Installing the adapter

Note: FireWire devices have their own power supply and do

not require the optional power adapter to be connected in

order to work. However non-powered FireWire devices require

an optional 12V/2A power adapter to work.

Installing the adapter

To install the FireWire ExpressCard adapter:

• Carefully insert the adapter into the ExpressCard slot of

your laptop until it’s firmly seated in the ExpressCard slot.

(Refer to the ExpressCard slot instructions from your

laptop’s user guide).

Windows installation:

Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Vista automatically detect the

adapter after it is installed, then installs the correct driver. No separate

driver installation is needed.

To verify proper installation in Windows:

1To verify if the device exists in your computer and is

enabled, right-click My Computer, then select

Properties.

2Click Device Manager and open the entry IEEE 1394 Bus

host controllers.

If the device has been properly installed, its sub-entry

should be displayed as OHCI Compliant IEEE 1394 Host

Controller in Windows 2000 and Windows XP or AGERE

OHCI Compliant IEEE 1394 Host Controller in

Windows Vista.

Mac OS X (v10.4 or later) installation:

Computers with Mac OS X v10.4 or later include a FireWire driver provided

by the operating system. No additional driver software is necessary. After

the FireWire ExpressCard adapter is installed, start the computer.

DX-ECFW_08-1308-ENG.fm Page 5 Friday, June 20, 2008 4:35 PM

Troubleshooting

Windows Device Manager does not

show the IEEE 1394 Bus host

controllers or the OHCI Compliant

IEEE 1394 Host Controller

• Repeat the driver installation procedures,

then see if the device appears in Device

Manager.

• The computer’s operating system version

may need to be updated to support

IEEE 1394 devices. Refer to the Windows

or Apple Web site to update the

computer to the latest OS version or

service pack.

Camera and camcorder connecting

problems

• Check the Device Manager to see if the

DVcamera is detected and installed. If

the DV camera is connected to the

FireWire ExpressCard adapter, the Device

Manager should display Microsoft DV

camera and VCR under Imaging

Device in the Control Panel.

• If these entries are not present, the

camera may not connect to the FireWire

ExpressCard adapter correctly. Check the

cable connections to both the camera

and adapter. Make sure that the camera

is turned on and working.

• The computer’s operating system version

may need to be updated to support

IEEE-1394 devices. Refer to either

Windows or Apple Web sites to update

the computer to the latest OS version or

service pack.

Troubleshooting

Other Windows IEEE 1394 device

connecting problems

• Check the Device Manager to see if the

device exists.

•ClickontheIEEE 1394 Bus host

controller sub-entry and make sure

that there are no conflicts. Conflicts are

indicated by an entry with a red Xor a

yellow exclamation point (!). If a conflict

is found, see Windows Help for

instructions to solve the problem.

• Repeat the device driver installation

procedures.

• Make sure that the attached device driver

is using a current version. Usually

updated device drivers are available for

download on the device manufacturer’s

Web site.

During installation, Windows

cannot locate the files needed to

complete installation.

If Windows reports that it is unable to find

the file necessary to install the FireWire

ExpressCard adapter, there will be a field at

the bottom of the window requesting

where to “Copy files from.” In this location,

change the file location to match the OS CD.

If using Windows 2000 or XP, change to

D:\i386. (If Dis the drive letter of the

CD-ROM). Some particular files may

actually exist on the system already but

need to be located through Windows

Search. Each computer may vary slightly.
