Holy crap this is taking forever. I upgraded the RAM in the NAS more than 30 minutes ago and I'm still waiting for it to boot. The power light is flashing but no ports open and DSM is unresponsive.


Off to DuckDuckGo and what do I find: this is normal for a DS1618+ after RAM upgrade.

Startup delays are caused by memory checks. This is normal and will only occur once after each memory modification. Depending on the size of the memory installed, the check may take up to ten minutes. The Power LED will be blinking during this time.
