require this optional power adapter to work. If you need to connect a power adapter, please
ensure that it meets the following criteria:
Switching power adapter DC 12V, 1A

Warning!
Please remove possible static discharge potential from any objects that the
ExpressCard may come in contact with, before installation. This can be accomplished by
touching a large, grounded metal surface for several seconds.
Please Note:
The ExpressCard must be installed prior to peripheral device connection. Failing
this, the peripheral device and/or notebook computer may not function properly.
1. Locate an unused ExpressCard slot on the host computer.
2. Insert EC1394B2 into the available ExpressCard slot. Since this card is hot-pluggable, this can
be performed while the computer is on or off. Once the card has been inserted, ensure the
computer is powered, to proceed with installation.
3. Windows will detect that the card has been inserted, and will prompt for driver installation.
Follow the on-screen instructions. Once the driver has been installed, the operating system
will notify you that your new hardware is ready for use.
Verifying Successful Installation
To Verify Driver Installation:
1. Right click My Computer, then click Manage. Select Device Manager.
2. Double-click on 1394 Bus Controller or IEEE 1394 Bus host Controller. If the card has
successfully been installed, Texas Instruments OHCI Compliant IEEE 1394 Host Controller
should be displayed.
