Synology DS920+ RAM Upgrade Issue? - Enquiries - 02-28-2020
After watching and reading numerous posts here, I purchased a DS920+ for my Plex server. I had gotten about 5 docker containers setup for VPN's, Sonarr, etc. as well as the native app installation for Plex. Since the memory usage was getting fairly high without a high load on the system just yet, I bought a 16GB RAM module that was recommended in one of the channel's articles. After installing the RAM module, my DS920+ no longer boots up properly and the power button just flashes. If the RAM module is removed, things go back to normal. Am I just not able to use a 16GB RAM module?
RAM Module title and specs from Amazon:
Timetec Hynix IC
16GB DDR4 2666MHz PC4-21300
Unbuffered Non-ECC 1.2V CL19
2Rx8 Dual Rank 260 Pin SODIMM

Before you upgrade, make sure you have the latest DSM.If it still doesn't work, RAM sticks might be faulty or not compatible - we recommend Crucial RAM.I hope this helps.
