To Verify Driver Installation:

1. Right click My Computer, then click Manage. Select Device Manager.

2. Double-click on 1394 Bus Controller or IEEE 1394 Bus host Controller. If the card

has successfully been installed, Texas Instruments OHCI Compliant IEEE 1394

Host Controller should be displayed.

Please Note: The ExpressCard must be installed prior to peripheral device

connection. Failing this, the peripheral device and/or notebook computer may

not function properly.

1. Locate an unused ExpressCard slot on the host computer.

2. Insert EC1394B2 into the available ExpressCard slot. Since this card is hot-

pluggable, this can be performed while the computer is on or off. Once the card has

been inserted, ensure the computer is powered, to proceed with installation.

3. Windows will detect that the card has been inserted, and will prompt for driver

installation. Follow the on-screen instructions. Once the driver has been installed,

the operating system will notify you that your new hardware is ready for use.

Warning! Please remove possible static discharge potential from any objects

that the ExpressCard may come in contact with, before installation. This can be

accomplished by touching a large, grounded metal surface for several seconds.

Verifying Successful Installation

Connecting Peripheral Devices

Once EC1394B2 has been installed according to the preceding instructions, FireWire

800 peripherals can be connected to the port provided.

Please note: FireWire devices that have their own power supply do not require

the optional power adapter to be connected in order to work. However, non-

powered FireWire devices require this optional power adapter to work. If you

need to connect a power adapter, please ensure that it meets the following

criteria:

Switching power adapter DC 12V, 1A

Polarity: Outside negative voltage(-) & Inside positive voltage(+)

3.5mm power jack.
