Upgrade Memory on QNAP Turbo NAS (RAM Module
Installation)
Warning:
The following instructions should only be performed by an authorized or trained
technician.
Strictly adhere to the instructions in this section to install RAM modules in NAS. Failure
to do so could result in property damage, bodily harm or even death.
The TES-x85U series allows users to upgrade the memory in their QNAP NAS devices.
Ensure that the type of RAM is compatible with the NAS before installing. To determine how
much memory is currently in the system, log into QES/QTS as administrator and go to
“Control Panel” > “System Settings” > “System Status” to open the System Status window.
Under System Information, check for System memory or Total memory.
Carefully follow the steps below:
1. Power off the NAS. Wait for device to fully power down.
2. Disconnect power cord(s), network cable(s), and any other cables attached to the
device.
3. Before opening the NAS, wear an antistatic wrist strap and connect the crocodile clamp
to ground to prevent electrostatic discharge from damaging equipment.
4. Loosen the 2 screws on the back of the NAS located on the handle.
