Before You Begin

CAUTIONS

The procedures in this user guide assume familiarity with the general terminology associated with

personal computers and with the safety practices and regulatory compliance required for using

and modifying electronic equipment.

Disconnect the computer from its power source and from any telecommunications link or network before

performing any of the procedures 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.

•Set up 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 is not available, you can provide some ESD protection by wearing an antistatic wrist

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

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:

•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.

Observe Safety and Regulatory Requirements

If you do not follow these instructions, you increase your safety risk and the possibility of

noncompliance with regional laws and regulations.

This guide tells you how to:

•Install an M.2 SSD

•Install and remove memory

•Install a 2.5” drive

•Install a VESA mount bracket

•Connect power

•Install an operating system

•Install the latest device drivers and software

Open the Intel NUC Chassis

To open the Intel NUC chassis, follow these steps:

1. Unscrew the four corner screws on the bottom cover of the chassis and lift the cover.

Install an M.2 SSD

Intel NUC Kits NUC7i7BNH, NUC7i5BNH, and NUC7i3BNH support 80mm and 42mm M.2 SSDs. For a list

of tested M.2 SSDs, go to the Tested Peripherals page on the Support site.

Observe the precautions in "Before You Begin" on page 2.

If you are installing an 80mm M.2 SSD:

1. Remove the small silver screw from the 80mm metal standoff on the motherboard (A).

Intel NUC Kit NUC7i7BNH, NUC7i5BNH & NUC7i3BNH User Guide

2. Remove the standoff from the 42mm position (B).

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

4. Insert the bottom edge of the M.2 card into the connector (C).

5. Secure the card to the standoff with the small silver screw (D).

If you are installing a 42mm M.2 SSD:

1. Remove the small silver screw from the 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).

Installing and Removing Memory

Intel NUC Kits NUC7i3BNH and NUC7i5BNH have two DDR4 SO-DIMM sockets. Memory requirements:

•1.2V memory

Intel NUC Kit NUC7i7BNH, NUC7i5BNH & NUC7i3BNH User Guide

•1866 MHz or 2133 MHz SO-DIMMs

•Non-ECC

For a list of tested memory, go to the System Memory page on the Support site.

Install SO-DIMMs

If you plan to install just one SO-DIMM, install it in the lower memory socket.

To install the SO-DIMMs, follow these steps:

1. Observe the precautions in "Before You Begin" on page 2.

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.

Removing SO-DIMMs

To remove a SO-DIMM, follow these steps:

1. Observe the precautions in "Before You Begin" on page 2.

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.

Install a 2.5” SSD or Hard Drive

Intel NUC Kit NUC7i7BNH, NUC7i5BNH & NUC7i3BNH User Guide

For a list of tested 2.5” hard drives, go to the Tested Peripherals page on the Support site.

Follow these instructions to install a 2.5” Solid State Drive (SSD) or Hard Disk Drive (HDD):

1. Observe the precautions in "Before You Begin" on page 2.

2. Slide the 2.5” drive into the drive bay, ensuring the SATA connectors are fully seated into the

connectors of the SATA daughter card (A).

3. Secure the drive into the drive bay with the two small silver screws that were included in the box.

4. Set the drive bay bracket down inside the chassis (B).

Close the Chassis

After all components have been installed, close the Intel NUC chassis. Intel recommends this be done by

hand with a screwdriver to avoid over-tightening and possibly damaging the screws.

Attach and Use the VESA Bracket (Optional)

Follow these instructions to attach and use the VESA mount bracket:

1. Attach the VESA bracket to the back of the monitor or TV, using the four small black screws that

were included in the box.

2. Attach the two slightly larger black screws to the bottom chassis cover of the Intel NUC.
