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 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. With a screwdriver unscrew the four corner screws on the bottom cover of the chassis and lift the
cover.
Installing and Removing Memory
Intel NUC Kits NUC7CJYH and NUC7PJYH have two 260-pin DDR4 SO-DIMM sockets. Be sure to select
memory modules that meet these requirements:
•1.2V low voltage memory
•2400 MHz SO-DIMMs
•Non-ECC
Find compatible memory modules in the Intel®Product Compatibility Tool:

NOTE
If you plan to install only one memory module, install it in the lower memory
socket.
To install 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.
4. Align the small space at the bottom edge of the memory module with the key in the socket.
5. Insert the bottom edge of the module at a 45 degree angle into the socket (A).
6. When the module is inserted, push down on the outer edge of module until the retaining
clips snap into place (B). Make sure the clips are firmly in place (C).
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 and disconnect
the power cord.
3. Remove the computer’s bottom chassis cover.
4. Gently spread the retaining clips at each end of the memory socket, which causes the module to
pop out of the socket (C).
5. Holding the module by the edges, lift it away from the socket, and store it in an anti-static package.
6. Reinstall and reconnect any parts you removed or disconnected to reach the memory sockets.
7. Replace the computer’s cover and reconnect the power cord.
Install a 2.5” SSD or Hard Drive
The Intel NUC Kits NUC7CJYH and NUC7PJYH support a 2.5” Solid State Drive (SSD) or Hard Disk Drive
(HDD).
