User Manual
FAQ
What components do I need to add to make this barebone system operational?
The NUCS BOX-125H requires user-supplied DDR5 SO-DIMM memory modules (up to 96 GB total), one or two M.2 NVMe SSDs for storage, and a Windows 10 or Windows 11 operating system license and installation media. The system includes the power adapter and VESA mount bracket, so no additional accessories are necessary for basic operation.
What type of memory does this system support and what is the maximum capacity?
This system supports DDR5 SO-DIMM memory modules with a speed of DDR5-5600 (PC5-44800). It has two memory slots that can accommodate up to 96 GB total when using two 48 GB modules. The DDR5 technology provides faster data transfer rates and improved power efficiency compared to previous DDR4 memory.
Can this system support dual monitors?
Yes, the NUCS BOX-125H supports dual monitor configurations through its HDMI port on the rear panel and the front USB-C port that supports DisplayPort 1.4a alternate mode. This allows connection of two independent displays without requiring additional adapters for monitors with HDMI or USB-C inputs that support DisplayPort signaling.
What wireless connectivity options are included?
The system includes both Wi-Fi 6E (802.11ax) and Bluetooth 5.3 wireless technologies. Wi-Fi 6E operates on 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and the newly available 6 GHz bands, providing faster speeds and reduced interference in congested wireless environments. Bluetooth 5.3 offers improved energy efficiency and reliable connections for peripherals like keyboards, mice, and headphones.
How can this compact system be mounted or installed?
The NUCS BOX-125H includes a VESA mount bracket that supports standard 75×75 mm or 100×100 mm mounting patterns. This allows the system to be securely attached to the back of compatible monitors, mounted on walls, or installed under desks. The compact dimensions also permit placement on desktops, shelves, or in other confined spaces where traditional desktop towers would not fit.
What operating systems are compatible with this barebone system?
The hardware is compatible with Windows 10 and Windows 11 operating systems. As a barebone system, it does not include a pre-installed operating system, allowing you to install your preferred version of Windows or potentially other operating systems that support the Intel Core Ultra platform. You will need to provide your own OS license and installation media.
