Before You Begin

CAUTIONS

The procedures in this 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.

Always disconnect the computer from its power source and from any network before performing any
of the procedures described in this guide.

Failure to disconnect power or networks before you open the computer or perform any procedures can
result in personal injury and/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 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 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.

NOTE

If you plan to install only one memory module, install it in the lower memory
socket.

This guide tells you how to:

• Upgrade memory (RAM)

• Use a VESA mount bracket

• Connect power

•

Set up Microsoft® Windows® 10

• Keep device drivers current

• Operating System Recovery

Upgrading System Memory

The Intel NUC Mini PC NUC7CJYSAL has two 260-pin DDR4 SO-DIMM sockets, pre-installed with one
4GB DDR4 2400 MHz SO-DIMM..

To upgrade memory, be sure to select memory modules that meet these requirements:

 1.2V low voltage memory
 2133 or 2400 MHz SO-DIMMs
 Non-ECC

Find compatible memory modules in the Intel® Product Compatibility Tool.

To upgrade or add 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.

Upgrade to different memory

a. Remove the pre-installed memory module

i. Gently spread the retaining clips at each end of the memory socket, which causes

the module to pop out of the socket (C).

ii. Holding the module by the edges, lift it away from the socket, and store it

in an anti-static package.

b. Install the new memory module

i. Align the small space at the bottom edge of the memory module with the

key in the socket.

ii. Insert the bottom edge of the module at a 45 degree angle into the socket

(A).
