Basic Troubleshooting
If you find that the peripherals connected to EC13942A2 (in the
powered state) are not functioning, or are not being detected, please
ensure the following:
1. The drivers have been installed.
2. Any previous driver installations (if this product has been
previously installed) have been removed.
3. There are no conflicts with other device drivers. To determine this:
a) Browse to the Device Manager, by right-clicking on My
Computer, and selecting Manage. In the left pane, click on
Device Manager.
b) Look for any exclamation marks (!) or question marks (?) listed
next to the FireWire controller card, in the right pane.
