Adapters
This chapter describes the add-on drive adapters available for TX1, which extend
imaging capabilities in an easy to connect and use manner.
Important
The PCIe interface on TX1 does not support hot-swapping. PCIe adapters with
drives installed must be attached to TX1's PCIe port before powering up the
unit. Also, removing a PCIe adapter from TX1 or removing a drive from a PCIe
adapter before powering down the device will cause system instability and
could possibly damage the drive, adapter, or TX1. TX1 must be powered down
before removing the drive from any Tableau PCIe adapter or removing a PCIe
drive/adapter from the TX1 PCIe port.
5.1 PCIe SSD adapters
Tableau PCIe SSD adapters enable the acquisition of PCIe based SSDs of various
types via TX1's PCIE source port. The following adapters are available individually
or as part of an adapter kit:
• PCIe card SSD adapter ‒ TDA7-1
• PCIe m.2 SSD adapter ‒ TDA7-2
• PCIe adapter for Apple SSDs 2013+ (through 2016) ‒ TDA7-3
• PCIe u.2 SSD adapter cable ‒ TDA7-4
Visit the Tableau product website to learn more about available Tableau PCIe
adapters.
5.2 PCIe IDE adapter (TDA7‒5)
The PCIe IDE Adapter (TDA7-5) enables the acquisition of IDE drives via TX1's PCIe
source port. The IDE adapter kit (sold as an add-on to the TX1 kit) includes the IDE
power and signal cables used to connect the IDE drive to the adapter. The PCIe cable
used to connect the adapter to TX1 is included with the TX1 kit.
