Preface
This guide presents a wide range of technical information and procedures for using
the OpenText Tableau Forensic TD4 Duplicator, a product of OpenText. It is divided
into the following chapters:
Overview: Provides general information about TD4 as well as unpacking, starting
up, and navigating TD4 menus and reading the LEDs.
Configuring TD4: Provides system overview information about TD4 as well as
procedures for configuring and connecting it.
Using TD4: Provides detailed information and procedures for TD4 operation.
Adapters: Describes the adapters that extend the drive acquisition options and
destination drive capabilities of TD4.
Specifications and troubleshooting: Provides TD4 specifications and a brief list of
potential problems and solutions. For more complete and current troubleshooting
information as well as answers to frequently asked questions (FAQ), visit OpenText
My Support (https://support.opentext.com).
1.1 Drive capacity and transfer rate measurement
conventions
The computer industry generally adheres to two different conventions for
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 drive 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 drive capacity
measurement convention and uses the powers of two convention for its operating
systems.
Tableau products report drive capacities and transfer rates according to the industry
standard powers of ten convention. In TD4 screens, reports, and documentation, a 4
GB hard drive stores up to 4,000,000,000 bytes; a hard drive with a 150 MB/sec
transfer rate transfers 150,000,000 bytes per second.

Chapter 2
Overview
Tableau TD4 is a powerful and intuitive forensic duplicator that offers valuable,
high-performance imaging capabilities in a small, portable package. The touch
screen user interface is easy to use and provides a familiar user experience similar to
modern tablets and smartphones. TD4 is custom built for forensics and provides
many standard and advanced features that serve the specialized needs of digital
forensics practitioners, including:
Acquisition of PCIe, USB, SATA, SAS, FireWire, and IDE drives.
Note: PCIe, IDE, and FireWire adapters (sold separately) are required to image
these drive types.
Output to PCIe, USB, and SATA drives.
The ability to target file-based evidence with logical imaging functionality and
industry standard file outputs (lx01 and metadata csv files).
The ability to duplicate a source drive to up to five destination drives.
The ability to prevent damage to disk drives by spinning them down when they are
ejected from TD4 prior to physical removal.
The ability to lock specific functions and settings with an administrator PIN to
enforce standard settings and procedures for your forensic acquisition jobs.
Superior data transfer rates, even while performing calculations of MD5, SHA-1, and
SHA-256 hash values.
The ability to view extensive drive detail, including partition and filesystem
information.
Browsing drive filesystems.
Extensive filesystem support - APFS, ExFAT, NTFS, EXT4, FAT(12/16/32), and HFS+.
Whole disk, open standard, destination drive encryption using XTS-AES.
The ability to detect and inform of the presence of enabled Opal encryption.
Comprehensive destination and accessory drive wiping capabilities, including NIST
800-88 compliant wipes.
HPA, DCO, and AMA support for the detection and handling of hidden/protected
data areas on source drives. This includes standalone HPA/DCO/AMA disablement,
DCO/AMA “shelving,” and trim support for the creation of a destination DCO or
AMA.
Detailed forensic logs in HTML format for case documentation.
The ability to filter the forensic log list to only show logs of interest based on specific
case and/or drive information. The filtered logs can also be exported or deleted.

Always free firmware update support.
Clearly labeled and color-coded source (write blocked) and destination (read/write)
ports.

Do not discard the TD4 foam packaging, as it is designed to fit several industry-
standard hard sided carrying cases (for example, the Pelican 1500). If you received
the TD4 kit in the cardboard box shipped by OpenText, you can reuse the stacking
foam inserts in your own hard-sided case.
2.2 Navigating TD4
Use the TD4 touchscreen display to navigate the available TD4 functions. Use the
onscreen virtual keyboard or a USB keyboard to enter alphanumeric text when
prompted. See “USB keyboard and mouse support” on page 17.
2.2.1 Home screen
The home screen of TD4 displays function tiles for initiating the following forensic
jobs:
Duplicate
Logical Image
Hash
Verify
Restore
It also includes tiles for entering/viewing essential information, as follows:
