ESD Precautions
The cards are sensitive to static electricity. To prevent any
electrostatic discharge damage, please take care of the following jobs
with precautions:
Do not remove the cards or components from their anti-static
packaging until you are ready to install them.
Before holding the cards or components, touch an unpainted
portion of the system unit chassis for a few seconds. It
discharges static electricity from your body.
Wear a wrist-grounding strap, available from most electronic
component stores, when handling cards and components.

INTRODUCTION
The IEEE-1394b interface is a serial standard bus for high-speed
communication and isochronous real-time data transfer. The IEEE1394b transfer rate is up to 800Mbps and device distances can now
be up to 100 meters.
The AX93501 supports two channel IEEE-1394b ports on a PCI
express x1 card. The AX93501 provides IEEE 1394b bilingual
connectors with locking screw for reliable connection between the
AX93501 and devices, such as camera, hard drive, RAID, and
complaint IEEE 1394a device. It also supports plug and play
connectivity for IEEE 1394.b devices and peripherals.

2.3 Hardware Installation
Please follow these steps to install the AX93501 card on the PCI
express bus:
1. Remove the computer cover using the instructions from the
computer manual.
2. Check that there is an empty PCI express slot. If there is not
an empty slot, remove a PCI express board from the
computer to make room for the AX93501 card and take note
of the chosen slot number.
3. Remove the blank metal plate located at the back of the
selected slot (if any). Keep the removed screw to fasten the
AX93501 card after installation.
4. Carefully position the AX93501 card in the selected PCI
express slot as illustrated below. If using a tower computer,
align the board with the board slots.
5. Press the board firmly, but carefully into the connector.
6. Anchor the board by replacing the screw.
7. Connect device via 1394b connector.
8. Turn on the computer.
NOTE The AX93501 can be installed in a PCI express x1, x4, x8,
and x16 slot.
