Tableau TX1, User Manual

Page: 31 / 125

Destination Drives
Connect one or more drives to the TX1 destination (right) side: SATA/SAS (x2) or USB 3.0. If
using the Drive Bay, insert one or more 2.5” or 3.5” SATA/SAS drives.
Note: The SATA/SAS destination DC OUT ports directly on the TX1 are enabled
even when a TX1-S1 Drive Bay is connected, allowing for easy connection of up to
four SATA/SAS destination drives. Please refer to the specifications section of this
user guide for information regarding maximum power configurations.
Accessory Drives
Connect up to two USB drives to the Accessory USB 3.0 ports on the front of the TX1. These
drives are mostly used for saving stored log files.
Note: The USB accessory ports on the TX1 are NOT write-protected! Evidence
media should never be connected to these ports.
Drive Detection
After booting, the TX1 begins detecting connected drives sequentially. Source and destination
drive counts display in the Sources and Destinations buttons at the bottom of the TX1 Home
screen, indicating the number of source and destination drives recognized. If any Accessory
USB drives are connected and detected, the center USB Accessory portion of that bottom row
will appear with the detected Accessory drive count as well (as shown in the example below).
Tap the Sources, USB Accessory, or Destinations button to view more detail about the
connected drives and to access media utilities.
Example of Source, USB Accessory, and Destination drive counts:
