1 Preface
1.1 About this guide
This guide presents a wide range of technical information and procedures for using the
TD2u. It is divided into the following chapters.
•Overview: Provides general information about the TD2u as well as unpacking,
starting up, and navigating the TD2u menus and indicators.
•Setting up the TD2u: Provides system overview information about the TD2u as well
as procedures for configuring and connecting the TD2u.
•Using the TD2u: Provides detailed information and procedures for using the TD2u.
•Troubleshooting and Support: Provides a brief list of potential problems and
solutions. For more complete and current troubleshooting information as well as
answers to fre-quently asked questions (FAQ), visit the Tableau web site at
security.opentext.com.
1.2 Conventions used in this guide
The TD2u has two soft keys placed immediately under the LCD display. The bottom line
of the display shows text indicating the current function for each of the two soft keys. In
this guide, soft key labels are indicated with square brackets. For example, [Select]
indicates that Select is displayed above a soft key on the display.
1.3 Disk capacity and transfer rate
measurement conventions
The computer industry generally adheres to two different conventions for the definitions
of the terms megabyte (MB) and gigabyte (GB). For computer RAM, 1 MB is defined as
220 = 1,048,576 bytes and 1 GB is defined as 230 = 1,073,741,824 bytes. For disk
storage, 1 MB is defined as 106 = 1,000,000 bytes and 1 GB is defined as 109 =
1,000,000,000 bytes. These two conventions are known as powers of two and powers of
ten respectively. Microsoft deviates from the hard disk capacity measurement convention
and uses the powers of two convention for its operating systems.
Tableau reports disk capacities and transfer rates according to the industry standard
powers of ten convention. In TD2u screens, reports, and documentation, a 4 GB hard
disk stores up to 4,000,000,000 bytes; a hard disk with a 150 MB/sec transfer rate
transfers 150,000,000 bytes per second.
Note: For a complete list of changes for a given TD2u firmware release, see the release
notes for the latest TFU version on the Tableau products web page at
security.opentext.com.

2 Overview
2.1 Tableau TD2u
The Tableau TD2u is a forensic duplicator capable of performing 1:1, 1:2, and 1:3
duplications. It has many of the functions traditionally found in general-purpose, IT-
oriented hard disk duplicators and provides features and functions that serve the
specialized needs of forensic practice, including:
•Sustained data transfer rates of up to 16 GB/minute, while performing calculations of
MD5, SHA-1, and SHA-256 hash values, also known as fingerprints.
•Native support for USB 3.0, SATA and IDE hard disks from the source interface.
•Parallel duplication to two SATA and one USB 3.0 destination hard disks.
•Parallel image and clone duplication.
•Optional destination disk encryption to ensure security of imaged source data.
•Detailed log generation for case documentation.
•Automatic blank checking of source and destination drives.
•HPA, DCO, and AMA support for the detection and handling of hidden/protected data
areas on source and destination drives.
•Automatic shutdown/standby of idle drives.

TQS-TD2u
Quick Start card for the TD2u kit.
Do not discard the foam packaging. It is designed to fit several industry-standard hard-
sided carrying cases. If you received the TD2u kit in the cardboard box shipped by
Tableau, you can buy a hard-sided case and reuse the foam insert directly in that case.
2.3 Navigating the TD2u
When using the TD2u, you may be prompted to enter certain information into the display.
Use the up/down/left/right arrow keys and the center button to select values.
While you are entering information, the TD2u displays two soft key functions at the
bottom of the LCD display. The soft keys perform major actions such as selecting a task,
canceling a function, or moving between different display screens. Use the arrow keypad
to navigate within a given screen/menu. The function of the soft keys depends on the
current context. The soft keys might have functions such as [Back] and [Next], as they
do during the Configuration Wizard. The soft keys might also serve to select items like
[Cancel] and [Ok].

8 The Information Company
The center button on the arrow keypad also serves as a [Select] button when navigating
among TD2u menus. It cannot be used to start major tasks, such as duplication or disk
wiping. Only soft keys labeled [Select] or [Start] initiate major tasks. Vertical Arrow Keys
scroll up or down and highlight menu items for selection. Horizontal Arrow Keys scroll left
or right and toggle between character lists.
In the upper right corner of the Main menu, the TD2u displays the date and time. As you
navigate the TD2u menu structure, the menu item number displays in the upper left hand
corner. For example, the Disk Utilities menu is Menu 5, the Format menu is Menu 5.1, the
Hash menu is Menu 5.2, and so on. These menu numbers help you navigate the menu
hierarchy.
The TD2u ships with a Quick Start card illustrating the layout of the display, buttons,
connectors, and switches on the TD2u. Keep the Quick Start card with the TD2u as you
familiarize yourself with its operation.
2.4 Reading the LEDs
The front of the TD2u has nine light emitting diode (LED) indicators. A tenth LED is
located on the rear of the TD2u, near the power connector.

OpenText Tableau TD2u Forensic Duplicator
The Information Company 9
The SATA Source, IDE Source, and USB Source LEDs indicate that the source drive is
connected to the left side of the TD2u The SATA, Dest 1, SATA Dest 2, and USB Dest
LEDs indicate that the destination drives are connected to the right side. A yellow Alert
LED on the right flashes to indicate the need for user intervention.
2.5 USB keyboard support
You can connect a standard USB keyboard to any of the USB ports on the front and back
of the TD2u. Using a keyboard for data entry can be faster and more convenient than
using the arrow keypad on the TD2u.
When using a USB keyboard the Enter key on the keyboard generally corresponds to the
right soft key on the TD2u. The Esc (escape) key on the keyboard generally corresponds
to the left soft key.
If your keyboard has arrow keys or a mouse-like input device, the up and down arrows
(or mouse actions) generally correspond to the up and down (vertical) arrows on the
TD2u.
3 Setting up the TD2U
3.1 Startup sequence
The TD2u is optimized for the needs of forensic practitioners and computer forensic
processes.

10 The Information Company
3.2 Initialization
After you turn on the TD2u, the device takes about five seconds to initialize and run a
self-test procedure. The screen is blank and unlit until the self-test is complete. An LED
check is then conducted so you can verify that all of the LEDs are functioning. When
initialization is complete, the TD2u displays warning messages about any detected faults.
3.3 Configuring the TD2u
The TD2u comes ready to be connected to the TP5 power supply and turned on.
After running a three-second initialization and self-test procedure, the TD2u starts the
Configuration Wizard. The Configuration Wizard prompts you for the default username,
current date/time, and preferred startup mode. The TD2u stores these settings in non-
volatile flash memory for use at each startup.
The startup mode feature lets you customize the TD2u for a specific workflow. The
Startup Mode setting provides the following options.
•Main Menu
•Duplication (for cloning or imaging)
•Wipe Disk
You can configure the startup mode and other settings at any time from the System
Settings menu (Menu 7.1).
Once you have configured your TD2u, the startup sequence bypasses the Configuration
Wizard unless you have used Factory Reset (Menu 7.3) in the Setup menu.
3.4 User-selected startup mode
The TD2u can be configured to display different screens at initial startup. This setting
allows for quick access to commonly used functions. For example, if you use the TD2u
mainly for duplications, you can customize the startup mode for disk duplication. Details
on this and other settings made by the Configuration Wizard are discussed below in the
section on System Settings (Menu 7.1).
3.5 System Settings (Menu 7.1)
The System Settings menu provides options for setting TD2u options, defaults, and the
current date/time. The System Settings menu also provides options for viewing TD2u
information and current status.
The following table lists additional options and values you can set in System Options.

recovery modes: Standard and
Exhaustive. If an error is encountered
on the source drive during a read
operation, the TD2u can be configured
to retry the operation, depending on the
Error Retry Count setting.
The Standard setting retries the 32K
block until it either succeeds or the
Error Retry Count is exceeded.
The Exhaustive setting causes the
TD2u to attempt to recover each sector.

16 The Information Company
3.7.1 Error recovery modes
The TD2u supports two different error recovery modes, Exhaustive and Standard. Both
modes refer to the way in which the TD2u recovers from read errors on the source hard
disk.
In the Exhaustive error recovery mode, when the TD2u detects a read fault, it begins a
retry strategy that attempts to read each sector in the 64-sector block that contains the
error. Exhaustive mode therefore produces the most complete destination image.
However, if the source drive has many read faults, the exhaustive strategy used by the
TD2u can also be time-consuming.
The Standard error recovery mode is intended for use with drives that have a high
number of read faults. When in Standard mode, the TD2u treats the source drive as a
series of 64-sector blocks (32,768-byte blocks). An error in any 64-sector block causes
the entire block to be treated as an error. This allows the TD2u to move quickly through a
drive with many read faults, but at the loss of some potentially readable sectors near
each fault.
In both error recovery modes, the TD2u handles unreadable sectors in the same way.
When the TD2u has determined that a sector cannot be read from the source drive, it fills
in the missing data with zeros on the destination drive. Zero data inserted in this way is
also included by the TD2u when calculating the MD5, SHA1, and SHA-256 hashes for
the duplication.
The TD2u treats all media errors on a destination disk as fatal or unrecoverable errors
because each destination disk is receiving a copy of evidence critical to a forensic
examination. It is not recommended to store data to a destination disk with known
defects.
3.8 Factory Reset (Menu 7.3)
The Factory Reset option resets all TD2u configuration settings to the factory state.
Factory Reset also physically erases of all user settings and logs stored in TD2u flash
memory.
After performing a Factory Reset the TD2u retains no user-specific or case-specific
information.
The only setting not cleared by a Factory Reset is the current date and time.
Internally Stored Information provides additional information regarding data stored in non-
volatile memory by the TD2u.
3.9 Duplicator Info (Menu 8)
Selecting the TD2u Duplicator Info option displays selected information for the TD2u

3.10 Connecting hard drives
Viewing the front of the TD2u, the source drive attaches to the left side of the duplicator
and the destination drive(s) attach to the right side.
The following procedure provides the steps for connecting hard disks to the TD2u. This
procedure applies to typical 3.5" SATA and IDE hard disks.
To connect hard disks to the TD2u:
1. Confirm that the TD2u power is off (the Power LED will not be lit).

18 The Information Company
2. Connect the source disk with its signal cable to the signal input on the left side of the
TD2u using the appropriate cable.
•TC6-8 IDE signal cable
•TC3-8 SATA signal cable
•For USB hard drives, use the cable shipped with the USB drive, or a Tableau
TCUSB3-18 cable
3. Connect the source disk with its power cable to the left side TD2u power input.
•TC2-8-R2: IDE/SATA drive power cable
•TC5-8-R2: SATA drive power cable
4. Connect the destination disk or disks to the right side of the TD2u with the
appropriate cable.
•For SATA devices, use the TC4-8-R2 unified cable
•For USB hard drives, use the cable shipped with the device or a Tableau
TCUSB3-18 cable
5. On the back of the TD2u, connect the TP5 power supply to the TD2u power input.
6. Using the appropriate line cord, plug your TD2u into an AC power source. The green
DC Power In LED indicates that power is available at the power connector.
7. Turn on the TD2u by pressing the TD2u power switch located on the front of the unit
to the lower left. The green Power LED indicates that the duplicator is turned on.
Note: When connecting an IDE source disk to the TD2u, always connect the blue end of
the IDE cable (TC6-2 or TC6-8) to the TD2u and the black end to the hard disk. If using
other than a Tableau-supplied cable, ensure that the colored stripe on the cable aligns
with Pin #1 on the hard disk. Failure to do so can result in unreliable communication
between the hard disk and the TD2u.
You can connect two destination SATA disks to the TD2u. The TD2u can write to two
destination drives simultaneously. To create a single copy, connect a drive to either the
Dest-1 or USB destination port.
3.11 Drive detection
After initialization, the TD2u begins drive detection.
Steady illumination of the IDE, SATA, USB Source, Destination 1, Destination 2, and
USB Destination LEDs indicates drive detection. A blinking LED indicates that detection
is still in progress.
Note: Because IDE drives do not support hot plug, they must be plugged in before the
TD2u is turned on in order to be detected. Unplugging an IDE drive that has been
detected by the TD2u will cause erratic or unexpected behavior since there is no way for
the TD2u to know that the IDE is no longer connected.

4.3 Duplicate (Menu 1)
The TD2u duplicates hard disks by either cloning or imaging them. Cloning, also known
as disk-to-disk duplication, is the process of copying a source disk, sector by sector, to a
destination disk. Source disk sector one is copied to destination disk sector one, then
sector two is copied to sector two, sector three to sector three, and so on. Imaging, also
known as disk-to-file duplication, is the process of copying a source disk to a series of
files on destination disks.
Note: Starting with TD2u firmware version 1.3, the selection of clone or image for a
specific destination drive is no longer done through distinct sub-menus. Selecting the
Duplicate item will launch a Duplicate job setup page that allows for in-line selection of
clone or image for all connected destination drives. This allows each destination to be
selected as clone or image independently from other destinations.
