Board Height Dimensions 4.3 Thermal Considerations 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.
Technical Reference 4.4 Reliability The demonstrated Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) is done through 24/7 testing. Full Intel® NUC systems in chassis with memory, SSD or HDD, and a fan are ran at 100% on time for 90 days continuously while running system wide stress inducing software in a 40 °C ambient air temperature chamber. The demonstrated MTBF for Intel NUC Board NUC11TN is >50,000 hours. 4.5 Environmental Table 20 lists the environmental specifications for the board.

Technical Reference 5 Overview of BIOS Features 5.1 Introduction The board uses an Intel AMI BIOS core that is stored in the Serial Peripheral Interface Flash Memory (SPI Flash) and can be updated through multiple methods (see Section 5.2). The SPI Flash contains the BIOS Setup program, POST, the PCI auto-configuration utility, LAN EEPROM information, and Plug and Play support. The SPI Flash includes a 32 MB flash memory device.
Intel NUC Board/Kit/Mini PC NUC11TN{X} Technical Product Specification NOTE The network can be selected as a boot device. This selection allows booting from the onboard LAN or a network add-in card with a remote boot ROM installed. Pressing the 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. 5.3.
Technical Reference 5.4 [F7] Update BIOS BIOS Update during the BDS phrase. The BIOS will update independent of any OS loading and provides a menu UI accessible during boot up. This is not a recovery tool and will not overwrite a corrupt BIOS or ME firmware. [F9] Remote Assistance Note: Will only be displayed if Remote Assistance is supported.
Intel NUC Board/Kit/Mini PC NUC11TN{X} Technical Product Specification 5.5 BIOS Security Features The BIOS includes security features that restrict access to the BIOS Setup program and who can boot the computer. A Supervisor and User password can be set for the BIOS Setup program and for botting 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 Supervisor Mode.
Technical Reference CMOS Timer Not Set The battery may be losing power. Replace the battery soon. Processor Thermal Trip Processor overheated. Auto RTC Reset The system triggers RTC clear to recover the system back to the normal condition from consecutive boot failure.
