Require more of/from inanimate objects
Solution 1:
The problem with "require more of your equipment" is that it potentially misleads the reader into thinking that you are asking for more equipment, not, as is the case, for more out of your equipment.
On grounds of clarity alone, 'from' should be used in the second part of the sentence.
It is purely a matter of style whether to read that construction back into the first part. Personally, I wouldn't.
