Zip-Tie for RAM ? Warranty or Transport thing ?

Hi,

I have question about QNAP NAS I got recently (Ts-h2477AUX-7-32G) and I noticed that RAM stick inside box is ZIP-tied around 32GB slot of RAM is ZIP tied with plastic ZIP-tie?

Is that something in factory done for transport purposes so that RAM doesn’t stick out while UPS delivery across world? OR is some kind of “warranty VOID” trick, so I can’t remove RAM stick (for adding more if I like ?).

So, long story short should I cut/remove that ZIP-tie or it has to stay?

Probably just done to prevent those clips from opening.

Ok, that was my assumption/hope as well but wanted to ask first.
So basically i should “cut” that ZIP-tie before use.

Thanks

That Zip-tie should not impede usage, so you could leave that in place as well.

If you want to swap the RAM, it would need to go of course (make sure you retain the original RAM)

The cable tie shown in your photo is there to prevent parts from coming loose during shipping — it has nothing to do with the warranty. You’re welcome to remove it if you’d like, but please be careful not to damage any other components.

Thanks Steve, that was what I thought but wanted to be sure/confirm before i remove it :).
