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 DS1517+.
3 Remove the 4 screws that secure the bottom lid. Lift off the lid and place it to the side. You will see one 2GB
module or two 4GB modules pre-installed.
Important:
When you remove the lid, you expose sensitive internal components. Avoid touching anything other than
the memory assembly when you remove or add memory.
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 lower memory 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.

Important:
Hold the memory module by its edges, and do not touch the golden connectors.
Note:
1. Always install the RAM module into Slot 1 first.
2. When two RAM modules are installed, both of them must be identical.
3. Synology will not provide complete product warranty or technical support if non-Synology RAM modules are used
for memory upgrade.
5 Replace the bottom lid. 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.
