1. Insert the ExpressCard into an available ExpressCard / 54 or 34mm 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.

2. 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.

Connecting FireWire devices to the ExpressCard

To verify that the necessary drivers have successfully (automatically) been installed:

1. Right-click My Computer, then click Manage. Click on Device Manager.

2. Double click on the [+] symbol next to 1394 Bus Controller or IEEE 1394 Bus host

Controllers option. If the driver installation is successful, you will notice a Texas

Instruments OHCI Compliant IEEE 1394 Host Controller displayed.

Verifying successful installation

To begin using your FireWire peripherals with EC13942, simply insert the FireWire

connector provided by the peripheral or attached cable into one of the FireWire ports

provided by the ExpressCard.

Please note that for peripherals requiring lower voltages, EC13942 offers built-in power

capability. If more power is required, an external 12VDC (1A) power adapter (not

included with EC13942) can be connected to the power jack on the ExpressCard.

Instruction Manual

If you find that the peripherals connected to EC13942 (in the powered state) are not

functioning, or are not being detected, please ensure the following:

1. The drivers have been installed.

2. Any previous driver installations (if this product has been previously installed) have

been removed.

3. There are no conflicts with other device drivers. To determine this:

a. Browse to the Device Manager, by right-clicking on My Computer, and selecting

Manage. In the left pane, click on Device Manager.

b. Look for any exclamation marks (!) or question marks (?) listed next to the FireWire

controller card, in the right pane.
