Chapter 2: Hardware Setup
Add a Memory Module on DiskStation
The optional Synology memory module is designed for DiskStation memory expansion. Follow the steps below to
install, check, or remove a memory module on your DiskStation.
To install a memory module:
1
Shut down your DiskStation. Disconnect all cables connected to your DiskStation to prevent any possible
damages.
2
Remove the two hard drive trays from the two drive bays. An empty memory slot is located on the inner right
side of your DiskStation.
Important:
When you remove the drive trays, you expose sensitive internal components. Avoid touching anything
other than the memory assembly when you remove or add a memory module.
3
Insert the new memory module into the empty slot:
a
Align the notch on the gold contacts of the memory module with the notch on the empty slot. Insert the
memory module into the slot. Make sure the module is properly inserted.
b
Push down on the memory module with moderate pressure until you hear a click.
Important:
Hold the memory module by its edge, and do not touch the gold contacts.
Note:
Synology will not provide complete product warranty or technical support if a non-Synology memory module is
used for memory upgrade.
4
Insert the two hard drive trays back into the hard drive bays.
5
Reconnect the cables you removed in step 1, and then press and hold the power button to turn on your
DiskStation.
To make sure DiskStation recognizes the new memory capacity:
1
Install DiskStation Manager (DSM). Please see the next chapter for more information.
2
Log into DSM as
admin
or a user belonging to the
administrators
group.
3
Check
Total Physical Memory
in
Control Panel
>
Info Center
.
If your DiskStation does not recognize the memory or does not start up successfully, please make sure that the
memory module is installed correctly.
