6 Installing the PCI Card
Step 5 Insert the PCI card into the available PCI expansion
slot. Ensure that the card is seated properly before
securing it with the screw removed in Step 4, as
shown in the following diagram.
Figure 2: Installing The PCI Card
Note: Make sure the
power connector
from your system is
long enough to
reach the card so
that there is no ten-
sion in the wires. If
the spare power
connector available
in your system will
not reach the card,
use the power con-
nector provided with
the card as an
extension
Step 6 On the card is a white, 4-wire “female” power con-
nector. Connect this device to an unused “male” con-
nector coming from your computer’s power supply.
Step 7 Put the chassis cover back on the computer.
Step 8 Make sure that all power switches are in the OFF
position, then reconnect the power cables to the com-
puter and its peripherals.
Step 9 Turn on the computer and proceed to the following
sections to configure the Actiontec 1394 FireWire
Card for the operating system you are using.
Connecting Devices to the Actiontec 1394 FireWire Card
On the rear panel of the Actiontec 1394 FireWire Card are
jacks to connect FireWire devices. Make sure, especially when
connecting multiple devices to the 1394 FireWire Card that
your PC’s internal power has been connected to the card. See
Step 6 above for details on how to make this connection.
