USB_S1 – USB 3.0 Source port.
PCIe_S1 – PCIe Source port (Depending on the type of PCIe drive, the optional
PCIe kit, part number F-ADP-PCI-FN-KT may be required).
Not labeled: Two 6-pin power ports for SAS_S1 and SAS_S2 that have lines
corresponding to the proper data port.
Not labeled: Two I/O ports for use with optional Logicube I/O expansion cards.
The Falcon-NEO Source ports are hot swappable (including the PCIe ports).
Although the Falcon-NEO ports are hot swappable, some drives
are not hot swappable. Please check with the drive manufacturer
to find out if the drive being used does not support hot swapping.
Source drives do not have to be connected in any order. For example, a single SATA
Source drive does not have to be connected to the SAS_S1 port. It can be connected to
the SAS_S2 port without having anything connected to the SAS_S1 port.
Never connect a suspect or Source drive to the
Destination ports of the Falcon-NEO. Data may be
overwritten if a drive is connected to a Destination port.
Any combination of drives can be connected. For example, one SAS drive, one SATA
drive, one USB drive, and one PCIe drive can all be connected at the same time.
2.2.2 Connecting Destination Drives
Destination drives (also called evidence drives) must be connected to the right side of the
Falcon-NEO. These ports are labeled as follows:
SAS_D1 – SAS/SATA data port for the Destination 1 position.
SAS_D2 – SAS/SATA data port for the Destination 2 position.
SATA_D3 – SATA only data port for the Destination 3 position.
SATA_D4 – SATA only data port for the Destination 4 position.
USB_D1 – USB 3.0 Destination port.
