RedPort TM SAS 6G Quick Start Guide
Forensic Device User Advisory
After installing the authorized software drivers on your computer, and installing the card itself, it’s a
good idea to verify the card’s write-blocking function before using it to access sensitive data. This
is easily done: attach a known good formatted drive or storage device, and verify that the volume
mounts properly on your computer. Copy files to the drive. Due to the “spoof writing” style of
write-blocking employed by this product, the files will appear to copy successfully. Next, unmount
and remount the drive. The files that you copied should not appear after the drive is remounted. If
they do appear, there is a problem with your forensic device, and you should contact our support
department for further instructions.
CRU-WiebeTech support may be reached at 866-744-8722 (toll free) or [email protected] (email).
WARNING: You must install correct drivers before you install the RedPort card. Failure
to do so may affect the write-blocking capabilities of the product.
1. Installing Drivers
Before installing the RedPort host adapter, you must configure your system to recognize and use it
by installing drivers for your operating system.
