Basics FireWire Technology - 45
200 Mbps and supports a single digital video camera. The
external FireWire cable, which ships with the card,
connects any one of the 6-pin, external connectors on the
card to a 4-pin connector on the digital video camera.
The Apple FireWire Card is designed to keep the network
alive even if the Macintosh is shut down. Loss of power to the
Macintosh will not affect the operation of a FireWire card as
long as it can draw power from other cards on the bus. Each
card provides power which is available to other devices on
the network. This means that a system shutdown will not
result in interrupted transmission over a FireWire
network.
Important:
For more information about cable management
and power issues, please refer to the FireWire ReadMe file
on the FireWire CD.
