Introduction

Congratulations and thank you for purchasing the FireWire
800 ExpressCard Adapter from Belkin. This ExpressCard
Adapter offers notebook users a fast and convenient way
to add a FireWire® port that can take advantage of the
increased bandwidth and features the new ExpressCard I/O
interconnection standard delivers.

Why ExpressCard Technology?

ExpressCard technology, the standard destined to replace
CardBus, quadruples your computing bandwidth. This
results in faster music downloads, smoother streaming
video, and lightning-fast access to mass-storage devices.

The ExpressCard Adapter provides the perfect solution for
simultaneously streaming movies and downloading video
from your camcorder to your hard drive—without risking
that your computer will freeze, crash, or slow to a trickle.
ExpressCard technology future-proofs your computer with
technology so advanced that it exceeds the processing
speed of many devices currently on the market. This means
that installing the ExpressCard Adapter now assures you of
device-upgrade expansion room for many years to come.

Please carefully review this User Manual so that you can
take full advantage of all the capabilities the Belkin FireWire
800 ExpressCard Adapter offers.

Troubleshooting

The ExpressCard Adapter and devices connected to the
computer do not work properly.

Please do the following:

1. Check that all the cables you are using are the correct

types, and that they are all securely connected.

2. Make sure all devices are powered on and connected to

the proper power supply and source.

3. Reconnect daisy-chained devices you may have

disconnected for installation. If reconnecting does not
clear up the problem, restart your computer.

4. Make sure you have properly installed

the ExpressCard Adapter.

The computer did not detect the
ExpressCard Adapter.

1. Make sure that the ExpressCard Adapter is correctly

plugged into the ExpressCard 34/54mm slot; if not, plug
in it securely.

2. If the ExpressCard Adapter is plugged in correctly, see if

its gold connectors are clean; if not, clean the connector
surface.

3. Follow the procedure on page 6 titled “Verifying Proper

Installation”. If the ExpressCard designation “OHCI IEEE
1394b Host Controller” does not appear in the Device
Manager, update your computer BIOS to the latest
version (contact your computer manufacturer for details).
If after updating your BIOS your computer still does not
detect the ExpressCard Adapter, contact your computer
manufacturer for advanced support for BIOS.
