inner components, or circuit boards of your NAS.
• ASUSTOR does not guarantee that third party memory modules w ill work in your NAS.
• Be sure to turn off your NAS and peripherals and disconnect all attachments and
connection cables before adding or removing memory modules.
• To prevent damage from electrostatic discharge to memory modules, follow the
instructions below:
Do not work at a location that produces static electricity easily, such as on a carpet.
Before adding or removing memory modules, touch an external metal object other

damage to the module or slot, or cause the circuit board to catch fire.
