62 The Information Company

Note: The SATA/SAS destination DC OUT ports directly on 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.

TX1 also provides an Ethernet connection, which enables use of network-based iSCSI

physical media and CIFS shares as destinations to store clone or image file data. See

“Duplication over a network” on page 82 for more information.

Destination drives are listed in the user interface in the order of TX1's physical port

layout: iSCSI/CIFS, USB, SATA/SAS 1, SATA/SAS 2.

3.4.3 Accessory drives

Connect up to two USB drives to the Accessory USB 3.0 ports on the front of TX1. These

drives are mostly used for saving stored log files or updating TX1 firmware.

Note: The USB accessory ports on TX1 are NOT write-protected! Evidence media should

never be connected to these ports.

Accessory drives are listed in the user interface in the order of TX1's physical port layout,

with the leftmost USB drive always on top and the rightmost on the bottom.

3.4.4 Drive detection

destination drive counts are displayed in the 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.
