Chapter 2: Hardware Setup
Add a RAM Module
Follow the steps below to install, check, or remove a RAM module.
To install a RAM module:
1
Shut down your DiskStation. Disconnect all cables from your DiskStation to prevent any possible damage.
2
Remove the 2 screws on the right side of the back panel, and then pull the side cover in the direction as
illustrated below. Place the screws and the cover aside.
Important:
When you remove the side cover, you expose sensitive internal components. Avoid touching anything other
than the memory assembly when you insert or remove a RAM module.
3
Insert a new RAM module into the memory slot:
a
Align the notch on the gold edge of the module with the memory slot key (i.e. the notch in the memory slot).
b
Firmly push the module into the slot at a 45 degree angle. The RAM module is properly inserted when you
hear the retaining clips snap into place.
