 ### For device
 
 Before you begin, make sure that:
 - You should have a host computer connected to the datacenter network. Data Box will copy the data from this computer. Your host computer must run a supported operating system as described in [Azure Data Box system requirements](data-box-system-requirements.md).
 - Your datacenter needs to have high-speed network. We strongly recommend that you have at least one 10 GbE connection. If a 10 GbE connection is not available, a 1 GbE data link can be used but the copy speeds are impacted.
