Hardware Guide

    

Hardware Installation

Follow the instructions given below to install the PCI Card:

Turn your computer off and remove the power plug from the plug socket.

1. 

Remove the cover from the computer case.

2. 

Remove the metal cover plate on the rear of the free PCI slot.

3. 

Insert the PCI card into the free PCI slot and screw it firmly on the 

4. 

bracket side. 

Place the cover back onto the computer.

5. 

Insert the plug into the plug socket.

6. 

Driver Installation

Windows 2000 / XP / Vista

 

If your operating system is Windows 2000 or later,  no need to install 

separate drivers. When you start up the computer, the SWF2620 is installed 

automatically. 

Hardware Verification

Click on 

Start > Control Panel > System > Device Manager.  

Check if the 

driver under  “IEEE 1394 Bus host controllers” is available.

Troubleshooting

 If the card and devices connected to the computer do not 

 

work properly, what do I do?

Ensure all cables are connected correctly and securely.

1. 

Ensure the devices are turned on. 

2. 

Ensure the devices are powered on. 

3. 

If a powered repeater is connected to the computer, ensure it is turned on.

4. 

If the devices are connected in a daisy chain and problems occur when 

5. 

disconnecting a device,  you can try to reconnect the device.  If problems 

still exist, restart the computer. 

Ensure the card is installed properly.

6. 

The computer is unable to detect SWF2620

 

Ensure the PCI cards is correctly plugged into the PCI slot;  if not, turn off 

1. 

the computer and plug it in again

If SWF2620 is plugged in correctly, ensure the golden connectors on 

2. 

the card are clean.  If problems still exist,  replace the PCI slot on your 

motherboard.

I cannot install SWF2620 driver properly.

 

Ensure  the operating system of your computer is Windows 2000 service 

pack4, Windows XP service pack3 or later.  You can upgrade the latest “Service 

Packs” on the website provided by your software vendor, such as 

http://www.

microsoft.com

 .

Note

:  the first edition of  Windows 98 does NOT support SWF2620.

 My computer cannot start up after SWF2620 is inserted.

 

Ensure the operating system is the latest service pack version.

1. 

Turn off the computer, remove SWF2620, and try to restart the computer.  

2. 

If the computer cannot startup successfully, then this SWF2620 is possibly 

defective.  Contact the dealer for more information.

 If the Windows installation CD is lost, how can I install the 

 

driver?

The SWF2620 driver, is supplied with the Windows installation CD. so that 

it makes connections for both PC peripherals and consumer electronics 

possible.  If no installation CD is available,  contact the Microsoft technical 

support center or website for more information.

 There is no sound obtained from the camera in the video 

 

software.

Connect the sound output of the camera to the “LINE-IN” on your sound card.

 There is no image obtained from the camera in the video 

 

software?

Connect the FireWire cable properly to the camera and the 1394 adapter. 
Turn on  the camera, then start your video software. Select the camera in 

your video software and select the necessary settings.

The digi

 

t

al video device fails to work.

If the connection between your computer and DV device terminates (e.g. 

1. 

an error message appears on the screen),  turn off and then turn on the 

DV device again.  You can also disconnect the cable between the PC and 

the device and reconnect it again!! 

To restart your system, turn off your computer and DV device.  Then turn 

2. 

on your computer and DV camcorder or tape deck after a few seconds 

after your computer has completed the startup process. 

If the device needs an external power supply, connect the power source. 

3. 

If the connection fails, check the power requirements for the device (they 

cannot exceed 12-Volt and 500mA PCI bus specifications

).

How to u

 IEEE 1394 network in Windows XP ?

A ‘1394 net Adapter’ is also installed automatically in Windows XP.   It can 

make a fast network connection between two Windows XP systems via a 

FireWire connection. You can see it in the device manager.

If you have two computers which operate Windows XP  (such as a PC and a 

notebook) and both computers have FireWire connection,  you can make a 

direct, fast network connection between these computers via a FireWire cable. 

Note:   

You can connect either the IEEE1394 network or the existing LAN network

., 

but not both.

Follow the instructions below:

Connect the FireWire cable to the FireWire connection on botH 

1. 

computers. 

Start Windows XP on both systems. 

2. 

Click on 

3. 

“Start > All Programs > Accessories > Communications > 

Network Setup Wizard “

 to start the network configuration program. 

Follow the on-screen instructions. 

4. 

Select ‘1394 net adapter.

5. 

Enter the required network settings.. For example, you can make a shared 

6. 

intranet connection if one computer has a modem. 

Follow the Setup Wizard on both computers.

7. 

After completing the Wizard, click on 

8. 

‘Start > Connect to > Show > All 

Connections

’. If the card has been installed correctly, the Fire Wire(IEEE 

1394) network will be displayed here.

For more information on how to create and manage the network connection, 

see the Windows XP Help function and contact your PC network 

adminstrator for assistance.

 Does the IEEE 1394 network function work in other 

 

operation system?

Windows 2000 and XP can support networking over a FireWire connection.   

A network can be set up between two computers through a standard 

FireWire cable or multiple computers through a hub.   It is similar to Ethernet 

networks with some major differences.  The transfer speed and circuit 

length between the standard FireWire cable and Ethernet network are 

different.  Also the standard FireWire cable can be used for point-to-point 

communication.  

Note:  For Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008, Microsoft does not support 

IP network function
