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.
