Chapter 5 Adapters
2. Connect an IDE drive using the TC6-2 ribbon cable (blue connector goes to the
TDA7-5) and TC2-8-R2 power cable.
3. Power on TD4.
4. The PCIe drive tile on the home screen will become active which indicates it is
available for use.
5.3 PCIe FireWire adapter (TDA7‒9)
The PCIe FireWire adapter (TDA7-9) enables the acquisition of FireWire drives via
the TD4's PCIe source port. The PCIe FireWire adapter kit (sold as an add-on to the
TD4 kit) includes 9-pin and 6-pin FireWire adapter cables which are used to connect
the FireWire media to the adapter. The PCIe cable used to connect the adapter to
TD4 is included with the TD4 kit.
Note: There is a 9-pin 1394b port and a 6-pin 1394a port on TDA7-9. Since TD4
works on only one source drive at a time, ensure that only one type of FireWire
drive is connected to TDA7-9 prior to plugging it into TD4.
To use TDA7-9 with TD4, follow these steps:
1. With TD4 powered off, attach the TDA7-9 to TD4 by connecting it to the source
(left side) PCIe port using a Tableau PCIe cable (TC-PCIE-4 or TC-PCIE-8).
2. Connect a FireWire drive to the adapter using either the TC7-6-6 cable (for 1394a
devices) or the TC7-9-9 cable (for 1394b devices).
3. Power on TD4.
4. The PCIe drive tile on the home screen will become active which indicates it is
available for use.
5.4 SATA/IDE adapters
Tableau SATA/IDE adapters enable the acquisition of such drives. The following
SATA/IDE adapters are available for use with TD4:
3.5" SATA-microSATA Hard Disk Adapter (TDA3-1)
SATA – Blade-Type SSD Adapter (TDA3-2)
mSATA / m.2 SATA SSD Adapter (TDA3-3)
SATA LIF Hard Disk Adapter (TDA3-LIF)
3.5" – 1.8" IDE Hard Disk Adapter (TDA5-18)
3.5" – 2.5" IDE Hard Disk Adapter (TDA5-25)
3.5" – ZIF IDE Hard Disk Adapter (TDA5-ZIF)

Note: Some FireWire devices may not be powered through the main
FireWire interface cable. Such devices will require an external power
source.
