1.5

USB

The USB port arrangement is as follows:

•

USB 3.1 gen2 ports:

⎯ Two ports are implemented with external front panel connectors (one USB Type C and

one USB Type A with amber color charging capable)

⎯ Two ports are implemented with external back panel connectors (USB Type A with

blue color)

⎯ Maximum current is 900 mA for each blue port, 1.5 A for the amber charging port

•

USB 2.0 ports:

⎯ Two ports via two single-port internal 1x4 1.25 mm pitch headers (white)

⎯ Maximum current is 500 mA for each port of the white headers (1 A total)

All the USB ports are high-speed, full-speed, and low-speed capable.

NOTE

Computer systems that have an unshielded cable attached to a USB port may not meet FCC

Class B requirements, even if no device is attached to the cable. Use a shielded cable that

meets the requirements for full-speed devices.

SATA Interface

The SoC provides one SATA port with a theoretical maximum transfer rate of 6.0 Gb/s. A

point-to-point interface is used for host to device connections.

The underlying SATA functionality is transparent to the operating system. The SATA

controller can operate in both legacy and native modes. In legacy mode, standard IDE I/O and

IRQ resources are assigned (IRQ 14 and 15). In Native mode, standard PCI Conventional bus

resource steering is used. Native mode is the preferred mode for configurations using

Windows* operating systems.

1.6.1

AHCI Mode

The board supports AHCI storage mode.

NOTE

In order to use AHCI mode, AHCI must be enabled in the BIOS. Microsoft* Windows* 10 includes

the necessary AHCI drivers without the need to install separate AHCI drivers during the

operating system installation process. However, it is always good practice to update the AHCI

drivers to the latest available by Intel.

Real-Time Clock Subsystem

A coin-cell lithium battery (CR2032) powers the real-time clock and CMOS memory. When the

computer is not plugged into a wall socket, the battery has an estimated life of three years.

When the computer is plugged in, the standby current from the power supply extends the life

of the battery. The clock is accurate to  13 minutes/year at 25 ºC with 3.3 VSB applied via the

power supply 5 V STBY rail.

NOTE

If the battery and AC power fail, date and time values will be reset and the user will be notified

during the POST.

When the voltage drops below a certain level, the BIOS Setup program settings stored in

CMOS RAM (for example, the date and time) might not be accurate. Replace the battery with

an equivalent one. Figure 1 shows the location of the battery.

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. ACPI features include:

•

Plug and Play (including bus and device enumeration)

Power management control of individual devices, add-in boards (some add-in boards may

require an ACPI-aware driver), video displays, and disk drives

Methods for achieving less than 15-watt system operation in the power-on/standby

sleeping state

•

A Soft-off feature that enables the operating system to power-off the computer

Support for multiple wake-up events (see Table 7 on page Error! Bookmark not defined.)

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.

Table 6 lists the power states supported by the board along with the associated system power

targets. See the ACPI specification for a complete description of the various system and power

states.

1.11.2.1

Power Input

When resuming from an AC power failure, the computer may return 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.

1.11.2.2

Instantly Available PC Technology

Instantly Available PC technology enables the board to enter the ACPI S3 (Suspend-to-RAM)

sleep-state. While in the S3 sleep-state, the computer will appear to be off (the power supply

is off, and the front panel LED is amber if dual colored, or off if single colored.) When signaled

by a wake-up device or event, the system quickly returns to its last known wake state. Table 7

lists the devices and events that can wake the computer from the S3 state.

The use of Instantly Available PC technology requires operating system support and drivers

for any installed PCI Express add-in card.

1.11.2.3

LAN Wake Capabilities

LAN wake capabilities enable remote wake-up of the computer through a network. The LAN

subsystem monitors network traffic at the Media Independent Interface. Upon detecting a

Magic Packet* frame, the LAN subsystem asserts a wake-up signal that powers up the

computer.

1.11.2.4

Wake from USB

USB bus activity wakes the computer from an ACPI S3, S4, and S5 states.

NOTE

Wake from USB requires the use of a USB peripheral that supports Wake from USB.

1.11.2.5

Memory Resources

2.1.1

Addressable Memory

The board utilizes up to 8 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). On a

system that has 8 GB of system memory installed, it is not possible to use all of the installed

memory due to system address space being allocated for other system critical functions. These

functions include the following:

•

BIOS/SPI Flash device (64 Mbit)

Local APIC (19 MB)

Direct Media Interface (40 MB)

PCI Express configuration space (256 MB)

SoC base address registers PCI Express ports (up to 256 MB)

Memory-mapped I/O (I/O fabric) that is dynamically allocated for PCI Express add-in cards

(256 MB)

The board provides the capability to reclaim the physical memory overlapped by the memory

mapped I/O logical address space. The board remaps physical memory from the top of usable

DRAM boundary to the 4 GB boundary to an equivalent sized logical address range located just

above the 4 GB boundary. All installed system memory can be used when there is no overlap of

system addresses.

2.2

Connectors and Headers

CAUTION

Only the following connectors and headers have overcurrent protection: back panel and front

panel USB.

The other internal connectors and headers are not overcurrent protected and should connect

only to devices inside the computer’s chassis, such as fans and internal peripherals. Do not use

these connectors or headers to power devices external to the computer’s chassis. A fault in the

load presented by the external devices could cause damage to the computer, the power cable,

and the external devices themselves.

Furthermore, improper connection of USB header single wire connectors may eventually

overload the overcurrent protection and cause damage to the board.

Thermal Considerations

CAUTION

A chassis with a maximum internal ambient temperature of 55 ^oC at the processor fan inlet is

recommended. If the internal ambient temperature exceeds 55 ^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.

All responsibility for determining the adequacy of any thermal or system design remains solely

with the system integrator. Intel makes no warranties or representations that merely following the

instructions presented in this document will result in a system with adequate thermal

performance.

CAUTION

Ensure that the ambient temperature does not exceed the board’s maximum operating

temperature. Failure to do so could cause components to exceed their maximum case

temperature and malfunction. For information about the maximum operating temperature, see

the environmental specifications in Section 2.8.

CAUTION

Ensure that proper airflow is maintained in the processor voltage regulator circuit. Failure to do

so may result in shorter than expected product lifetime. Figure 17 shows the locations of the

localized high temperature zones. Figure 17 shows the locations of the localized high temperature

zones.

Thermal solution

Processor voltage regulator area

Table 19 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 19. Thermal Considerations for Components

Component

Maximum Case Temperature

Processor

For processor case temperature, see processor datasheets and processor

specification updates

To ensure functionality and reliability, the component is specified for proper operation when

Case Temperature is maintained at or below the maximum temperature listed in Table 20. This is

a requirement for sustained power dissipation equal to Thermal Design Power (TDP is specified

as the maximum sustainable power to be dissipated by the components). When the component is

dissipating less than TDP, the case temperature should be below the Maximum Case

Temperature. The surface temperature at the geometric center of the component corresponds to

Case Temperature.

It is important to note that the temperature measurement in the system BIOS is a value reported

by embedded thermal sensors in the components and does not directly correspond to the

Maximum Case Temperature. The upper operating limit when monitoring this thermal sensor is

Tcontrol.

Overview of BIOS Features

3.1

Introduction

The board uses an Intel NUC 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 BIOS

Setup program, POST, the PCI auto-configuration utility, LAN EEPROM information, and Plug and

Play support. The initial production BIOSs are identified as INWHL357.

The 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 config menu is displayed only when the board is in configuration mode. Section 2.3 on page

44 shows how to put the board in configuration mode (Jumper removed).

3.2

3.3

BIOS Flash Memory Organization

The Serial Peripheral Interface Flash Memory (SPI Flash) includes a 128 Mb (16384 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.

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. However, this requires the addition of USB 3.1

drivers to the operating system image prior to beginning installation. 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.

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. This requires the operating system to have USB 3.1 driver support in order to recognize

devices attached to any of the Intel NUC’s external USB ports.

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.

3.5

BIOS Updates

The BIOS can be updated using either of the following utilities, which are available on the Intel

World Wide Web site:

•

Intel® Firmware Update Utility for Windows with a single .exe, which enables automated

updating while in the Windows environment. Using this utility, the BIOS can be updated from

a file on a hard disk, a USB drive (a flash drive or a USB hard drive), or from the file location on

the Web.

•

Intel® Firmware Update Utility, which support working on Windows, EFI shell and Linux

operating systems. Using this utility, the BIOS can be updated from a file on a hard disk, or a

USB drive (a flash drive or a USB hard drive).

Intel F7 switch during POST allows a user to select where the BIOS .CAP file is located and

perform the update from that location/device. Similar to performing a BIOS Recovery without

removing the BIOS configuration jumper.

All utilities verify that the updated BIOS matches the target system to prevent accidentally

installing an incompatible BIOS.

NOTE

Review the instructions distributed with the upgrade utility before attempting a BIOS update.

Overview of BIOS 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 22 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 22. Acceptable Drives/Media Types for BIOS Recovery

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.

3.7.1

Network Boot

The network can be selected as a boot device. This selection allows booting from the onboard

LAN or a network add-in card with a remote boot ROM installed.

Pressing the <F12> key during POST automatically forces booting from the LAN. To use this key

during POST.

3.7.2

Booting Without Attached Devices

For use in embedded applications, the BIOS has been designed so that after passing the POST,

the operating system loader is invoked even if the following devices are not present:

•

Video adapter

Keyboard

Mouse

3.7.3

Changing the Default Boot Device During POST

Pressing the <F10> key during POST causes a boot device menu to be displayed. This menu

displays the list of available boot devices. Table 23 lists the boot device menu options.

3.7.4

Power Button Menu

The Power Button Menu is accessible via the following sequence:

1. System is in S4/S5 (not G3)

2. User pushes the power button and holds it down

3. The power LED will change to its secondary color to signal the user to release the power

button (approximately 3 seconds) then stop. Release immediately.

4. User releases the power button before the 4-second shutdown override.

If this boot path is taken, the BIOS will use default settings of Performance settings, ignoring

settings in VPD where possible.

The BIOS will display the following prompt and wait for a keystroke:

[ESC] Normal Boot

[F2]

[F3]

[F4]

[F7]

BIOS Setup Menu

Disable Fast Boot

BIOS Recovery

[F3] Disable Fast Boot is only displayed if at least one Fast Boot optimization is enabled.

If an unrecognized key is hit, then the BIOS will do nothing and wait for another keystroke. If one

of the listed hotkeys is hit, the BIOS will follow the indicated boot path. Password requirements

must still be honored.

If Disable Fast Boot is selected, the BIOS will disable all Fast Boot optimizations and reset the

system.

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 length for passwords is 32 characters for

max. Valid characters for passwords are ASCII codes between 0x20 and 0x7E, which includes

numbers/English characters and special characters.

The User hard disk drive password, when installed, will be required upon each power-cycle until

the Master Key or User hard disk drive password is submitted.

The Master Key hard disk drive password, when installed, will not lock the drive. The Master Key

hard disk drive password exists as an unlock override in the event that the User hard disk drive

password is forgotten. Only the installation of the User hard disk drive password will cause a hard

disk to be locked upon a system power-cycle.

Table 24 shows the effects of setting the Hard Disk Drive Passwords.

NOTE

The passwords are stored on the hard disk drive so if the drive is relocated to another computer

that does not support Hard Disk Drive Password Security feature, the drive will not be accessible.

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. A supervisor password and a user password can be set for the BIOS Setup

program and for booting the computer, with the following restrictions:

•

The supervisor password gives unrestricted access to view and change all the Setup options

in the BIOS Setup program. This is the supervisor mode.

The user password gives restricted access to view and change Setup options in the BIOS

Setup program. This is the user mode.

If only the supervisor password is set, pressing the <Enter> key at the password prompt of

the BIOS Setup program allows the user restricted access to Setup.

Overview of BIOS Features

•

If both the supervisor and user passwords are set, users can enter either the supervisor

password or the user password to access Setup. Users have access to Setup respective to

which password is entered.

Setting the user password restricts who can boot the computer. The password prompt will be

displayed before the computer is booted. If only the supervisor password is set, the

computer boots without asking for a password. If both passwords are set, the user can enter

either password to boot the computer.

•

For enhanced security, use different passwords for the supervisor and user passwords.

Valid characters for passwords are ASCII codes between 0x20 and 0x7E, which includes

numbers/English characters and special characters. Valid length for passwords is 2 to 20

characters.

•

To clear a set password, enter a blank password after entering the existing password.

Table 25 shows the effects of setting the supervisor password and user password. This table is

for reference only and is not displayed on the screen.
