Connecting Your FireWire Peripheral

The F200-003-R has three external plus one internal FireWire ports. Only three ports can be used at a time with the following combinations.

1) Connecting the three external FireWire ports (A, B, C) or

2) Connecting the internal port and two external ports, which

must be either the 2nd or 3rd connector (B, C). Please be aware that you can not activate the internal port and 1st external port (A) at the same time.

Before installing any drivers or connecting the FireWire peripheral, it’s important to first determine which version of Windows is installed on your computer. To do this, right-click on the MY COMPUTER icon on your desktop, then select PROPERTIES. Below the SYSTEM heading, you will see your Windows version listed.You can also determine your Windows version using the Windows version number. For example, if you are using Windows 98 Gold, the version will be “4.10.1998.” If you are using Windows 98 Second Edition, the version will be “4.10.2222A.”

Note: a digital video camera is used in the following setup instructions as an example of a commonly used FireWire peripheral.You can substitute any FireWire peripheral in its place.
