We already have a NUC image prepared. It was copied onto a SSD which, in combination with an USB stick with Clonezilla, can be used to 'flash' new NUCs.

Install Procedure

  1. Insert both the SSD (via an USB adapter) and the stick with clonezilla into the NUC and power it on.
  2. Press F10 to get into the boot menu, and select the image on the clonezilla stick
  3. The process of using Clonezilla has already been documented here.
  4. Make sure to select 850_EVO as source - this is the image on the SSD. The NUCs usually use an M2 stick.
