Important Note for Barebone Models:

This NucBox K8 Plus model is a barebone unit. It does not come with pre-installed DDR memory or an SSD. You must purchase and install these components separately for the PC to function correctly and display the operating system. Failure to install them will result in the system not booting or displaying a blue screen.

Memory (DDR) and SSD Installation:

Follow these steps to install your DDR memory and SSD. It is recommended to install and verify each memory module individually if installing two.

  1. Open the Mini PC cover to access the motherboard.
  2. For DDR memory, insert the SO-DIMM module(s) at an angle into the slot(s) and gently push down until it clicks into place.
  3. For SSD, insert the M.2 SSD card into its slot and secure it with the provided screw.
  4. If installing two memory modules, insert one first. Power on the PC and wait approximately 1 minute for the system to recognize it. After recognition, power off, then insert the second module and restart.

Kubatanidza Peripherals:

Connect your monitor, keyboard, and mouse. For initial setup, it is recommended to use a wired mouse or a USB receiver-based wireless mouse, as Bluetooth mice may not be recognized during the initial Windows setup screen.

System Not Booting / Blue Screen:

  • Ensure that DDR memory and SSD are correctly installed. This is a barebone model and requires these components.
  • If installing two memory modules, try installing one at a time and verifying recognition before installing the second.
  • If the issue persists, power off the PC, disconnect all external devices, press and hold the power button for 30 seconds, clean the metal terminals of the memory/SSD, then reconnect and restart.

Peripheral Recognition Issues:

  • For initial setup, use wired keyboards and mice or those with a USB receiver, as Bluetooth devices may not be recognized until the operating system is fully configured.
