IEEE 1394 Devices
Your Versa is equipped with an IEEE 1394 port that increases your connectivity choices. This port allows you
to daisy chain up to 63 IEEE 1394 devices to your system. IEEE1394 devices support Plug and Play
connectivity for transfer rates of up to 400 Mbps. These peripherals may include a digital camera, scanner,
printer, or other device.
Note
: IEEE 1394 connectors of two types (4-pin, also known as Mini-IEEE 1394, or 6-pin) are widely
available. Make sure that your IEEE 1394 cable is equipped with the plugs that fit in your notebook and IEEE
1394-compliant device. Both devices must not necessarily be equipped with the same type of plug.
Connect a IEEE 1394 device to your system as follows.
1. Install the drivers for your device in Windows.
2. Locate the mini-IEEE 1394 port on your system.
Note : some IEEE 1394 devices draw their power from the notebook power system, thereby reducing battery
life. Always connect your system to an AC power source before connecting these devices.
3. Plug the IEEE 1394 device into the mini-IEEE 1394 port.
Note
: IEEE 1394 devices can be hot-swapped or plugged, meaning that you do not need to turn off your
system before plugging or removing IEEE 1394 devices.
Note:
refer to the device's documentation for any additional instructions.
