TD3 is a modular forensic imaging system using a touch-screen graphical user interface (UI). A comprehensive discussion of all TD3 features and functions, along with detailed product setup instructions is available in the TD3 User’s Guide. This document can be downloaded at: www.tableau.com/library.

Press and release the membrane ON/OFF switch to cycle power to TD3. Once powered ON, normal use and control of the TD3 is via the touch-screen UI. Light finger taps and swipes on the UI are all that is required to use this product. Where user data entry is required, a touch-screen keyboard will be displayed.

The following basic sequence assumes that the user has installed a 3.5 inch SATA hard-drive in the TDS1 SATA storage enclosure:

1. Following instructions shown on the TDS1 label, slide the TD3 from left to right to mate TD3 with the TDS1 enclosure.

2. Connect the TP4 power supply to the TD3 DC power-in connection.

3. For forensic imaging, SATA, USB or FireWire storage devices can be directly connected to the main TD3 unit.

4. For forensic imaging of SCSI1, IDE, or SAS storage devices, the appropriate TDPX expansion module must be used.

To connect, set an expansion module in the keyed slots on top of the TDS1, and slide left to right until mated to the TD3 expansion connector.

To remove expansion module, power down TD3, grasp and hold TD3 main imager unit,

depress connector lock, and slide expansion module right to left.

5. Upon initial startup: First, follow on-screen instructions to create a TD3 administrator password. Next, navigate to the ‘Settings’ menu option to setup and configure your TD3 with personal preferences. Please refer to the TD3 User’s Guide for comprehensive setup instructions.

6. Upon subsequent use, the main menu is displayed for user selection; scroll and tap the function icon to select the desired action. Many functions have user-selectable options; please refer to the TD3 User’s Guide for details.

7. Always remember to power down TD3 when changing source device, or when swapping expansion modules.
