2.5″ SATA ribbon connector
Screwdriverhttps://novacustom.com/storage/NUC-Box-sata-ribbon-connector.png

Place the NUC Box upside down on a soft surface.

This prevents scratches on the NUC Box.

Then remove all the screws using the screwdriver.

Pick up the NUC Box and turn it over carefully.

Then grab the top case at all corners.

Lift it off the bottom.

Unscrew the two black screws.

Turn the bottom over and remove the other two screws on the opposite side.

Carefully lift the SATA holder from the bottom of the case

Place the SATA drive into the SATA holder

Note: it only fits one way.

Screw in the 4 screws at the indicated points.

Place the new SATA holder exactly on the 4 points where the screws go.

Note: it only fits one way.

Screw in the 4 screws at the indicated points.

Connect the SATA connector to the motherboard.

Connect the other end to the SATA drive

Note: do this carefully, it is fragile

Place the bottom of the NUC Box in the correct position.

Make sure the arrow labeled “front” is actually pointing to the front.

Check this by slightly lifting the front of the NUC Box.

Use the screwdriver to put the screws back in place. Note: do not overtighten the screws. This makes it very difficult to remove them later if needed.

The new bottom is now installed.

Well done!
