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-SRV on a Mac OS computer,
please skip to Step 2.
Check your computer for an existing FireWire port:
The Retiga-SRV 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 port of the connection shown in Figure 1.

If your PC does not have a functioning FireWire port, you must install the IEEE 1394 PCI card that came
with your camera.

DO NOT CONNECT the camera until the camera driver is installed.
