Add a RAM Module on DiskStation

The optional Synology DDR3 RAM module is designed for DiskStation memory expansion. Follow the steps
below to install, check, or remove a RAM module on your DiskStation.
To install the RAM module:
1 Shut down your DiskStation. Disconnect all cables connected to your DiskStation to prevent any possible
damages.
2 The RAM modules are located at the bottom of DS1817+.
3 Remove the 4 screws that secure the bottom panel. Lift off the panel and place it to the side. You will see there
is one pre-installed 2G RAM module.

4 Insert the new memory module in the slot:
a Align the notch on the gold edge of the module with the notch in the slot.
b Tilt the card and insert the module into the slot. Make sure the module is properly inserted.
c Push down on the memory module with moderate pressure until you hear a click.

5 Replace the bottom panel. Replace and tighten the 4 screws you removed in step 3.
6 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). (See the next chapter for more information.)
2 Log in to 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, confirm that the memory is
installed correctly.

To remove the RAM Module:

1 Follow step 1 and 2 of the “To install the RAM module:” section to shut down your DiskStation, disconnect the
cables, and then remove the bottom panel.
2 Push the levers on both sides of the memory module outwards. The module will be released from the slot

3 Hold the memory module by its notches and remove it from the slot.
4 Replace the bottom panel. Replace and tighten the screws removed in step 1.
5 Reconnect the cables removed in step 1. Now, you may turn on your DiskStation.
