This is Your AFW-8300 Host Adapter

The AFW-8300 host adapter is a 64-bit universal PCI card. It will work in

either a 32-bit or 64-bit PCI slot; however, when it is plugged into a 64-bit

slot, it provides better performance because it is able to transfer more

data simultaneously.

See About the Internal Power Connector on page 6 for important

information about powering your 1394 devices.

Installing Your AFW-8300

To install the AFW-8300:

1Discharge any static electricity by touching a grounded metal object

(such as the exposed metal parts on the back of your computer)

before handling the adapter.

Caution:

Handle the adapter by its edges or metal bracket.

not

touch the gold connector or any components on the adapter.

2Turn off your computer and disconnect the power cord. Open the

computer cabinet, following the manufacturer’s instructions.

3Locate an unused 32-bit or 64-bit PCI expansion slot and remove the

expansion slot cover. Save the slot cover screw for use in Step 5.

4Insert the AFW-8300 into the PCI expansion slot. Press down firmly

until the adapter clicks into place. When installed properly, the

adapter should appear level with the expansion slot.

Note: Depending on the tightness of the PCI slot, gentle but

firm force may be required to insert the adapter.

5Secure the adapter bracket with the screw you removed in Step 3.

6If you plan to use FireWire devices that, when combined, draw more

than 1.5 A of power, plug an internal power cable to the adapter’s

internal power connector. (See About the Internal Power Connector on

page 6 for more information.)

7Close the computer cabinet, reattach the power cord, then turn on the

computer.

Installing the Driver

Follow the instructions provided for your operating system:

■For Windows OSs, see this page.

■For Macintosh OSs, see page 6.

Driver Installation—Windows

Before you begin, ensure you have the most recent Windows OS updates

installed on your computer. Refer the Microsoft Web site to download

updates.

1When you power on your computer, Windows automatically detects

the new host adapter and loads an embedded driver.

Note: When this Guide was printed, Microsoft 1394 drivers

supported FireWire 400 speeds (400 Mbps) only.

2Restart your computer if you are prompted to do so.

3Go to the Windows Device Manager and check that the AFW-8300 is

installed under the IEEE 1394 Bus Host Controller section.

Driver Installation—Macintosh

If you are using Macintosh OS X, no driver installation is required. Your

AFW-8300 works with the drivers built in to your operating system.

Note: Only FireWire 400 is supported on the AFW-8300 in

Mac OS 9.1 – Mac OS X 10.2.4.

If you are using an earlier version of the Macintosh OS, verify that the

necessary drivers are installed on your computer by going to the System

folder and opening the Extensions folder. FireWire Support and FireWire

Enabler should be listed. If these files are not listed, go to

www.info.apple.com and download the latest FireWire software.

Note: Ensure you have the latest FireWire software installed on

your computer before contacting Adaptec for technical support.

About the Internal Power Connector

The AFW-8300 host adapter can provide up to 1 A of power to a single

port, or a total of 1.5 A of power across all three ports if more than one

port is in use. You can increase the amount of power available to

connected devices by connecting the internal power connector (shown

above) to a power supply within your computer.

Refer to the documentation that came with your computer for more

information.
