How to install Synology 8GB DDR4 SDRAM Memory Module

Installing this memory module is a straightforward upgrade for compatible Synology storage servers. Begin by powering down the NAS and unplugging it from power. Ground yourself to prevent static discharge and prepare a clean workspace. Remove the NAS cover or access panel according to your model’s manual to reach the memory slots. If there are existing modules, you may need to release the slot locks or springs before inserting the new SoDIMM. Hold the memory by the edges and align the notch with the slot to ensure correct orientation. Insert the module at the appropriate angle (usually a slight tilt) and press down evenly until the latches click into place, securing the module firmly. Reinstall any covers, reconnect power, and boot the device. Access the NAS interface (such as DSM) to verify that the new 8GB module is detected and listed under memory or system information. If you plan to expand further, refer to your model’s memory guidance to avoid exceeding supported limits. After installation, monitor system health and perform a basic workload test to confirm stability and improved performance.
