Overview

The UF-220 is a PCI card implementation that brings the two

new industry standards for peripheral data transfer to older PCI

computers. It provides two external and one internal USB 2.0

ports, as well as two external and on internal IEEE 1394

(FireWire) ports, and has the intelligence to handle devices for

NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with

both bus types simultaneously.

By combining both USB and IEEE 1394 in a single unit, you can

have the best of both worlds. For example, you can capture and

edit the output from a DVD camera connected to a FireWire port

at the same time as you work with a keyboard, mouse, printer, or

disk drive connected to your USB ports.

The internal ports are provided specifically for connecting

internal devices, such as removable media drives, CD-ROM,

the limits for a Class B digital device pursuant to Subpart J of Part

15 of FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable

protection against harmful interference in a residential installation.

This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency

energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the

instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio

communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference

will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does

cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which

automatically switches to the highest supported speed

DVD, and hard disk drives, etc. For both USB 2.0 and FireWire,

the UF-220 supplies power from the PCI bus if a connected

device doesn’t have its own source of power.

With all six ports always active, the UF-220 is perfect for anyone

who wants to enjoy the benefits of the latest bus technologies

regardless of what bus-type peripheral he wants to connect.
