FRED DX
FRED DX SINGLE RAID

NOW AVAILABLE WITH THE C602 EXPRESS CHIPSET

FRED DX (Dual Xeon) is FRED SR's Dual Xeon configuration in a standard FRED chassis. If you require the power that FRED SR offers in a full-tower footprint, this is your solution. The FRED family of forensic workstations are highly integrated, flexible and modular forensic platforms and now include Digital Intelligence's exclusive UltraBay II Write Protected Imaging Bay and Ventilated Imaging Shelf.

Dual Xeon Quad Core Speed (8 Processors)

Dual Processor system implementations have traditionally been “server centric” with: outdated chipsets, poor memory bandwidth, poor I/O bandwidth, and limited support for integrated peripherals. Digital Intelligence has designed the first Dual Processor system with all the pre-requisite performance, flexibility, and reliably required of a Forensic Recovery of Evidence Device (FRED). This system is built on a dual-processor 64-bit Xeon Motherboard, with outstanding flexibility, integrated peripheral support, and performance far beyond anything previously seen in a Forensic Workstation.

The UltraBay II - Integrated IDE, SATA, SCSI, USB and Firewire Write Blockers

Now shipping on selected models of the Industry Leading FRED Family of Forensic Workstations.

  • The industry's first FireWire Write-Blocker.
  • Completely integrated / internal system solution.
  • UltraBay IIIntegrated Write Blocked (Read-Only) Ports:
    • SATA
    • IDE
    • SCSI (both SE and LVD Devices)
    • USB
    • FireWire 1394b/800 (1394a/400 backward compatible).
  • Integrated Read/Write Ports (Hubs):
    • FireWire 1394b/800 (1 Port)
    • USB 2.0 (2 ports)
  • Integral LCD/keypad for viewing device and bridge status/info and configuration.
  • Full multi-LUN FireWire acquisition support is provided for Write Protected imaging of Apple Mac systems
    booted to FireWire device mode.
  • The UltraBay II provides both dedicated Write Protected USB and FireWire ports, as well as dedicated
    Read/Write USB and FireWire ports.
  • SATA/IDE/SCSI ports can be temporarily switched between Write Blocked (Read-Only) and Read/Write modes via LCD/keypad configuration. To maximize forensic safety, the UltraBay II automatically reverts to Write-Blocked mode at power-up and after a drive is detached:
    • The SATA/IDE/SCSI ports auto-configure to Write Protected (Read-Only) mode at every power up.
    • The SATA/IDE/SCSI ports may be manually configured to allow Read/Write operation using the
      front panel LCD Control after a drive is connected.
    • The SATA/IDE/SCSI ports automatically revert to Write Protected (Read-Only) operation after the drive is removed.
  • The UltraBay II has both FireWire800 and SATA internal connections to the FRED System for write blocked services. Future firmware updates will allow simultaneous connection and smart inter-operation between FW800 and SATA interfaces for maximum aggregate performance and functionality.
  • Firmware updates available at no charge through Tableau Firmware Update. Unlike less-functional
    integrated solutions, all firmware updates can be applied using existing communication channels and do not require labor-intensive temporary re-cabling of the forensic workstation.
  • Full HPA/DCO support for SATA & IDE devices.
  • SCSI supports SE and LVD devices.
  • The USB 2.0 write-blocked port has same range of device support as The UltraBlock USB (T8). Additionally, the USB implementation is about 25-35% faster than the standalone UltraBlock USB (T8).
  • FireWire write-blocked port has 9-pin FW800 connector and supports both FW400 and FW800 devices.
  • The UltraBay II is supported by Tableau Disk Monitor application.
  • The UltraBay II is supported by Tableau "tabphys" library. This will allow it to be recognized by Encase upon release of the updated Encase imager by Guidance Software.

The UltraBay II is exclusively available with select Digital Intelligence FRED systems and is not available separately or from any other source.

New Ventilated Imaging Shelf

Ventilated Imaging ShelfSelected FRED systems have also been upgraded to include our new ventilated imaging shelf for maximum drive cooling during the imaging process:

  • Integrated Retractable imaging shelf (fully retracts into the system when not in use).
  • Dual fans for maximum cooling and surface coverage.
  • On/Off switch to control airflow.
  • Slotted, cushioned, non-conductive, non-skid, surface supports all popular drive sizes (3-1/2", 2-1/2", 1.8", etc).

The Complete Forensic Hardware Solution

FRED systems are optimized for stationary laboratory acquisition and analysis. Simply remove the hard drive(s) from the suspect system and plug them into FRED and acquire the digital evidence. FRED will acquire data directly from IDE/EIDE/ ATA/SATA/ATAPI/SCSI I/SCSI II/SCSI III hard drives and storage devices and save forensic images to DVD, CD or or hard drives. FRED systems also acquire data from CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, Compact Flash, Micro Drives, Smart Media, Memory Stick, Memory Stick Pro, xD Cards, Secure Digital Media and Multimedia Cards. Furthermore, with the optional tape drive FRED is capable of archiving to or acquiring evidence from DLT-V4 tapes. The FRED DX Single RAID system accommodates up to 10.0TB of internal RAID storage. All FRED systems include the UltraBay, front panel connections, and removable drive trays so there is no need to open up the processing system to install drives or crawl around the back of the unit to attach devices.
