If your PC does not have a functioning FireWire port, you must install the IEEE 1394 PCI card that came
with your camera.
If necessary, install the supplied IEEE 1394 PCI card:
•
Shut down your computer.
•
Open the case, and install the supplied IEEE 1394 card into an empty PCI slot. See the user’s
manual for your computer for complete instructions on installing new PCI cards.
•
Restart your computer. Windows should automatically install the appropriate software
drivers for the card.
Step 2. Install Your Imaging Software
Once the IEEE 1394 card is installed in your computer, you are ready to install the FireWire drivers and
imaging software. See your Imaging Software User’s Guide for complete installation instructions.
Step 3. Connect the Retiga EXi Fast 1394
Once your imaging software is installed, connect your camera. There are two different types of
connections. In most cases, the FireWire cable provides the necessary power required by the Retiga
EXi Fast 1394. However, if your camera is cooled you may need to provide additional power to the
camera in one of the ways listed in the following figures. Most noteably, you will need to either
connect your camera with a 1394l power supply or through an IEEE 1394 HUB. Both items are
available from your QImaging dealer.
