How to Install Synology 4GB DDR3 SDRAM Memory Module

Upgrading your Synology NAS with the 4GB DDR3 SDRAM module is straightforward and designed to minimize downtime. Follow these steps to ensure a proper, safe installation that maximizes compatibility and performance:

• Power down and unplug: Turn off the NAS, disconnect the power supply, and wait for any internal components to cool before handling hardware.
• Prepare a safe workspace: Work on a clean, static-free surface. If possible, use an anti-static wrist strap or periodically ground yourself to prevent ESD damage.
• Access the memory compartment: Locate the memory expansion slot cover on your NAS. Depending on the model, you may need to remove a cover or access panel to reach the DIMM slot.
• Align the module correctly: Hold the memory module by its edges and align the notches with the slot key. Ensure the module is oriented so it slides in flat without bending.
• Insert and seat the module: Gently insert the module at a slight angle and then press down evenly until the latches click and the module is securely seated in the slot.
• Reassemble and power on: Replace any covers, reconnect power, and boot the NAS. After the system starts, check the DSM (DiskStation Manager) interface under System Information to verify that the new memory is recognized and available.
• Verify in DSM: In DSM, navigate to the appropriate section (often under System Summary or Resource Monitor) to confirm total memory now reflects the upgraded capacity.

Frequently asked questions

• Q: Is it essential to use an authentic Synology memory module? A: While some third-party memory can work in certain NAS models, Synology recommends using authentic Synology memory to ensure compatibility, performance, and warranty protection. Using official modules reduces the risk of incompatibility and post-install issues.
• Q: Will upgrading to 4GB improve my NAS performance? A: In most cases, yes. Increasing memory provides headroom for concurrent tasks, larger caches, and smoother operation when running multiple services, indexing, or lightweight virtual machines. The exact performance gain depends on your NAS model and workload.
• Q: Which NAS models support memory expansion with this module? A: Compatibility varies by model. Check Synology’s official compatibility lists for your specific NAS model to confirm supported memory configurations before purchasing.
• Q: Will installing extra memory void my warranty? A: If you install an authentic Synology memory module in a NAS model that supports memory expansion and you follow Synology’s installation guidelines, warranty coverage remains intact. Using non-Synology or unsupported memory may affect warranty terms.
• Q: How do I know if the memory is recognized after installation? A: After powering on the NAS, open DSM and go to System Information or Resource Monitor. The system should display the total installed memory. If you don’t see the expected memory, power down and recheck the module seating.
