Update HC2 to 3gb of ram

[MDC 78]

Hello,

This weekend i had curiosity to see what's inside of HC2....so i take a screwdriver and open...

First thing that i saw was an empty ram slot.

I found in my pc closed 2 gb OF RAM......so i updated.

 

What i noticed is that the system work more fast now, is booting faster and seems to load all faster....hope is not only in my mind

Ram usage drop from 23-24% to 16-17%

Nice one,

Before I started my HC2 adventure I read somewhere on some forum I cant find anymore people upgrading to 4gig.

 

Could be a nice side project some day.

Can you post the spec of the memory module, please?

One HC2 I have T my office for R & D crashed beyond recovery and I couldn´t resist looking into the BIOS amongst other things. What suprised me was a notification about reduction of installed RAM. This notofocation was not due to any action of mine so it seem to me that fibaro add more RAM to box for setup purposes and remove it  again before final assembly....

It's likely that this is a residual from testing/validating both RAM slots as part of the manufacturing process

You´re probably right.  It just crossed my mind while I was waiting for one HC2 to update from 4.056 that this process could might be a bit more speedy with more memory. But then again the fibaro OS is rather small so why should it...

Here's the forum posts that talk about upgrading the ram. One is in Italian and the other is from the French fibaro site forum. Just put them in Google translate and select "translate website"

â € ¢ 1.5V DDR3-800 and DDR3-1066 SO-DIMMs with gold-plated contacts 
â € ¢ Unbuffered, non-ECC, Raw Card B (1Rx8) and Raw Card-F (2Rx8) SO-DIMMs only 
â € ¢ Single-sided double-sided gold modules 
â € ¢ 4 GB maximum total system memory

Put 4gb memory from my iMac 27 late 2012.

It works!
