Add a RAM Module on Synology NAS

The optional Synology DDR3 RAM module is designed for Synology NAS memory expansion. Follow the steps

below to install, check, or remove a RAM module on your Synology NAS.

To install a RAM module:

1 Shut down your Synology NAS. Disconnect all cables connected to your Synology NAS to prevent any possible

damages.

2 The RAM modules are located at the bottom of DS620slim.

3 Remove the 4 screws that secure the bottom panel. Lift up the panel and place it to the side. You will see a

pre-installed 2G RAM module.

Important: When you remove the panel, the sensitive internal components are exposed. Avoid touching anything

other than the memory assembly when you remove or add a memory module.

4 Insert the new memory module into 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.
