnect power, telecommunications links, or networks before you open

the computer or perform any procedures can result in personal injury or equipment

damage. Some circuitry on the board can continue to operate even though the front

panel power button is off.

Follow these guidelines before you begin:

•Always follow the steps in each procedure in the correct order.

•Create a log to record information about your computer, such as model,

serial numbers, installed options, and configuration information.

•Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage components. Perform the

procedures described in this chapter only at an ESD workstation using an

antistatic wrist strap and a conductive foam pad. If such a station isn’t

available, you can provide some ESD protection by wearing an antistatic wrist

strap and attaching it to a metal part of the computer chassis.

1.2 Installation Precautions

When you install and test the Intel NUC, observe all warnings and cautions in the

installation instructions.

To avoid injury, be careful of:

NUC11PAQi7, NUC11PAQi5

User Guide –January 2021

•Sharp pins on connectors

•Sharp pins on circuit boards

•Rough edges and sharp corners on the chassis

•Hot components (such as SSDs, processors, voltage regulators, and heat sinks)

•Damage to wires that could cause a short circuit

Observe all warnings and cautions that instruct you to refer computer servicing

to qualified technical personnel.

1.3 Observe Safety and Regulatory Requirements

If you don’t follow these instructions, you increase your safety risk and the possibility

of noncompliance with regional laws and regulations.

3.0 Install and Remove System Memory

Intel NUC Kits NUC11PAQi7, NUC11PAQi5 have two 260-pin DDR4 SO-DIMM

memory slots

Memory requirements:

•1.2V low voltage memory

•3200 MHz SO-DIMMs

•Non-ECC

Find compatible system memory modules at the Intel® Product Compatibility Tool:

•NUC11PAQi7

•NUC11PAQi5

3.1 Install SO-DIMMs

NOTE

If you plan to install only one memory module, install it in the lower

memory socket.

To install the SO-DIMMs, follow these steps:

1. Observe the precautions in "Before You Begin" in Section 1.1.

2. Turn off all peripheral devices connected to the computer. Turn off the

computer and disconnect the AC power cord.

3. Align the small notch at the bottom edge of the SO-DIMM with the key in

the socket.

4. Insert the bottom edge of the SO-DIMM into the socket.

5. When the SO-DIMM is inserted, push down on the outer edge of the

SO-DIMM until the retaining clips snap into place. Make sure the clips

are firmly in place.

3.2 Remove SO-DIMMs

To remove a SO-DIMM, follow these steps:

1. Observe the precautions in "Before You Begin" in Section 1.1.

2. Turn off all peripheral devices connected to the computer. Turn off the

computer.

3. Remove the AC power cord from the computer.

4. Remove the computer’s cover.

5. Gently spread the retaining clips at each end of the SO-DIMM socket. The

SO-DIMM pops out of the socket.

6. Hold the SO-DIMM by the edges, lift it away from the socket, and

store it in an anti-static package.

7. Reinstall and reconnect any parts you removed or disconnected to reach the

SO-DIMM sockets.

8. Replace the computer’s cover and reconnect the AC power cord.

4.0 Install an M.2 SSD or Intel® Optane™ Memory

Module

Intel NUC Kits NUC11PAQi7, NUC11PAQi5 support 80mm and 42mm SSDs.

Find compatible M.2 SSDs at the Intel® Product Compatibility Tool:

•NUC11PAQi7

•NUC11PAQi5

If you’re installing an 80mm M.2 SSD:

1. Remove the small silver screw from the 80mm metal standoff on the

motherboard (A).

2. Align the small notch at the bottom edge of the M.2 card with the key in the

connector.

3. Insert the bottom edge of the M.2 card into the connector (B).

4. Secure the card to the standoff with the small silver screw (C).
