Add a RAM Module on RackStation
Synology offers RAM modules which allow you to expand the memory capacity of your RackStation. To install,
check, or remove your RAM module, please follow the steps below.
Install a RAM Module
1
Shut down the RackStation and disconnect all connected cables to prevent any possible damage.
2
Unscrew the two knobs that secure the back panel. Pull out the panel to reveal the circuit board.
Important:
When you pull out the panel, you expose sensitive internal components. Avoid touching anything other
than the memory assembly when you remove or add memory.
3
To insert the new memory module, follow the steps below:
a
Align the notch on the gold edge of the module with the notch in the memory slot.
b
Tilt the card and push the memory into the slot. Make sure the module is pushed in all the way.
c
Use two fingers to apply firm, even pressure and push the memory module downward. You should hear a
click when the memory is inserted correctly.
Important:
Hold the memory module by its edges, and do not touch the gold connectors.
