INSTALLATION
Step 1. Install the 1394 PCI card (Windows Users Only)
This step is for Windows PC users only. If you are installing the Retiga EXi Fast 1394 on a Mac OS
computer, please skip to Step 2.
Check your computer for an existing FireWire port:
The Retiga EXi Fast 1394 connects to your Windows PC via a FireWire port. If you already have a
FireWire port, you do not have to install the IEEE 1394 PCI card. Check the connectors at the back of
your PC for a port that matches the FireWire ports on your camera (Figure 1 and Figure 2).
