I wanted to get a dual 16GBx2 Kit but the item was out of stock. For this, I did some research and order the two pieces of Crucial 16GB DDR4 2666 MT/s (PC4-21300) SODIMM 260-Pin Memory – CT16G4SFD8266 from Amazon.

Next, let us take a look at upgrading the RAM of the Mac Mini 2018. Anyway, the most important thing is that the issue does not recur (touch wood) anymore.
DISPLAY FOR MAC MINI 2018 SOFTWARE
As I did not perform any system or software updates after I completed the initial setup, the only likely reason I can think of is that the initial setup using my TV has changed or made some settings that somehow corrected the display settings required for the Mac Mini 2018 to work properly on the Dell UltraSharp U2717D Widescreen Monitor.
I tried a couple more days with other permutations of cables and adapters but I could not replicate the initial problem with the display monitor that I have encountered. Nevertheless, after that, I did not encounter any other incidents of not able to boot the Mac Mini 2018 using either of my Dell UltraSharp U2717D Widescreen Monitor. After these, I switched back to the High-Speed HDMI Cable and the Thunderbolt 3 to HDMI cable that I started off with. I then used a Thunderbolt 3 to DisplayPort Cable that I just ordered from Amazon. 😛 This time, much to my surprise, the Mac Mini 2018 booted up! I tried recycling the power a few more times and all resulted in success. Sorry for the messy cable in this picture though. The next thing I tried was to use the original Apple USB-C Digital AV Multiport Adapter and High-Speed HDMI Cable to connect to the Dell UltraSharp U2717D Widescreen Monitor. 😀Īfter successfully setting up the Mac Mini 2018, my next task was to get the whole thing working properly on my dual monitor configuration. Take a look at the macOS Mojave screen on my TV after the setup was completed. The whole installation process took less than 10 minutes to complete on this amazingly fast machine. I was guided through the selection of Language, Region, Keyboard and finally Wi-Fi network.
Hey Presto! I got the macOS Mojave setup screen almost instantaneously. To eliminate the possibility of cables and ports issues with the Mac Mini 2018, I connected it to my Sony 55 inch 4K LED TV and gave it a go.

are fine as my PC and the old Mac Mini are both working fine on them. I’m pretty sure my monitors (yes, I have 2 of the Dell UltraSharp U2717D Widescreen Monitor). I tried Apple Support but they wanted me to send my brand new Mac Mini 2018 back to them for diagnostics which I’m a bit reluctant. I did some googling and discovered that there are also others that had similar issues but they were on other models of monitors. I tried using a High-Speed HDMI Cable and a Thunderbolt 3 to HDMI cable, all yielding the same results. However, there is no display on my Dell UltraSharp U2717D Widescreen Monitor. After connecting the minimum supporting elements and powering on the Mac Mini 2018, I was able to get the front LED to be lighted up. However, much to my disappointment, I encountered something that was very weird.
Usually, based on the user-friendliness of Apple products, the setup of the Mac Mini 2018 should be a breeze and a no brainer. Display (via either HDMI or Thunderbolt 3 or USB-C).To start off the setup of the Mac Mini 2018, the minimum connectivity and supporting devices/elements required would be,
In this second part, I’ll cover the issues I faced with the setup and also the upgrades I did to the Mac Mini 2018. The first part started off with the unboxing of the new Mac Mini 2018. This is a multi-part review of Apple’s new Mac Mini 2018 just released recently in Nov 2018.
