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 or networks before you open the computer or perform any procedures can

result in personal injury and/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.

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 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.

Upgrade System Memory

The Intel NUC Kits NUC7i5DNKPU have two 260-pin DDR4 SO-DIMM sockets, pre-installed with two

4GB DDR4 2133 MHz SO-DIMM.

To upgrade memory, be sure to select memory modules that meet these requirements:

•2133 MHz SO-DIMMs

•Non-ECC

User Guide for NUC7i5DNKPU

Find compatible memory modules in the Intel Product Compatibility Tool:

•NUC7i5DNKPU

NOTE

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

socket.

To upgrade or add memory, 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 power cord.

3. Remove the computer’s bottom chassis cover.

Upgrade to different memory

a. Remove the pre-installed memory module

i. Gently spread the retaining clips at each end of the memory socket, which causes

the module to pop out of the socket (C).

ii. Holding the module by the edges, lift it away from the socket, and store it

in an anti-static package.

b. Install the new memory module

i. Align the small space at the bottom edge of the memory module with the

key in the socket.

ii. Insert the bottom edge of the module at a 45 degree angle into the socket

(A).

iii. When the module is inserted, push down on the outer edges of the

module until the retaining clips snap into place (B). Make sure the clips

are firmly in place (C).

Install an additional memory module

a. Align the small space at the bottom edge of the memory module with the key on the

socket.

b. Insert the bottom edge of the module at a 45 degree angle into the socket (A).

c. When the module is inserted, push down on the outer edges of the module until

the retaining clips snap into place (B). Make sure the clips are firmly in place (C).

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

sockets.

e. Replace the computer’s cover and reconnect the power cord.

Changing an M.2 SSD or Intel® Optane™ Memory Module

The Intel NUC Kits NUC7i5DNKPU support an 80mm or 42mm SSD, pre-installed with one 256GB

Intel® SSD.

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

•NUC7i5DNKPU

NOTE

Before changing the Intel Optane memory module, it needs to be disabled. Follow

Removing Intel Optane Memory on this page first, before taking the module out.

To Change an M.2 SSD:

1. Remove the small silver screw from the 80mm or 42mm metal standoff on the board (A).

2. Remove the pre-installed SSD/Intel Optane Memory from the connector.

3. Align the space at the bottom of the new M.2 SSD to the key on the connector.

4. Insert the bottom edge of the M.2 SSD into the connector (B).

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

User Guide for NUC7i5DNKPU

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. Using the four small black screws that were included in the box, attach the VESA bracket to the

back of the monitor or TV.

•Apps from the Windows Store are kept.

•Apps installed from disks or websites are removed.

•List of removed apps is saved on the desktop.

Reset

If you want to recycle your PC, give it away, or start over with it, you can reset it

completely. This process removes everything. Reset does the following:

•All personal files and apps are removed.

•PC settings are changed back to their defaults.

•Windows is reinstalled.

User Guide for NUC7i5DNKPU

Restore

If a recently installed app or driver is causing problems with your PC, you can

restore Windows back to an earlier point in time, called a restore point. System

Restore doesn’t change your personal files, but it can remove recently installed

apps and drivers.

Caution - Before performing a Refresh or Reset:

•Make sure to back up all personal data to external storage.

•Remove SD card from the card slot, if one is inserted.

To access the recovery media:

If Windows starts

From Windows Start, type Recovery and select Recovery Options.

See Recovery options in Windows 10 for complete details on how

to use the recovery options.

If Windows doesn’t start

The recovery process should automatically start. If Recovery

doesn’t automatically start, you can try to initiate it as follows:
