1.0 Introduction
This User Guide provides step-by-step installation instructions for these products:
Intel® NUC Kit NUC5i3RYHSN
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

NUC5i3RYHSN
User Guide –October 2018
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.

3.0 Upgrade System Memory
Intel NUC Kits NUC5i3RYHSN have two 204-pin DDR4 SO-DIMM memory slots
Pre-installed with 4 GB 1600 MHz SDRAM SO-DIMM (1.35V)
To upgrade memory, be sure to select memory modules that meet these
requirements:
1.35V low voltage memory
1600 MHz SO-DIMMs
Non-ECC
Find compatible system memory modules at the Intel® Product Compatibility Tool:
NUC5i3RYHSN
NOTE
If you plan to install only one memory module, install it in the lower
memory socket.
3.1 Upgrade to Different Memory
1. Observe the precautions in "Before You Begin" in Section 1.1.
2. Turn off all peripheral devices connected to the computer.
3. Turn off the computer and disconnect the power cord.
4. Remove the computer’s bottom chassis cover.
5. Remove the pre-installed memory module
a. Gently spread the retaining clips at each end of the memory socket, which
causes the module to pop out of the socket (C).
b. Holding the module by the edges, lift it away from the socket, and
store it in an anti-static package.
6. Install the new memory module
a. Align the small space at the bottom edge of the memory module
with the key in 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).

3.2 Install Additional Memory
1. Observe the precautions in "Before You Begin" in Section 1.1.
2. Turn off all peripheral devices connected to the computer.
3. Turn off the computer and disconnect the power cord.
4. Remove the computer’s bottom chassis cover.
5. Install the additional 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).
6. Reinstall and reconnect any parts you removed or disconnected to reach the

4.0 Change the M.2 SSD
Intel NUC Kits NUC5i3RYHSN support 80mm, 60mm and 42mm SSDs.
Find compatible M.2 SSDs in the Intel Product Compatibility Tool:
NUC5i3RYHSN
To install a 80mm M.2 SSD:
1. Remove the small silver screw from the 80mm 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).
To install a 60mm or 42mm M.2 SSD:
1. Remove the small silver screw from the metal standoff on the motherboard (A).
2. Move the standoff (B) from the 80mm position to either the 60mm or 42mm
position (C).
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 (D).
5. Secure the card to the standoff with the small silver screw (E).
