1.0 Introduction
This User Guide provides step-by-step installation instructions for these products:
•Intel® NUC 13 Pro Kit NUC13ANHv7
•Intel® NUC 13 Pro Kit NUC13ANHi7
•Intel® NUC 13 Pro Kit NUC13ANHv5
•Intel® NUC 13 Pro Kit NUC13ANHi5
•Intel® NUC 13 Pro Kit NUC13ANHi3
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:
•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.

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.
