    If you have to choose one then it is the supply side
    The purpose of the FS damper is to prevent smoke and fire to spread, in case there is a smoke or fire in the areas near by (same floor, one floor above/below) the ahu must be automatically stop... if the ducts( SA/ RA) penetrated a fire rated wall it best to put FS damper... but then it up to your local government to tell you where to put the FS damper, but it will need at least one, at the supply side
