IEEE 1394
IEEE 1394 is a digital interface that can move large amounts of data between computers and
peripheral devices. IEEE 1394 is ideal for use with multimedia devices because it speeds the
transfer of data and large files, which enables a computer to connect directly to devices such as
digital video cameras.
NOTE: The connector can accept 4-pin IEEE 1394 devices with the use of an adapter.
Your computer may have an optional front IEEE 1394 connector (see "Front View of the
Computer" on page 57). This connector is only available if you purchased an add-in card that uses
IEEE 1394. To purchase a card, contact Dell.
