If you have a 5220 that you purchased with one shelf then it will have enough memory for when you have 2 shelves - no need to worry about upgrading it

Only the version that comes as a header unit only has less memory - once it has the SATA Card for a shelf it will have the memory to cope with 2 shelves

So no need to upgrade or worry

If you do want to check then go into the O/S (Support - Maintenance - P@ssw0rd - elevate) and type:

cat /proc/meminfo

Hope this helps
