Getting Started
Step One - Connect Your Display To get started, connect your monitor cable to your display and then connect to either the HDMI or one of the two DisplayPorts found on your NUC.
The HDMI port supports standard, enhanced, or high definition video, plus multi-channel digital audio on a single cable. The port is compatible with all ATSCV and DVB HDTV standards and supports eight full range channels at 24-bit/96 KHz audio of lossless audio formats such as Dolby* TrueHD or DTS* HD Master Audio. The DisplayPort is designed to support connections between PCs and monitors, projectors, and TV displays. It is suitable for display connections between consumer electronics devices such as high definition optical disc players, set top boxes, and TV displays.
Multiple DisplayPort and HDMI configurations feature the following:
• Two independent displays
• Single HDMI 1.4a with 1080P support
• Single DisplayPort 1.2 with 4K support
• Collage Display

Make sure you are connected to the Internet.
1. Go to the appropriate page on the web.
2. Follow the instructions for downloading the application.
3. Download and install the application.
4.
Installing Programs from a USB Thumb drive
To install Software Applications from a USB thumb drive onto your Xi3 NUC, take the following steps.
Insert the USB thumb drive into an open USB port on the back of your Xi3 NUC.
1. Within the Operating System, highlight the Software Applications you wish to install onto your Xi3 NUC.
2. Follow the Operating System instructions and install the Software Applications to your Xi3 NUC hard drive.
3.
Installing Programs from a DVD/CD
To install Software Applications from a DVD or CD onto your Xi3 NUC, take the following steps.
Connect an external DVD/CD drive to your Xi3 NUC (typically through an available USB port).

2. Within the Operating System, highlight the Software Applications you wish to install onto your Xi3 NUC.
3. Follow the Operating System instructions and install the Software Applications to your Xi3 NUC hard drive.
4.
Copying Existing Files to the Xi3 NUC from an Older PC
If you have files, photos, videos or other forms of data on your existing computer that you would like to move onto your Xi3 NUC several ways to accomplish this. If you have a lot of files to copy and you have access to a DVD
or CD burner, you can copy these files onto

You will be installing files instead of “programs.” free, or for a nominal fee, that can be installed onto your Xi3 NUC and will walk you through the file transfer process step by step.
There are also numerous software applications that are
If you have only a few files to copy, however, you may choose to email the files to yourself as this is often the easiest way to move files from one computer to another. Simply send an email to yourself from your old computer and attach the files you want to that email.
.
Then open the email on your Xi3 NUC and save the files onto your new Xi3 NUC
Once you have successfully booted-up/turned-on your Xi3 NUC and have installed and/or transferred all of the Software Applications and files/data onto your new machine, you’re ready to start using your new Xi3 NUC.

System Memory
Dual-Channel DDR3 with two connectors for 1600/1333/1066 MHz memory support (16GB max). Integrated memory configurations available through Xi3 include 4GB (1x4GB), 8GB (2x4GB), 8GB (1x8GB) and 16GB (2x8GB).
The board has two 204-pin SO-DIMM sockets and support the following memory features:
• 1.5V DDR3 SDRAM SO-DIMMs with gold plated contacts
• Support for 1.35 V Low Voltage DDR3 (new JEDEC specification)
• Two independent mem or y channels with interleaved mode support
• Unbuffered, single-sided or double-sided SO-DIMMs
• 16GB maximum total system memory (with 4Gb memory technology)
• Minimum recommended total system memory: 1024MB
• Non-ECC SO-DIMMs
• Serial Presence Detect
• DDR3 1600 MHz and DDR3 1333 MHz SDRAM SO-DIMMs
Memory Configurations
The processor supports the following types of memory configurations:
• Dual Channel (Interleaved) mode. This mode offers the highest throughput for real world applications. Dual channel mode is enabled when the installed memory capacities of both SO-DIMM channels are equal. Technology and device width can vary from one channel to the other but the installed memory capacity for each channel must be equal. If different speed SO-DIMMs are used between channels, the slowest memory timing will be used.
• Single channel (Asymmetric) mode. This mode is equivalent to single channel bandwidth operation for real world applications. This mode is used when only a single SO-DIMM is installed or the memory capacities are unequal. Technology and device width can vary from one channel to the other. If different speed SO-DIMMs are used between channels, the slowest memory timing will be used.
Graphics
All Xi3 NUCs support graphics through Intel® HD Graphics. The Intel® HD graphics controller features the following:
• 3D Features
− DirectX* 10.1 and OpenGL* 3.0 compliant
− DirectX* 11.0 CS4.0 only
− Shader Model 4.0
• Video
− High-Definition content at up to 1080p resolution
− Hardware accelerated MPE G -2, VC-1/WMV and H.264/AVC Hi-Definition video formats
− Intel® HD Technology and Advanc e d Hard ware Vi deo Transcoding
− Blu-ray S3D via HDMI 1.4a
− Dynamic Video Memory Technology (DVMT) 5.0 support
− Support of up to 1.7GB Video Memory with 4GB and above system memory configuration
Video Memory Allocation
Intel® Dynamic Memory Technology (DVMT) is a method for dynamically allocating system memory for use as graphics memory to balance 2D/3D graphics and system performance. If your computer is configured to use DVMT, graphics memory is allocated based on system requirements and application demands (up to the configured maximum amount). When memory is no longer needed by an applica tio n, the d ynamically allocated portion of mem or y is returned to the operating system for other uses.
High-bandwidth Digital Content Protectio n (HDCP)
HDCP is the technology for protecting high definition content against unauthorized copy or interception between a source (computer, digital set top boxes, etc.) and the sink (panels, monitor, and TVs). The PCH supports HDCP 1.4a for content protection over wired displays (Mini HDMI and Mini DisplayPort).
High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI)
The HDMI port supports standard, enhanced, or high definition video, plus multi-channel digital audio on a single cable. Each port is compatible with all ATSC and DVB HDTV standards and supports eight full range channels at 24-bit/96 kHz audio of lossless audio formats such as Dolby* TrueHD or DTS* HD Master Audio. The maximum supported resolution is 1920 x 1200 (WUXGA). The HDMI port is compliant with the HDMI 1.4a specification.
Integrated Audio provided by the HDMI interface includes:
− AC-3 – Dolby* Digital
− Dolby Digital Plus
− DTS-HD*
− Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD Master Audio*, (Lossless Blu-ray Disc* Audio Format)
− LPCM, 192 kHz/24-bit, 8 channel
USB
The Xi3 NUC supports USB 2.0/3.0 ports. All USBG 2.0/3.0 ports are high-speed, full-speed, and low-speed capable. The port arrangement is as follows:
• USB 2.0 ports:
− Two front panel ports are implemented through one dual-port internal header
− Two ports are implemented with vertical back panel connectors
− One port is reserved for the PCI Express Half-Mini Card
− One port is reserved for the PCI Express Full-Mini Card
• One front panel USB 3.0 port is implemented through an external connector.
