    Appendix A – Troubles Shooting Problems setting up Newly installed memory fails during Self-Test or is not detected. Possible Cause: The Memory SO-DIMM module may not be properly seated or may not be supported by RAID SYSTEM. Fix: Re-sit the memory module in the socket and retry. If it continues to fail try moving it to the other memory socket.

Fix: Make sure the Write Buffer option of the RAID Params menu is enabled. In addition, more cache memory may be required. By increasing the cache memory, the write buffer space increases and will be able to handle the higher write requests.
