Step Five - Connect the Power Cord and Power Adaptor
First join the Power Cord to the Power Adaptor. Next connect the small round end of the Power Cord to the
Power Cord port found on back of the Xi3 NUC. Then insert the three-prong AC plug directly into an electrical
wall outlet (or a surge protector/power strip).
Step Six - Turn Your Xi3 NUC On
The Power Button is found on the top of the Xi3 NUC. Briefly depress this Power Button to turn on your Xi3 NUC.
{NOTE: You
should also turn on your computer monitor/display at this time.}
Your Operating System
The standard Operating System for the NUC is openSUSE Linux. However, based upon your preferences, you may have purchased your
computer with a different Operating System pre-installed, such as Windows
®
.
{NOTE: The Xi3 NUC will work with any 64-bit Operating
System designed for x86-based computers, such as variants of UNIX®, AIX®, other Linux Operating Systems, and even Web- or Cloud-
based Operating Systems.}
Listed below are instructions for getting started with the two most common operating systems.
openSUSE Linux
After completing Steps One through Six above (including turning on your Xi3 NUC
and your computer monitor/display), the main screen of the openSUSE Linux
operating system should appear on your computer monitor, signifying that you
are ready to begin using your Xi3 NUC.
{NOTE: When shipped from the
factory, the initial Root Password on an Xi3 NUC pre-loaded with
openSUSE Linux is xi3password – all in lowercase. Please reset your Root
Password after initial use.}
Windows 7/8
After completing Steps One through Six on the previous pages (including turning
on your Xi3 NUC and your computer monitor/display), the main screen of your
Windows operating system should appear on your computer monitor, signifying
that you are ready to begin using your Xi3 NUC.
Move Data onto your Xi3 NUC
If you purchased your Xi3 NUC with certain Software Applications pre-installed on
your machine, you should be able to see and use these programs once you have
turned on your computer.
Loading additional Software Applications onto your Xi3 NUC can be accomplished
either by downloading/installing these programs via the Internet or by
transferring/installing the programs from a DVD/CD disc or USB drive onto your
Xi3 NUC.
