Introduction
This User Guide provides step-by-step installation instructions for these
products:
• Intel® NUC 11 Pro Kit NUC11TNKi3
• Intel® NUC 11 Pro Kit NUC11TNKi5
• Intel® NUC 11 Pro Kit NUC11TNKv5
• Intel® NUC 11 Pro Kit NUC11TNKi7

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, telecommunications links, or networks before you open the computer or
perform any procedures can result in personal injury 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 computers, 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.
Open the Chassis
Unscrew the four corner screws on the bottom of the chassis and lift the cover.
Install and Remove System Memory
Intel® NUC 11 Pro Kits NUC11TNK have two 260-pin DDR4 SO-DIMM memory slots
Memory requirements:
• 1.2V low voltage memory
• 2133/2400/3200 MHz SO-DIMMs
• Non-ECC
Find compatible system memory modules at the Intel® Product Compatibility
Tool:
• Intel® NUC 11 Pro Kit NUC11TNKi3
• Intel® NUC 11 Pro Kit NUC11TNKi5
• Intel® NUC 11 Pro Kit NUC11TNKv5
• Intel® NUC 11 Pro Kit NUC11TNKi7
• Intel® NUC 11 Pro Kit NUC11TNKv7
Install SO-DIMMs
If you plan to install just one SO-DIMM, install it in the lower memory
socket. To install the SO-DIMMs, follow these steps:
1. Observe the precautions in “Before You Begin” in Section 1.1.
2. Turn off all peripheral devices connected to the computer. Turn off the
computer and disconnect the AC power cord.3. Align the small notch at the bottom edge of the SO-DIMM with the
key in the socket.
4. Insert the bottom edge of the SO-DIMM into the socket.
5. When the SO-DIMM is inserted, push down on the outer edge of the SO-DIMM
until the retaining clips snap into place. Make sure the clips are firmly in
place.
Remove SO-DIMMs
To remove a SO-DIMM, follow these steps:
1. Observe the precautions in “Before You Begin” in Section 1.1.
2. Turn off all peripheral devices connected to the computer. Turn off the
computer.
3. Remove the AC power cord from the computer.
4. Remove the computer’s cover.
5. Gently spread the retaining clips at each end of the SO-DIMM socket. The
SO-DIMM pops out of the socket.
6. Hold the SO-DIMM by the edges, lift it away from the socket, and store it
in an anti-static package.
7. Reinstall and reconnect any parts you removed or disconnected to reach the
SO-DIMM sockets.
8. Replace the computer’s cover and reconnect the AC power cord.
Install an M.2 SSD
Intel® NUC 11 Pro Kits NUC11TNK support 80mm and 42mm SSDs. Find compatible
M.2 SSDs at the Intel® Product Compatibility Tool:
• Intel® NUC 11 Pro Kit NUC11TNKi3
• Intel® NUC 11 Pro Kit NUC11TNKi5
• Intel® NUC 11 Pro Kit NUC11TNKv5
• Intel® NUC 11 Pro Kit NUC11TNKi7
• Intel® NUC 11 Pro Kit NUC11TNKv7
If you’re installing an 80mm M.2 SSD:
1. Remove the small silver screw from the 80mm metal standoff on the
motherboard (A).
2. Align the small notch at the bottom edge of the M.2 card with the key in
the connector.
3. Insert the bottom edge of the M.2 card into the connector (B).
4. Secure the card to the standoff with the small silver screw (C).
If you’re installing a 42mm M.2 SSD:
1. Remove the small silver screw from the metal standoff on the motherboard
(A).
2. Move the standoff (B) from the 80mm position to the 42mm position (C).
3. Align the small notch at the bottom edge of the M.2 card with the key in
the connector.
4. Insert the bottom edge of the M.2 card into the connector (D).
5. Secure the card to the standoff with the small silver screw (E).
Close the Chassis
After all, components have been installed, close the Intel NUC chassis. Intel recommends this be done by hand with a screwdriver to avoid over-tightening and possibly damaging the screws.
Use the VESA Bracket
(Optional)
Follow these instructions to attach and use the VESA Mount bracket:
1. Using the four small black screws that were included in the box, attach
the VESA bracket to the back of the monitor or TV.
2. Attach the two slightly larger black screws to the
bottom chassis cover of the Intel NUC.
3. Slide the Intel NUC onto the VESA mount bracket.
Connect Power
Each Intel NUC model includes either a region-specific AC power cord or no AC power cord (only the power adapter).
Product codes | Power cord type |
