1.9  
Real-Time Clock Subsystem  
A coin-cell 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 on page 3 shows the location of the battery.  
CAUTION  
Risk of explosion if the battery is replaced with an incorrect type. Batteries should be recycled  
where possible. Disposal of used batteries must be in accordance with local environmental  
regulations.

Power Management  
1.13.1.1  
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 10 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.

wake is controlled by OS driver, not just BIOS option.  
3. Windows 10 Fast startup will block wake from LAN, USB, and CIR from S5.  
NOTE  
The use of these wake-up events from an ACPI state requires an operating system that provides  
full ACPI support. In addition, software, drivers, and peripherals must fully support ACPI wake  
events.  
1.13.2  
Hardware Support  
The boards provide several power management hardware features, including:  
Wake from Power Button signal  
Instantly Available PC technology  
LAN wake capabilities  
Wake from USB (not after G3)  
WAKE# signal wake-up support on PCIe  
Wake from S5  
Wake from CIR  
+5 V Standby Power Indicator LED  
NOTE  
The use of Wake from USB from an ACPI state requires an operating system that provides full  
ACPI support.  
23  
 
Power Management  
1.13.2.1  
Power Input  
When resuming from an AC power failure, the computer returns 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.  
1.13.2.2  
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  
only supplying Standby power, and the front panel LED will be amber or secondary color 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 11 on page 23 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 M.2 add-in card.  
1.13.2.3  
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.  
1.13.2.4  
Wake from USB  
USB bus activity wakes the computer from an ACPI S3 state (not after G3).  
NOTE  
Wake from USB requires the use of a USB peripheral that supports Wake from USB.  
1.13.2.5  
WAKE# Signal Wake-up Support  
When the WAKE# signal on the PCI Express bus is asserted, the computer wakes from an ACPI S3  
or S4 state.  
1.13.2.6  
Wake from S5  
When the RTC Date and Time is set in the BIOS, the computer will automatically wake from an  
ACPI S5 state.  
1.13.2.7  
Wake from Consumer IR  
CIR activity wakes the computer from an ACPI S3, S4, or S5 state.  
1.13.2.8  
+5 V Standby Power Indicator LED  
The standby power indicator LED shows that power is still present even when the computer  
appears to be off. Figure 8 shows the location of the standby power LED.  
24  
Power Management  
CAUTION  
If AC power has been switched off and the standby power indicator is still lit, disconnect the power  
cord before installing or removing any devices connected to the board. Failure to do so could  
damage the board and any attached devices.  
Figure 8. Location of the Standby Power LED

Power Management  
1.13.3  
Microsoft Modern Standby Support  
Intel NUC Products NUC10i3FN/NUC10i5FN/NUC10i7FN support Windows* 10 Modern Standby,  
Microsoft’s implementation of ACPI low power S0 idle (aka, S0iX). This allows the system to  
reduce power consumption and only wake when necessary, as for system maintenance tasks or  
user intervention. Modern Standby is required for Wake-on-Voice capability.  
NOTES  
You cannot switch between ACPI S3 and Modern Standby. Standby power model switching is only  
supported with a complete operating system reinstallation. Switching from one standby power  
model to another will prevent the proper functioning of sleep states.  
Updating BIOS or resetting BIOS to defaults will preserve the current standby power model.

Intel® Virtualization Technology  
Intel Virtualization Technology (Intel® VT) is a hardware-assisted technology that, when  
combined with software-based virtualization solutions, provides maximum system utilization by  
consolidating multiple environments into a single server or client.  
NOTE  
A processor with Intel VT does not guarantee that virtualization will work on your system. Intel VT  
requires a computer system with a chipset, BIOS, enabling software and/or operating system,  
device drivers, and applications designed for this feature.

Platform Security  
1.14.2  
Intel® Platform Trust Technology  
Intel® Platform Trust Technology (Intel® PTT) is a platform functionality for credential storage and  
key management. Intel® PTT supports Microsoft* BitLocker* Drive Encryption for hard drive  
encryption and supports all Microsoft requirements for firmware Trusted Platform Module (fTPM)  
2.0 for client computers.  
NOTE  
Support for fTPM version 2.0 requires a UEFI-enabled operating system, such as Microsoft*  
Windows* 10.  
CAUTION  
BIOS recovery using the BIOS security jumper clears Intel® Platform Trust Technology (Intel® PTT)  
keys. These keys will not be restored after the BIOS recovery. Disable HDD encryption like  
BitLocker and other uses of data encryption and authentication before using BIOS recovery.

Memory Resources  
2.1.1  
Addressable Memory  
The board utilizes a maximum of 64 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 64 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 Mb)  
Local APIC (19 MB)  
Direct Media Interface (40 MB)  
PCI Express configuration space (256 MB)  
PCH base address registers PCI Express ports (up to 256 MB)  
Memory-mapped I/O that is dynamically allocated for M.2 add-in cards (256 MB)  
Integrated graphics shared memory (up to 512 MB; 64 MB by default)  
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.

Power Supply Considerations  
System power requirements will depend on actual system configurations chosen by the  
integrator, as well as end user expansion preferences. It is the system integrator’s responsibility  
to ensure an appropriate power budget for the system configuration is properly assessed based  
on the system-level components chosen.

Thermal Considerations  
CAUTION  
A chassis with a maximum temperature of 50 oC at the processor fan inlet is recommended. If the  
internal ambient temperature exceeds 50 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.

Technical Reference  
Table 31 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 31. 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 32. 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.

BIOS Features

Overview of BIOS Features  
3.1  
Introduction  
The board uses Intel 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 Visual BIOS  
Setup program, POST, the PCI auto-configuration utility, embedded controller (EC) firmware, LAN  
EEPROM information, and Plug and Play support.  
The BIOS displays a message during POST identifying the type of BIOS and a revision code. The  
production BIOSes are identified as FNCML357.  
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.  
3.2  
3.3  
BIOS Flash Memory Organization  
The Serial Peripheral Interface Flash Memory (SPI Flash) includes a 64 Mb 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  
51  
BIOS Features  
to install an operating system that supports USB. By default, Legacy USB support is set to  
Enabled.  
Legacy USB support operates as follows:  
1. When you first 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 and the maintenance menu.  
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.  
3.5  
BIOS Updates  
The BIOS can be updated using one of the following methods:  
Intel Express BIOS Update, which enables automated updating while in the Windows  
environment. 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 Flash Memory Update Utility, which requires booting from DOS. 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).  
Pressing <F7> key during POST allows a user to select where the BIOS .bio file is located and  
perform the update from that location/device. Similar to performing a BIOS Recovery without  
removing the BIOS configuration jumper.  
Intel BIOS has an option to update the BIOS from a valid .bio file located on a hard disk or  
USB drive. Enter Intel BIOS by pressing <F2> during POST.  
Using Front Panel power button menu option  
The update BIOS will be verified that it 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.

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 34 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.

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. If the optical drive is not bootable, it will be ignored during the POST  
process.  
3.7.1  
Network Boot  
The network can be selected as a boot device. This selection allows booting from the onboard  
LAN.  
Pressing the <F12> key during POST automatically forces booting from the LAN. To use this key  
during POST, the User Access Level in the BIOS Setup program's Security menu must be  
set to Full.”  
NOTE  
When no bootable disk or USB device is found, the system will default to network boot.  
3.7.2  
Booting Without Attached Devices (Headless)  
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 monitor  
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 35 lists the boot device menu options.

BIOS Features  
3.7.4  
Power Button Menu  
As an alternative to normal POST Hotkeys, the user can use the power button to access a  
menu. The Power Button Menu is accessible via the following sequence:  
1. System is in S4/S5 (soft off); will not work if system is in G3 (after “no power” state)  
2. User pushes the power button and holds it down for 3 seconds  
3. The front panel power button LED will change from blue to amber then the user can release  
the power button.  
4. User releases the power button before the 4-second shutdown override can occur.  
If this path is taken, the BIOS will use default 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]  
Intel Visual BIOS  
Disable Fast Boot†  
BIOS Recovery  
Update BIOS  
[F10] Enter Boot Menu  
[F12] Network Boot  
[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 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.

BIOS Features  
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 password characters are A-Z, a-z, and 0-9.  
Passwords may be up to 19 characters in length.  
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 36 shows the effects of setting the Hard Disk Drive Passwords.

During every POST, if a User hard disk drive password is set, POST execution will pause with the  
following prompt to force the user to enter the Master Key or User hard disk drive password:  
Enter Hard Disk Drive Password:  
Upon successful entry of the Master Key or User hard disk drive password, the system will  
continue with normal POST.  
If the hard disk drive password is not correctly entered, the system will go back to the above  
prompt. The user will have three attempts to correctly enter the hard disk drive password. After  
the third unsuccessful hard disk drive password attempt, the system will halt with the message:  
Hard Disk Drive Password Entry Error  
A manual power cycle will be required to resume system operation.  
NOTE  
As implemented on Intel NUC Board NUC10i3FNB, Intel NUC Board NUC10i5FNB and Intel NUC  
Board NUC10i7FNB, Hard Disk Drive Password Security is only supported on either SATA port 0  
(M.2 ) or SATA Port 1 (onboard SATA connector). 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.

BIOS Features  
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.  
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 password characters are A-Z, a-z, and 0-9. Passwords may be up to 20 characters in  
length.  
To clear a set password, enter a blank password after entering the existing password.  
Table 37 shows the effects of setting the supervisor password and user password. This table is  
for reference only and is not displayed on the screen.
