Add a RAM Module on DiskStation
Synology RAM module 1GB/2GB is designed for DiskStation memory expansion, and is optional for your choice.
Follow the steps below to install, check, or remove your RAM module.
Install the RAM Module
1
Press and hold the power button until you hear a beep sound to shut down your DiskStation. Disconnect all
cables connected to your DiskStation to prevent any possible damages.
2
Remove the 2 screws that secure the side cover. Then remove the cover and place it aside.
Important:
When you pull out the cover, you expose sensitive internal components. Avoid touching anything other
than the memory assembly when you remove or add memory.
3
Insert the new memory module in the slot:
a
Align the notch on the gold edge of the module with the notch in the lower 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 with firm, even pressure to push down on the memory module. You should hear a click
when the memory is inserted correctly.
