• Depending on the number of installed drives, the JBOD enclosure may consume more
USB endpoints than the host device can support on a single USB connection.
Therefore, the host device may not recognize all drives installed in the JBOD
enclosure.
You can resolve this issue by installing a USB expansion card in the host device.
Compatible USB expansion cards can be purchased from QNAP or an authorized
reseller.
• The NAS must run QTS hero or QTS 4.4.2 (or later version).

Do not connect the JBOD enclosure to a host device using a USB hub.
