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 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 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.
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 don’t follow these instructions, you increase your safety risk and the possibility of noncompliance
with regional laws and regulations.

Upgrade System Memory
Intel NUC Kit NUC5PGYH has a 2GB DDR3L memory module already installed. You can upgrade to a
larger capacity module if you wish. Memory requirements:
1.35V low voltage memory
1066 MHz or 1600 MHz SO-DIMMs (1333 MHz modules will operate at 1066 MHz)
Non-ECC
Max memory – 8GB
Find compatible memory modules in the Intel® Product Compatibility Tool.
To upgrade memory:
1. Remove the pre-installed SO-DIMM, following these steps:
a. Observe the precautions in "Before You Begin" on page 2.
b. Gently spread the retaining clips at each end of the SO-DIMM socket. The SO-DIMM
pops out of the socket.
c. Hold the SO-DIMM by the edges, lift it away from the socket, and store it in an
anti-static package.
d. Reinstall and reconnect any parts you removed or disconnected to reach the SO-DIMM
sockets.
2. Install the new SO-DIMM, following these steps:
e. Replace the computer’s cover and reconnect the AC power cord.
a. Align the small notch at the bottom edge of the SO-DIMM with the key in the socket
(A).
b. Insert the bottom edge of the SO-DIMM into the socket.
c. When the SO-DIMM is inserted, push down on the outer edge of the SO-DIMM (B)
until the retaining clips snap into place. Make sure the clips are firmly in place (C).
