Hello everyone, today i did my second memory upgrade to 1gig  of a 3200 so i decided to do a manual of this second one!

Let Start!!

The first thing you need to do is yes of course backing up your controller!

The secondt thing you need to do is rebooting the controller and when its booting up you need to press any key example enter enter enter :)

Until you get in the cpboot like this:

CPBoot 1.2.0.0 (build 20527)

                 Capacity: 502.0 MB = 0.4 GB (1028160 x 512)

Hit any key to stop autoboot:  0

 As you see DRAM  says its 512mb

When you are in the cpboot you need to issue the next command: eye_finder

Like this:

cpboot> eye_finder
Erasing #
Erased 1 sectors
Writing ################
cpboot> 

 After this you need to turn off or disconnect the controller

Take the

Now open the wireless controller to change the Memory, which is located where the red box is

You take that memory off and put the memory you bough in that slot.

Now you close the Wireless controller  and turn it on again and let the normal booting goes...

You will see this

 You will see that the eye finder will work there for like1 or 2 minutes so be patient!

You also will notice that the DRAM now its 1024MB instead of 512MB, so if you see this then you did a good job, you are done! :)
