You need to install a disk then update the firmware.

1. Insert a disk
2. Update to the latest firmware (be sure to verify that the firmware update is successful)
3. Power down the NAS and insert other disks if you wish
4. Do a factory reset (http://www.readynas.com/kb/faq/boot/how_do_i_use_the_boot_menu) to get a clean setup on the latest firmware.


Do note that 3rd party memory upgrades are unsupported and you may be denied help to recover data if 3rd party memory causes data corruption and in any case will be expected to put the stock memory module back in before they can assist (so do keep it). Have a read of http://www.readynas.com/?page_id=83

Also note that memory manufacturers have been known to change memory modules rendering them incompatible without changing the module number, so your module may not be compatible.

If you upgrade the memory be sure to run the memory test (http://www.readynas.com/kb/faq/hardware/is_there_a_way_i_can_verify_if_my_memory_is_good) at least twice before trusting the memory.
