Follow these steps to attach a Digital Video Camera to your

AFW-4300.

Using a standard 6-to-4-pin 1394 cable, plug the larger connector

(6-pin) of the cable into the external 1394 port on AFW-4300.

Plug the smaller connector (4-pin) of the 1394 cable into the

1394 port on your digital video camera.

You are now ready to install the 1394 software included with the

AFW-4300. See the installation instructions included on your

CD-ROM jacket cover for more information.

STEP 2

When inserting the 4-pin connector of the 1394

cable into the DV camera, make surethe connector and the

1394 port are properly aligned. Failure to do so can bend the

pins and damage the internal connector of the camera.

There are two types of 1394 connectors commonly

used; a 4-pin anda 6-pin. The AFW-4300 has three 6-pin

connectors on it. Digital Video cameras use a 4-pin

connection and may not include the cable.Other peripherals

typically use a 6-pin connection and include a corresponding

6-to-6-pin cable for you toconnect the device toyour

FireConnect 4300.

CAUTION

NOTE

STEP 3

1394IG.fm Page 5 Thursday, November 9, 2000 8:55 AM

You can connect up to 62 1394 devices to the AFW-4300 in

almost any configuration using either 6-to-6-pin or 6-to-4-pin

1394 cables.

If you have any problems while installing the AFW-4300, check

the followingitems first:

•Is the card seated evenly all the way into the PCI slot?

•Isbus mastering support provided and enabled for the PCI

slot containing the AFW-4300? (Check your motherboard

documentation for information on this.)

•Isyour 1394 DV camcorder or device powered on?

•Isthe 1394 cable properly connected to AFW-4300 and the

DV camcorder, or other 1394 device?

•Checked the Windows 2000 Event Log if you encounter

problems loading the drivers on your Windows 2000

operating system?

•Checked the troubleshooting section of your operating

system user manual?

•Checked the Software Tutorial and Read Me file on the CD if

you encounter any problems with the software?

•If the driver fails to load, moved the card to a different PCI

slot?

CONNECTING OTHER 1394 DEVICES

The AFW-4300 host adapter supports hot-plugging,

allowing 1394 devices to be attached and recognizedeven

when the computer is powered on.

Some peripheral manufacturers support hot-plugging

in different ways. Please see instructions for each device to

determine the best way to attach and mount the peripheral.
