If you've never installed an expansion card into your PC, it's no more difficult than putting your shoes on. Making sure you're grounded for ESD purposes (electrostatic discharge), remove you computer case and secure the PCI to IEEE 1394 card into an available PCI slot. Close the case back up and you're ready to go. IT'S THAT SIMPLE! Just plug your 1394 device into the PCI card and your system will recognize the device right away.

Connecting your IEEE 1394 device

Plug the IEEE 1394 cable into the card just as you would a USB cable, the way in which the IEEE 1394 cable is connected is no different, this is the ease and simplicity of firewire cables and devices. Once your cable is connected, just plug your firewire device in and you're ready to go. In this test of the PCI to IEEE 1394 card a Mass Storage 3.5" firewire hard drive enclosure was used. The PCI to IEEE 1394 card is an excellent way to add mass storage devices to your computer. You can also take advantage of the PCI card by adding devices simultaneously to the available ports in the PCI card.

Shown to the right is the result of the hard drive connected to the PCI card. The drive is indicated inside the red area. Because the PCI card is plug and play, there are no conflicts. Firewire devices can be plugged and unplugged at your leisure.

In this case the end result was a working hard drive enclosure connected through the PCI to IEEE 1394 card. See the screen shot below.
