Chapter 5. Upgrade Memory on QNAP Turbo NAS (RAM Module
Installation)
Warning:
The following instructions should only be performed by an authorized and trained
technician.
Strictly adhere to the instructions to install a RAM module on the NAS. F ailure to do so
could result in injury to human body or death.
Before starting, please ensure that you turn off the NAS, disconnect the power
adaptor, network cable(s), and also remove any other device/cable that is attached to the NAS.
Please ensure that you wear an antistatic wrist strap during the entire process to
prevent electrostatic discharge. The crocodile clip should be connected to the ground.
When installing more than one memory module, it is recommended to use the same
size and ideally the same type/model in every slot.
QNAP provides different RAM modules (optional purchase) through its resellers for users to upgrade the NAS memory. Use of non-QNAP RAM modules may cause system instability. Follow the below steps to install an extra memory module on the NAS to upgrade the memory.
Follow the steps below to install a R AM module on the NAS.

5. Gently press the memory mod ule into the slot until it is seated fully.
6. Rotate the memory module towards the motherboard until the securing clips clicks into
place.
7. Close the case cover and fasten the screws. Connect the power adaptor and cables
back to the NAS.
8. To check that the memory module is recognized by the NAS, power up the NAS and
login the web interface as an administrator. Go to “System Status”>“System Information” and check the total memory in “Hardware Information”.

5.4 TS-1635

1. Loosen the screws o n the back of the NAS that are connecting the case cover to the case.
44
2. Gently remove case cover from case.
3. T o remove i nstalled memory modules, gently pull the retention clips outwards on each side so that the module tilts up at a 45-degree angle for easy removal. Remove module.
45
4. Hold the memory module by grasping its edges. Align the notch on the RAM module with the ridge in the memory socket. Slide the memory module into the socket at a 45-degree angle. Ensure that the module is firmly inserted into slot.
Note: Memory module must be installed in the primary slot (red outline in photo). System will fail to start if primary slot is empty. The maximum supported memory per

Chapter 8. Install M.2 SSDs

8.1 M.2 SSD Heat Sink Installation

NAS models that support M.2 SSDs are packaged with M.2 SSD heat sinks. For reliable operation, it is recommended that you install the hea t sinks onto the SSD controller.
To insta ll heat sink:
1. Locate the SSD controller on the M.2 SSD. Location of S SD controller varies by model.
Refer to SSD manufacturer for details.
2. Remove any existing stickers or labels on the controller.
3. Remove the release liner from bottom of the heat sink.
4. Stick heat sink onto the controller. No thermal paste required.

1. The system has four M.2 SSD slots that are located on the bottom of the system. The
storage capacity of the system can be upgrade d by adding M .2 SSD modules to vacant M.2 SSD slots or by upgrading existing M.2 SSD modules. The following procedure demonstrates how to add/replace M.2 SSD m odules. To remove the bottom cover, first remove the rubbe r fee t. Ne xt, unscr ew the four scr ews i nsta lle d on the four corne rs of
97
the bottom cover by turning them counterclockwise.
2. TBS-453A supports 3 different sizes of M.2 SSD (2242, 2260, and 2280). Move and
fasten the riser screw to the appropriate location according your M.2 SSD size. Then insert the M.2 SSD to the slot and secure it in place with the supplied screws.
3. Secure the bottom cover back to the system by installing the screws of four corners
(clockwise). Then put the rubber feet back as well.
98
