Hardware Installation
1. Attach the AC adapter to a 100-240V outlet and
plug the adapter cord into the back of the hub.
2. The AC adapter is optional and, in most situations,
recommended for use ONLY while you are installing the
FireWire Hub. Once you determine that the devices are
working properly, unplug the AC adapter.
3. As long as the devices continue to operate properly, you
will not need the AC adapter. If they cease to function,
however, you will need the AC adapter.
4. Connect a FireWire 6-pin connector if the device has a
6-pin connection, or
5. Connect a FireWire 4-pin connector if the device has a
4-pin connection and does not require Bus power.
6. Connect the Hub with a 6-pin connector, and then connect
the Hub to the computer PCI Host Adapter with a
6-pin connection.
Note: A host adapter is required to operate the Belkin
4-Port Hub. IEEE 1394 drivers are loaded by the
operating system when a PCI Host Adapter is
installed or resident on the computer.
For troubleshooting, please see your PCI host
adapter or computer installation guide on IEEE
1394/FireWire/i.LINK interface adapters. Make sure
that your host adapter is recognized and operating
properly before starting your install of the Belkin IEEE
1394 4-Port Hub.
