how to install Asus NUC 14 Pro NUC14RVHv5 Barebone System

• Power down and unplug the unit. Place it on a clean, static-free work surface and gather compatible RAM modules and storage drives that meet the system’s requirements.
• Open the chassis access panel as instructed in the user manual. Locate the RAM slots and the storage interface, then prepare the modules and drives for installation.
• Install the memory modules into the designated DIMM slots, ensuring they click into place and are seated evenly. If the design includes more than one slot, populate according to your memory plan to maximize performance.
• Install the storage drive(s) into the supported bays or M.2 slots as applicable. Secure the drives, reconnect any mounting screws, and route cables neatly to preserve airflow.
• Reattach the access panel, plug in power, and connect your peripheral devices (monitor, keyboard, mouse, network as needed). Power on and enter the BIOS/UEFI setup to configure boot order, PCIe/RAID settings, and memory profiles if required.
• Install your preferred operating system and drivers. After the OS installation, update firmware and drivers to ensure compatibility with peripherals and software toolchains. Create a system backup plan to protect your configuration as you scale or upgrade.

Frequently asked questions

• What is a barebone system? A barebone PC provides the essential chassis, motherboard, and cooling—leaving you to supply memory (RAM) and storage. This approach offers flexibility to tailor the system to your exact needs and budget.
• Do I need to install RAM and storage before first use? Yes. Since this is a barebone unit, you must install compatible RAM and storage to boot the system and run your software.
• Is an operating system included? Typically no OS is pre-installed on barebone systems. You will need to install Windows, Linux, or another compatible OS after assembling RAM and storage.
• Can I upgrade later? Yes. The barebone design is intended for future upgrades, allowing you to add or replace memory and storage as your needs evolve without replacing the entire system.
• Where can I find drivers and support? Asus provides driver and firmware updates via its official support portal. Check the product page for the latest downloads, manuals, and compatibility notes.
