confirm to install proper device drivers, which the device
manufacture supplies, designed for your operating system. If
not, Opticis M4-200/201 might not work.
AC/DC Power Adapter Technical Advisory
When IEEE 1394 (Firewire) devices or controllers are self-powered,
the Power LED is illuminated and the shipping group’s external DC
power adapter is not required. Use only if the Power LED is off
when the entire system is powered up. The power adaptor in the
shipping group can supply to 1394 device up to 12V 1A (12W)
through M4-200/201.
Tip:
This installation advisory is highlighted to avoid power conflicts
between self-powered devices and controllers, and unnecessarily applied
external power.
