Opsætning
The Intel NUC 10 Performance Kit requires user-supplied memory (RAM) and storage (SSD/HDD) for full functionality. Follow these steps for initial setup:
- Udpak komponenter: Carefully remove the NUC chassis and any included accessories from the packaging.
- Prepare for Internal Access: The NUC chassis typically has screws on the bottom or sides that need to be removed to access the internal components. Refer to the specific model's diagram for screw locations.
- Installer hukommelse (RAM): Locate the SODIMM slots on the motherboard. Align the memory module with the slot, ensuring the notch matches, and press down firmly until the clips on the sides snap into place.
- Installer lagerplads:
- M.2 SSD: Insert the M.2 SSD into its designated slot at an angle, then gently push it down and secure it with the provided screw.
- 2.5-inch SSD/HDD: If your NUC model supports a 2.5-inch drive, mount it into the drive bay and connect the SATA data and power cables.
- Luk chassis: Once all internal components are installed, reattach the cover and secure it with the screws.
- Tilslut ydre enheder:
- Connect your monitor(s) using HDMI or Thunderbolt 3 ports.
- Tilslut dit tastatur og din mus til de tilgængelige USB-porte.
- Connect to a network via Ethernet or ensure Wi-Fi antennas are properly connected (if applicable).
- Tænd: Connect the power adapter to the NUC and a power outlet. Press the power button to start the system.
- Installation af operativsystem: The NUC kit does not come with an operating system. You will need to install your preferred OS (e.g., Windows 10, Linux distribution) from a bootable USB drive. Access the BIOS/UEFI settings (usually by pressing F2 or Delete during boot) to configure boot order if necessary.

Opretholdelse
Regular maintenance helps ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Intel NUC 10.
- Fjernelse af støv: Periodically clean the exterior and ventilation grilles with a soft, dry cloth. For internal cleaning, carefully open the chassis (refer to setup instructions for access) and use compressed air to remove dust from the fan and heatsink. Ensure the system is powered off and unplugged before cleaning.
- Softwareopdateringer: Keep your operating system, drivers, and BIOS/UEFI firmware updated. Visit the official Intel support website for the latest drivers and firmware for your NUC model.
- Termisk pasta: If you experience persistent overheating or fan noise, the thermal paste on the CPU might need to be replaced. This is an advanced procedure and should only be performed by experienced users or qualified technicians.
- Komponentopgraderinger: The NUC 10 allows for upgrades of RAM and storage. When upgrading, ensure compatibility with your specific NUC model and follow proper installation procedures to avoid damage.
Fejlfinding
If you encounter issues with your Intel NUC 10, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:
- Ingen strøm:
- Kontroller, at strømadapteren er korrekt tilsluttet både NUC'en og en fungerende stikkontakt.
- Test stikkontakten med en anden enhed.
- Ensure the power button is functioning correctly.
- Ingen visning:
- Check all video cable connections (HDMI, Thunderbolt 3) between the NUC and the monitor.
- Sørg for, at skærmen er tændt og indstillet til den korrekte inputkilde.
- Prøv et andet videokabel eller en anden skærm, hvis det er muligt.
- Operativsystemet starter ikke op:
- Access BIOS/UEFI settings (F2 or Delete during boot) and verify the boot order.
- Check if the installed storage drive (SSD/HDD) is detected in the BIOS/UEFI.
- If recently installed, ensure the OS installation was successful and complete.
- Excessive Fan Noise or Overheating:
- Ensure the NUC is placed in a well-ventilated area and not obstructed.
- Clean dust from the fan and vents as described in the Maintenance section.
- Update BIOS/UEFI firmware, as it may contain fan control improvements.
- Periferiudstyr ikke fundet:
- Prøv at tilslutte den eksterne enhed til en anden USB-port.
- Ensure the peripheral has the necessary drivers installed on your operating system.
- Test den eksterne enhed på en anden computer for at udelukke enhedsfejl.
