Before  using  this  tool  for  accessing  sensitive  data,  verify  the  write-blocking 
function of the product. Attach a known good formatted drive and verify that the 
drive 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. 

1.1 Installing Hard Drives

1.1.1 TrayFree™ Bay Drive Installation

NOTE:   This  subsection  refers  only  to  the  RAX210-3QJ  and  RAX210-

3QJp enclosures.

a.  Pull on the ejection handle to open the door.
b.  Slide in your SATA hard drive, connector-end first with the label facing up.
c.  Shut the door by pushing on the handle.

1.1.2 Drive Installation for RAX with Removable Carriers

NOTE:   This  subsection  refers  only  to  RAX211-3QJ  and  RAX211-3QJp 

models.

a.  Slide the drive carrier out of the RAX enclosure.
b.  The carrier’s cover is held in place by a screw on the rear of the unit. 

Remove the screw and then remove the cover.

c.  Slide the drive in from the front of the carrier.
d.  Mate the connection on the drive with the connection on the drive carrier 

circuit board.

e.  Flip the drive/carrier assembly over and secure the drive in place with the 

provided screws.

f.  Attach the Temperature Control Cooling Sensor to the top of the drive with 

a piece of tape.

g.  Replace the carrier cover and secure the screw on the rear of the carrier.
h.  Slide the carrier into the RAX enclosure.

1.2 Selecting the Operation Mode for Each Bay
Each bay comes equipped with a switch on the front bezel that switches between 
Read/Write (R/W) Mode and Write Protect (WP) Mode. Flip the switch for each 
bay to choose the appropriate operation mode.

NOTE:   This section refers only to 3QJp write protect models.

Read/Write (R/W) Mode
Flip the bay’s switch to R/W. Using this mode, RAX 3QJp bays will operate like 
standard external hard drives, performing standard read and write functions. The 
drive bay must be set to R/W mode in order to format the hard drive.

Write Protect (WP) Mode
Flip the bay’s switch to WP. Using this mode, RAX 3QJp bays will protect data 
already on the hard drive. The data on the drive can be read but cannot be altered. 

NOTE:   When changing the mode of operation the new setting will 

not take effect until the power is cycled or a drive is removed 
or added. The mode LED will then change to indicate the new 
mode.

1.3 Operating Your RAX Enclosure
Connect the data cables to the RAX enclosure and your computer. Plug in the 
power cord to a grounded electrical outlet. Insert hard drives into the unit and 
turn on the power.

• 

For the RAX210, the drives will begin to spin up automatically.

• 

 For the RAX211, use the included set of keys to turn the key 90 degrees 
clockwise to power on each hard drive.

Your RAX enclosure is now ready to use! If the hard drive is already formatted, it 
can be used right away. If the hard drives are brand new, or their file systems are 
not compatible with your operating system, the drive will need to be formatted 
before being used. 

NOTE:   If any of the drives are inaccessible after powering on the unit, try 

the following steps:

 

1. Turn off the power.

 

2. Remove the drive(s) in question.

 

3. Reinsert the drive(s).

 

4. Turn on the power.
