with the PCI Local Bus Specification,Revision2.1.TheFW-7344
controller is fully compatible with the IEEE 1394 specification. This
compatibility allows the computer to automatically perform all bus-related
configuration and requires no user interaction. There are no jumpers to
configure for bus-related configuration.

You can install the PCI-7344, PXI-7344, or PCI-7334 controller in any
open compatible expansion slot in your computer. The typical power
required for each controller is given in Appendix A, Specifications.
