DatOptic Dual Internal FireWire Kit Manual

Congratulations on purchasing a DatOptic Internal FireWire Kit. This internal kit

will drastically lower your CPU usage by converting the ATA/ATAPI device to

FireWire IEEE1394. Similar to SCSI, the FireWire IEEE1394 has its own Bus so

there is very minimal CPU usage. You will notice that your computer will operate

more efficiently when the device is used as a FireWire drive instead of an

ATA/ATAPI drive.

Please follow the step by step instructions for quick installation of the DatOpic FireWire Kit.

Inspect the package and make sure you have the following parts:

Installing the DatOptic 1394 PCI host adapter 1) Turn off your computer, pull out the power cable and open up your computer. 2) Look for an available PCI slot and install the 1394 PCI host adapter into the available slot. 3) Leave your computer open, plug in the power cable and turn on your computer. Windows will boot up and detect the 1394 PCI FireWire adapter. If you are using Windows98SE, you will need to download the Windows 98SE FireWire patch. Windows ME/2000/XP may ask for your setup disk.
