Connection to a Macintosh computer

Important Note

: 

You can connect the interface cable to either IEEE 1394 port on the 

CRW2100FXZ drive.

Important Note

: The IEEE 1394 standard defines the maximum cable length of a single interface

cable as 4.5 meters. Bear this in mind if using an interface cable longer than the supplied one.

If your computer has a 4-pin IEEE 1394 port connector (especially common on notebook
computers), use a cable with a 6-pin connector on one end and a 4-pin connector on the
other.
