When to Install RAM in New DS920+: Initial Setup or After

[BikerGeek]

Just got my DS920+ and my drives (2 16GB) are arriving today. I also ordered a memory upgrade and the question I had is...should I do the initial spin up w/o the memory upgrade installed, or should I add that module and then spin up the initialization with the memory in it? Does it matter? Thanks!

Doesnt matter. Why not install it immediately?

While I would suggest spinning up with the upgraded memory, it might be good to test it "stock" 1st just to see if all is in order. If it works, then upgrade and see how it holds up.
Just my 2c

On both 720+’s, the first power up were ‘full up’: drives. Ram, NVME Cache no different than drives only on 718+
