EXTERNAL BOOTUP 

External Bootup may be required if the user has two different operating systems 
set up in both the host computer and the RAID System.  
 

PC  

The External Bootup with different interface: 

OS \ Interfaces 

USB 

FireWire 

eSATA 

Windows 

No No Yes 

DOS 

Yes No Yes 

Linux 

No No Yes 

 
MAC  

The External Bootup varies with different platform and interfaces: 

eSATA 

Platform \ Interfaces 

USB 

FireWire

 If the computer does not come with eSATA interface and an optional eSATA 

card is added, choosing the card that comes with the built-in driver in the 
operation system is highly recommended.
