Follow the instructions to install the RAM and SSD on the NUC:
Remove the phillips screws in the bottom feet of the NUC.
Install the RAM.
Remove the phillips screw that will hold the SSD in place (phillips screwdriver with magnetic tip is useful here).
Install the SSD.
Screw the SSD in place using screw from Step 3.
Replace bottom and screw feet back in.
(Optional) Apply fuchsia logo.
