Compatible USB expansion cards can be purchased from QNAP or an authorized
reseller.
Warning
• Do not connect the JBOD enclosure to a host device using a USB hub.
• Boot failures may occur when disconnecting and reconnecting the external device from
the host device repeatedly within a short time. QNAP recommends waiting 10 seconds
before reconnecting the external device to the host device.
