Chapter 1 - Getting Started
Introduction
The Xi3® NUC Leon boasts the latest 4th generation Intel® Core™ i5 processor in a slim form factor and features a fully scalable engine to drive desktop computing, digital signage, embedded systems, media centers, VDI solutions, video surveillance and virtually any space-constrained computing application you can imagine.
What’s Inside?
When you open the box containing your Xi3 NUC, you should find:
One fully integrated Intel® NUC D54250WYK including RAM, SSD,
OS, and WiFi (if applicable) One Power Cord
One Power Adaptor
One Vesa Mount
Getting Started
Step One - Connect Your Display To get started, connect your monitor cable to your display and then connect to either the Mini HDMI or the Mini DisplayPort found on your NUC.
The Mini Display is ideal for transmitting uncompressed digital audio and video signals to television sets, projectors and other v ideo dis pl a ys while the Mini DisplayPort is designed to support connections between PCs and monitors, projectors, and TV displays. The DisplayPort output supports Multi-Streaming Transport (MST) which allows for multiple independent video streams (dais y-chain connection with multiple monitors) over a single DisplayPort.
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
Note: Higher resolutions may be achievable but have not been tested.
The maximum resolutions available when using DisplayPort 1.2 Multi-Stream Transport are as follows:

Step Five - Connect the Power Cord and Power Adaptor
First join the Power Cord to the Power Adaptor. Next connect the small round end of the Power Cord to the Power Cord port found on back of the Xi3 NUC. Then insert the three-prong AC plug directly into an electrical wall outlet (or a surge protector/power strip).
Step Six - Turn Your Xi3 NUC On
The Power Button is found on the top of the Xi3 NUC. Briefly depress this Power Button to turn on your Xi3 NUC.
{NOTE: You should also turn on your computer monitor/display at this time.}
Your Operating System
The standard Operating System for the NUC is openSUSE Linux. However, based upon your preferences, you may have purchased your

Downloading/Installing Programs from the Internet
To download and install Software Applications from the Internet onto your Xi3 NUC, take the following steps.
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).
1. Insert the DVD or CD into your DVD/CD drive.
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 a DVD or CD and then follow the steps outlined above in the Installing Programs from a DVD or CD or Installing Programs from a USB thumb drive sections above. 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.
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 DDR3L with two connectors for 1600/1333 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:
1.35V DDR3L SDRAM SO-DIMMs with gold plated contacts
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
DDR3L 1600 MHz and DDR3L 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 channel, 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* 11 support
OpenGL* 4.0 support
Video
Next Generation Intel® Clear video Technology HD support is a collection of video playback and enhancement features that improve the end users viewing experience.
Encode/transcode HD content
Playback of high definition content including Blu-ray disc
Superior image quality with sharper, more colorful images
Playback of Blu-ray disk S3D content using Mini HDMI (v1.4a spec compliant with 3D)
DirectX Video Acceleration (DXVA) support for accelerating video processing
Full AVC/VC1/MPEG2 HW Decode
Intel® HD Graphics with Advanced Hardware video Transcoding (Intel® Quick Sync Video)
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 ot the operating system for other uses.
