Chapter2– Get to Know your NUC

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 channels, 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.

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 application, the dynamically allocated portion of memory is returned to the

operating system for other uses.

High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP)

HDCP is the technology for protecting high definition content against unauthorized copy or interception between a source

(computer, digital set top boxes, etc.) and the sink (panels, monitor, and TVs). The PCH supports HDCP 1.4a for content

Intel Security and Manageability Technologies

Intel® Security and Manageability Technologies provide the tools and resources to help protect and manage assets.

Intel® vPRO™ Technology is a collection of platform capabilities that support enhanced manageability, security,

virtualization and power efficiency. The key platform capabilities include:

• Intel® Active Management Technology (Intel® AMT) 8.0

• Intel® Virtualization (Intel® VT)

• Intel® Virtualization for Directed I/O (Intel® (VT-d)

• Intel® Trusted Execution Technology (Intel® TXT)

• Intel® Identity Protection Technology (Intel® IPT)

• Intel® Anti-Theft Technology (Intel® AT)

• Trusted Platform Module (TPM)

Intel® Active Management Technology, when used with third-party management and security applications, allows for

better discovery, heal, and protection of networked computing assets. Features include:

−Out-of-band (OOB) system access, to discover assets even while PCs are powered off

−Remote trouble-shooting and recovery, which allows remote diagnosis and recovery of systems after OS failures

−Hardware-based agent presence checking that automatically detects and alerts when critical software agents have

been stopped or are missing

−Proactive network defense, which uses filters to block incoming threats while isolating infected clients before they

impact the network

−Remote hardware and software asset tracking, helping to track computer assets and keep virus protection up-to-

date

−Keyboard, video and mouse (KVM) remote control, which allows redirection of managed system’s video to a remote

console which can then interact with it using the console’s own mouse and keyboard

Note: Intel® AMT requires the computer system to have an Intel® AMT-enabled chipset, network hardware and software, as well as

connection with a power source, a corporate network connection, and an Intel® AMT-enabled remote management console. Setup

requires additional configuration of the platform.

Intel® Virtualization Technology (Intel® VT), is a hardware-assisted technology that, when combined with software-based

virtualization solutions, provides maximum system utilization by consolidating multiple environments into a single server or

client.

Note: Intel® VT requires a chipset, BIOS, enabling software and/or operating system, device drivers, and applications designed for this

feature.

Intel® Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O (Intel® VT-d) allows addresses in incoming I/O device memory

transactions to be remapped to different host addresses. This provides Virtual Machine Monitor (VMM) software with:

−Improved reliability and security through device isolation using hardware assisted remapping.

−Improved I/O performance and availability by direct assignment of devices.

Intel® Trusted Execution Technology (Intel® TXT) is a hardware security solution that protects systems against software-

based attacks by validating the behavior of key components at startup against a known good source. It requires that Intel®

VT be enabled and the presence of a TPM.

Intel® Identity Protection Technology (Intel® IPT) provides a simple way for websites and enterprises to validate that a

user is logging in from a trusted computer. This is accomplished by using the Intel® Manageability Engine embedded in the

chipset to generate a six-digit number that, when coupled with a user name and password, will generate a One-Time

Password (OTP) when visiting the Intel® IPT –enabled websites. Intel® IPT eliminates the need for additional token or key

fob required previously for two-factor authentication.

Intel® Anti-Theft Technology (Intel® AT) provides local, tamper-resistant defense that works like a poison pill that disables

the computer and access to its data even if the operating system (OS) is reimaged, a new hard drive is installed, or the

computer is disconnected from the network.

Note: No computer system can provide absolute security under all conditions. Intel® AT requires that computer system to have an Intel®

AT-enabled chipset, BIOS, firmware release, software, and an Intel® AT-capable Service Provider / ISV application and service

subscription. The detection (triggers), response (actions), and recovery mechanisms only work after the Intel® AT functionality has been

activated and configured. Certain functionality may not be offered by some ISVs or service providers and may not be available in all

countries. Intel® assumes no liability for lost or stolen data and/or systems or any other damages resulting thereof.

Trusted Platform Module (TPM). The ST Micro ST33ZP24AR28PVSP version 1.2 revision 116 component is specifically

designed to enhance platform security above-and-beyond the capabilities of today’s software by providing a protected space

for key operations and other security critical tasks. Using both hardware and software, the TPM protects encryption and

signature keys at their most vulnerable stages-operations when the keys are being used unencrypted in plain-text form. The

TPM shields unencrypted keys and platform authentication information from software-based attacks.

The Dangers of Static Electricity

Like all computers, Xi3 NUCs are powered by electricity. As a result, a random static electricity charge can cause serious

damage to your Xi3 NUC (just as it can to any electrical device).

If you choose to open your Xi3 NUC for any reason, you must do everything possible to prevent an accidental static

electrical discharge. Specifically,

• DO ground yourself, while seated, before touching or handling your Xi3 NUC by touching any grounded metallic

object NOT connected to or touching the Xi3 NUC.

• DO NOT open or work on your Xi3 NUC in a carpeted room or a room with a linoleum floor.

• DO NOT work on or open your Xi3 NUC during or prior to an electrical storm.

Removing & Replacing Components

Upgrading, updating and/or replacing components is easy. Simply follow the steps outlined in Intels Integration Guide:

Restarting Your Xi3 NUC

You can restart your Xi3 NUC by briefly depressing the Power Button on the top of the computer.

The board uses an Intel® Visual BIOS that is stored in the serial Peripheral Interface Flash Memory (SPI Flash) and can be updated using

a disk-based program. The SPI Flash contains the Visual BIOS Setup program, POST, the PCI auto-configuration utility, LAN EEPROM

information, and Plug and Play support.

The BIOS displays a message during POST identifying the type of BIOS and a revision code. The initial production BIOSs

are identified as RKPPT10H.86A.

When the BIOS setup configuration jumper is set to configure mode and the computer is powered-up, the BIOS compares

the CPU version and the microcode version in the BIOS and reports if the two match.

The Visual BIOS Setup program can be used to view and change the BIOS settings for the computer. The BIOS Setup

program is accessed by pressing the <F2> key after the Power-On Self-Test (POST) memory test begins and before the

operating system boot begins. {Note, the maintenance menu is displayed only when the board is in configure mode.}

The Serial Peripheral Interface Flash Memory (SPI Flash) includes a 128Mb (16000 Kb) flash memory device.

System Management BIOS (SMBIOS)

SMBIOS is a Desktop Management Interface (DMI) compliant method for managing computers in a managed network.

The main component of SMBIOS is the Management Information Format (MIF) database, which contains information about

the computing system and its components. Using SMBIOS, a system administrator can obtain the system types,

capabilities, operational status, and installation dates for system components. The MIF database defines the data and

provides the method for accessing this information. The BIOS enables applications such as third-party management

software to use SMBIOS. The BIOS stores and reports the following SMBIOS information:

• BIOS data, such as the BIOS revision level

• Fixed-system data, such as peripherals, serial numbers, and asset tags

• Resource data, such as memory size, cache size, and processor speed

• Dynamic data, such as event detection and error logging

Non-Plug and Play operating systems require an additional interface for obtaining the SMBIOS information. The BIOS

supports an SMBIOS table interface for such operating systems. Using this support, an SMBIOS service-level application

running on a non-Plug and Play operating system can obtain the SMBIOS information. Additional board information can be

found in the BIOS under the Additional Information header under the Main BIOS page.

Legacy USB Support

Legacy USB support enables USB devices to be used even when the operating system’s USB drivers are not yet available.

Legacy USB support is used to access the BIOS Setup program, and to install an operating system that supports USB. By

default, Legacy USB support is set to Enabled.

Legacy USB support operates as follows:

1. When you apply power to the computer, legacy support is disabled.

2. POST begins

3. Legacy USB support is enabled by the BIOS allowing you to use a USB keyboard to enter and configure the BIOS

Setup program and the maintenance menu.

4. POST completes

5. The operating system loads. While the operating system is loading, USB keyboards and mice are recognized and

may be used to configure the operating system. (Keyboards and mice are not recognized during this period if

Legacy USB support was set to Disabled in the BIOS Setup program.)

6. After the operating system loads the USB drivers, all legacy and non-legacy USB devices are recognized by the

operating system, and Legacy USB support from the BIOS is no longer used.

7. Additional USB legacy feature options can be accessed by using Intel® Integrator Toolkit.

To install an operating system that supports USB, verify that Legacy USB support in the BIOS Setup program is set to

Enabled and follow the operating system’s installation instructions.

BIOS Updates

The BIOS can be updated using either of the following utilities, which are available on the Intel® World Wide Web site:
