Installation

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.

Plug type: H

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.

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 o. 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.

Verifying Successful Installation

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.
