I asked that question when the device was introduced, but there was never an answer or reply.
I just received my aquabus X4 and 2 calitemps and had started to play around with them when my primary machine died.
Best I remember, the top/outside port is one, the middle port is two, the bottom port is three and the port by itself is four.
Hopefully you can confirm this by applying heat (touching them?) and seeing which sensor in the aquasuite moves.
IMPORTANT!!!
Do NOT assemble the entire thing and expect to be able to plug the calitemps into the aquabus X4.
Two of the ports conflict with the aquaero mounting bracket screw rivets, one you may be able to force, but the other you will not plug in.
You need to loosen the two front screws on the aquaero so the mounting bracket can be tilted out allowing the plugs to be plugged in.
Then you can tighten the front screws securing the mounting bracket back in.
I believe there is sufficient room (barely) once the plugs are installed.
The first picture below shows the aquabus X4 installed on the product page, but the mounting screw rivets are truncated.
In the second picture you can see the actual length of the aquaero mounting screw rivets.

At the design stage this would not have been a difficult fix.
Simply move the two ports in conflict with the screw rivets to the left above the current single port, and move the electronics under the screw rivets.
aquacomputer is generally meticulous with their designs... whomever was in charge of this project failed.
In my mind it is worth a remake and recall.
I had issues installing the X4 to the AQ6. Couldn't believe what I was witnessing and how could this design flaw have been missed. Regardless I still made it work.
Here are some images to paint the picture on what went on.
I thought it was going to cut the wire while pressing down on the female header.

What is that red thing all along the back?

That is the optional heatsink. Helps dissipate any heat generated from the controller.

Interesting.
When would one need this? Is this only for people who use a large number of voltage controlled fans? I'd imagine the resistors would create a good amount of heat if that is the case.
Personally I use three standard temp sensors, 4x Calitetemp sensors, a flow sensor, two PWM outputs for fans and one PWM output for my pump.
The PWM outputs don't even draw power from the Aquaero. I use them just for control.
I'd imagine in this setup, heat is less of an issue?
I am considering adding PID style Setpoint control to my system though. I wonder if this results in added processing and thus more heat.

I would probably recommend this if you're almost at 30w per channel for example but most of us I don't think aren't even close but I still like using it to help dissipate any heat since that area doesn't have too much air flow to begin with but for piece of mind.
