USER MANUAL NUC5I7RYHR INTEL

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.

Installing and Removing Memory

The Intel NUC Kit NUC5i7RYH has two 204-pin DDR3L SO-DIMM sockets. Memory requirements:

• 1.35V low voltage memory
• 1333 MHz or 1600 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.

Intel NUC Kit NUC5i7RYH User Guide

1. Turn off all peripheral devices connected to the computer. Turn off the computer and disconnect the AC power cord.

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

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

3. 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.
