Intel NUC Kit Features 1.13.1 ACPI ACPI gives the operating system direct control over the power management and Plug and Play functions of a computer. The use of ACPI with this board requires an operating system that provides full ACPI support.
1.13.1.1 System States and Power States Under ACPI, the operating system directs all system and device power state transitions. The operating system puts devices in and out of low-power states based on user preferences and knowledge of how devices are being used by applications. Devices that are not being used can be turned off. The operating system uses information from applications and user settings to put the system as a whole into a low-power state.
Intel NUC Kit Features 1.13.1.2 Wake-up Devices and Events Table 12 lists the devices or specific events that can wake the computer from specific states. Table 12.
1.13.2.1 Power Input When resuming from an AC power failure, the computer returns to the power state it was in before power was interrupted (on or off). The computer’s response can be set using the Last Power State feature in the BIOS Setup program’s Boot menu. 1.13.2.2 Instantly Available PC Technology Instantly Available PC technology enables the board to enter the ACPI S3 (Suspend-to-RAM) sleep-state.
Intel NUC Kit Features CAUTION If AC power has been switched off and the standby power indicator is still lit, disconnect the power cord before installing or removing any devices connected to the board. Failure to do so could damage the board and any attached devices. Figure 8.
1.13.3 Microsoft Modern Standby Support Intel NUC Products NUC8i3BE/NUC8i5BE/NUC8i7BE support Windows* 10 Modern Standby, Microsoft’s implementation of ACPI low power S0 idle. This allows the system to reduce power consumption and only wake when necessary, as for system maintenance tasks or user intervention. Modern Standby is required for Wake-on-Voice capability. NOTES You cannot switch between ACPI S3 and Modern Standby.
Intel NUC Kit Features 1.14.2 Intel® Platform Trust Technology Intel® Platform Trust Technology (Intel® PTT) is a platform functionality for credential storage and key management. Intel® PTT supports Microsoft* BitLocker* Drive Encryption for hard drive encryption and supports all Microsoft requirements for firmware Trusted Platform Module (fTPM) 2.0 for client computers. NOTE Support for fTPM version 2.0 requires a UEFI-enabled operating system, such as Microsoft* Windows* 10.
2 Technical Reference 2.1 Memory Resources 2.1.1 Addressable Memory The board utilizes a maximum of 32 GB of addressable system memory. Typically the address space that is allocated for PCI Conventional bus add-in cards, PCI Express configuration space, BIOS (SPI Flash device), and chipset overhead resides above the top of DRAM (total system memory).

Intel NUC Kit Features 2.6 Thermal Considerations CAUTION A chassis with a maximum temperature of 50 oC at the processor fan inlet is recommended. If the internal ambient temperature exceeds 50 oC, further thermal testing is required to ensure components do not exceed their maximum case temperature. CAUTION Failure to ensure appropriate airflow may result in reduced performance of both the processor and/or voltage regulator or, in some instances, damage to the board.
Figure 19 shows the locations of the localized high temperature zones. Item Description A Thermal solution B Processor voltage regulator area Figure 19.
Intel NUC Kit Features A thermal pad has been installed for the bottom of the chassis to improve the thermal performance when using M.2 devices that operate at higher temperatures. If the thermal pad ever needs to be replaced, Figure 20 shows the installation area of the thermal pad for Intel NUC Kit NUC8i3BEK and Intel NUC Kit NUC8i5BEK. Item Description A Thermal Pad B Thermal Pad Installation Area Figure 20.
Figure 21 shows the installation area of the thermal pad for Intel NUC Kit NUC8i3BEH, Intel NUC Kit NUC8i5BEH and Intel NUC Kit NUC8i7BEH. Item Description A Thermal Pad B Thermal Pad Installation Area Figure 21.
Intel NUC Kit Features Table 31. Thermal Considerations for Components provides maximum case temperatures for the components that are sensitive to thermal changes. The operating temperature, current load, or operating frequency could affect case temperatures. Maximum case temperatures are important when considering proper airflow to cool the board. Table 31.
2.7 Reliability The Mean Time between Failures (MTBF) predictions are calculated using component and subassembly random failure rates. The calculation is based on the Telcordia SR-332 Issue 2, Method I, Case 3, 55 ºC ambient. The MTBF prediction is used to estimate repair rates and spare parts requirements. The MTBF for Intel NUC8i3BEB board is 62,994 hours. The MTBF for Intel NUC8i5BEB board is 63,369 hours. The MTBF for Intel NUC8i7BEB board is 64,998 hours. 2.8 Environmental Table 33.
Intel NUC Kit Features 3 Overview of BIOS Features 3.1 Introduction The board uses 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, embedded controller (EC) firmware, LAN EEPROM information, and Plug and Play support. The BIOS displays a message during POST identifying the type of BIOS and a revision code.
3.4 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 first apply power to the computer, legacy support is disabled. 2. POST begins. 3.
Intel NUC Kit Features 3.5.1 Language Support The BIOS Setup program and help messages are supported in US English. Check the Intel web site for support. 3.6 BIOS Recovery It is unlikely that anything will interrupt a BIOS update; however, if an interruption occurs, the BIOS could be damaged. Table 34. Acceptable Drives/Media Types for BIOS Recovery lists the drives and media types that can and cannot be used for BIOS recovery. The BIOS recovery media does not need to be made bootable. Table 34.
3.7 Boot Options In the BIOS Setup program, the user can choose to boot from a hard drive, optical drive, removable drive, or the network. The default setting is for the optical drive to be the first boot device, the hard drive second, removable drive third, and the network fourth. NOTE Optical drives are not supported by the onboard SATA connectors. Optical drives are supported only via the USB interfaces. If the optical drive is not bootable, it will be ignored during the POST process. 3.7.
Intel NUC Kit Features 3.7.4 Power Button Menu As an alternative to normal POST Hotkeys, the user can use the power button to access a menu. The Power Button Menu is accessible via the following sequence: 1. System is in S4/S5 (soft off); will not work if system is in G3 (after “no power” state) 2. User pushes the power button and holds it down for 3 seconds 3. The front panel power button LED will change from Blue to Amber then the user can release the power button. 4.
3.8 Hard Disk Drive Password Security Feature The Hard Disk Drive Password Security feature blocks read and write accesses to the hard disk drive until the correct password is given. Hard Disk Drive Passwords are set in BIOS SETUP and are prompted for during BIOS POST. For convenient support of S3 resume, the system BIOS will automatically unlock drives on resume from S3. Valid password characters are A-Z, a-z, and 0-9. Passwords may be up to 19 characters in length.
Intel NUC Kit Features Currently, there is no industry standard for implementing Hard Disk Drive Password Security on AHCI or NVME drives. Hard drive encryption can still be implemented and does not require Hard Disk Drive Password Security. 3.9 BIOS Security Features The BIOS includes security features that restrict access to the BIOS Setup program and who can boot the computer.
4 Error Messages and Blink Codes 4.1 Front-panel Power LED Blink Codes Whenever a recoverable error occurs during POST, the BIOS causes the board’s front panel power LED to blink an error message describing the problem (see Table 38. Front-panel Power LED Blink Codes). Table 38. Front-panel Power LED Blink Codes 4.2 Type Pattern Note Power-on Solid on primary color. Indicates S0 state. Default to On; can be disabled via BIOS Setup S3 Standby Blink alternate color .25 seconds on, .
