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.

• Install the latest drivers
Open the Intel NUC Chassis
To open the Intel NUC chassis, follow these steps:
1. Unscrew the four corner screws on the bottom cover of the chassis and lift the cover.
Installing and Removing Memory
Intel NUC Kits NUC5i3MYHE and NUC5i5MYHE have 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.

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.
Removing SO-DIMMs
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.
3. Remove the AC power cord from the computer.
4. Remove the computer’s cover.
5. Gently spread the retaining clips at each end of the SO-DIMM socket. The SO-DIMM pops out of
the socket.
6. Hold the SO-DIMM by the edges, lift it away from the socket, and store it in an anti-static
package.
7. Reinstall and reconnect any parts you removed or disconnected to reach the SO-DIMM sockets.
8. Replace the computer’s cover and reconnect the AC power cord.
Installing a 30mm M.2 Wireless Adapter
Only the following wireless adapters have been evaluated for regulatory compliance for use with the Intel
NUC Kits NUC5i3MYHE and NUC5i5MYHE in all regions:
Intel® Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260 + Bluetooth*
Intel® Dual Band Wireless-AC 7265 + Bluetooth*
Intel® Dual Band Wireless-AC 7265 (No vPro)
Intel® Dual Band Wireless-N 7265 + Bluetooth
Intel® Dual Band Wireless-N 7265
Intel® Wireless-N 7265 + Bluetooth
The operation of any other wireless adapter with Intel® NUC Kits NUC5i3MYHE and NUC5i5MYHE, other
than those listed above, may violate regulatory compliance requirements for your region.

CAUTION
When installing an M.2 wireless adapter on the Intel NUC, ensure that the adapter is fully seated in the
connector before you power on the system. If the adapter is not fully seated in the connector, an
electrical short may result across the connector pins. Depending on the over-current protection of the
power supply, certain Intel NUC components and/or traces may be damaged.
Follow these instructions to install a 30mm M.2 wireless adapter:
1. Observe the precautions in "Before You Begin" on page 2.
2. Remove the standoff from the 30mm position on the motherboard (A).
3. Align the small notch at the bottom edge of the wireless card with the key in the connector.
4. Insert the bottom edge of the wireless card into the connector (B).
