Forensic Device User Advisory
We recommend that you perform a final check on your RedPort card.
Prior to first use, please verify that the write-blocking function of this product is working properly. This is
easily done: attach a SCSI storage device known to be in working order. It should contain a drive (or
drives) that you are willing to overwrite. Verify that the volume mounts properly on your computer.
Transfer files to the SCSI device. The files will appear to transfer to the drive. When the process is
complete, eject and then remount the volume. The files that you wrote to the SCSI device should not
appear after the device is remounted. If they do appear, there is a problem with your RedPort card, and
you should contact our support department for further instructions.

Page 7: Glossary
WiebeTech LLC Glossary Some terms used in the storage industry are defined below. More information is available through the ATTO Technology website (www.attotech.com) and the SCSI Trade Association (www.scsita.org). Term Definition ANSI American National Standards Institute AIP: although most Ultra320 traffic is sent synchronously and protected by Asynchronous CRC, some information is still sent asynchronously. - Page 8 WiebeTech LLC Although SCSI transfer speeds have changed dramatically over the past several generations, cable specifications have remained constant. Higher speed pre-compensation and frequency signals have a greater potential for reflection and distortion over distance. Pre-compensation techniques slightly modify the SCSI signal to reduce the chance of these types of problems.
