Description
This 3-port IEEE1394 host adapter is a high speed input/output device for connecting
peripherals to a computer, the IEEE1394 is one of the fastest standard ever developed,
multimedia devices such as video camcorders and other high-speed devices can take
advantage of this standard.
This host adapter is OHCI compliant thus no driver is needed under Widnows® 98
Second Edition , its convenient I/O offers “hot plug” feature, it is not necessary to turn
off the power when attach/detach any IEEE1394 devices. The IEEE-1394 is a peer-to –
peer technology, which means you can connect other systems on the same 1394 bus,
two or more computers can share the same IEEE-1394 devices when they are daisy-
chained on the same 1394 bus.
Features
• 3-Port IEEE1394 host adapter.
• Compatible with standard Microsoft 1394 driver stack.
• P1394a 3.0 compliant
• OHCI 1.0 compliant
• PCI 2.1 compliant
• 100 to 400 Mbps transmission speed
• High speed digital serial bus supporting peer-to-peer communication and hot
plug-and-play with 6-wire cable and connector.
• Support for efficient data flow (large FIFO’s, context support)
• Implemented in digital 3.3v, CMOS process technology, 5v tolerant buffers

2 Installing the IEEE 1394 Host Adapter
1. Power off the system and all peripheral devices. Unplug all power cords from the
power utility outlets.
2. Momentarily touch the chassis of the system unit with your bare hand to discharge
any static electricity.
3. Remove the cover from the system unit.
4. Locate a free PCI expansion slot and remove its cover plate. Retain the screw.
5. Carefully remove the IEEE-1394 host adapter from the anti-static envelope and
install it into the expansion slot.
6. Secure the host adapter with the screw removed earlier.

7. Put back the system unit cover.
8. Plug all power cords into power utility outlets.
9. Power on the system and install the appropriate software driver..
3 Installing the IEEE-1394 Host Adapter under Win98
Second Edition
** You have to use the Windows® 98 Second Edition to install the IEEE-1394 Host Adapter ***
1 After you have inserted the IEEE-1394 host adapter into you computer, turn on the power,
the Win98SE will find the device automatically and the “Add New Hardware Wizard” dialog
box will appear, please click “Next” to continue.
2 The next “Add New Hardware wizard” dialog box appears, please select “Search for the
best driver for your device [Recommended]” and click “Next”
3 Windows will ask you to specify the driver location, please specify where your Windows
system disk is located (ex. Win98SE) and click “NEXT”
4 Windows will tell you that the IEEE-1394 host adapter has been found in the specified
location, please click “NEXT” to continue.
5 At the last step, Windows will you inform you that the installation has finished, please click
“Finish” to finish installing the IEEE-1394 driver.
