No, but it's not difficult. You need to remove the skin on the left side of the chassis (facing the front of the unit), and you'll see the RAM slots. In my case, only one of the two slots was used.
You want pc6400 ddr2 800mhz 240 pin DIMM (non-ECC, unbuffered). https://www.crucial.com/memory/ddr2/ct25664aa800 is one option that should work.

Since the unit doesn't use dual-channel RAM, you can upgrade the empty slot to more if you like with no speed penalty for the banks being mismatched. Up to 2GB sticks are available cheap. 4GB 2Rx8 ("low density", as opposed to 2Rx4 "high density") are needed and are not as common and the board can't support more than 8GB total.

I downloaded ssh and did an ls command. Here is the output. Can you advise what you see here? I am concerned as l have allot of folders that appear to have these ?? folders but l cannot cd into them. Any advice?

I'm not sure where you are here.
- Have you converted to OS-6?
- Did you log into the NAS using root as the username (using the admin password)?
Your directory list doesn't look right. This is what I see on my Pro-6 (recently converted to OS-6)
