Connecting Devices
Connecting Devices
The FireConnect for Notebooks kit contains one 6-to-4-pin FireWire
cable. When attaching devices that do not supply their own power,
attach an external power supply to the FireConnect for Notebooks
adapter; use a power adapter with 12-V, 1.5-A DC output.
Daisy-Chain Connections
You can connect up to 62 devices in a daisy chain. All devices in the
daisy chain must supply their own power. Non-self-powered
devices may be attached using a separate FireConnect for Notebooks
adapter port.
If you disconnect a daisy-chained device while the computer and
other devices are powered on, the devices that come after the
disconnected device on the daisy chain may malfunction until the
computer is rebooted. To avoid this problem
■
Use a separate port on the FireConnect for Notebooks adapter
for the hot-plugged device.
■
Attach the hot-plugged device at the far end of the cable from
the FireConnect for Notebooks adapter.
■
Use a hub (or repeater).
