The 1394b port on the Osprey-300 functions
at the maximum IEEE-1394b rated speed of
800 megabits per second. The ports are fully
backward compatible with S100, S200 and S400
rated 1394 devices.
The Osprey card is equipped with two 1394
connectors:
• 6-pin connector for S100, S200 and S400
rated 1394 devices (standard FireWire)
• 9-pin connector for the latest FireWire800
devices.
Up to 63 devices may be connected in a chain
through either of these ports.
NOTE: Although both ports can support high-
speed communication, 1394b devices should
always be connected to the 9-pin connector to
ensure that connected devices take advantage of
1394b communication protocol enhancements
and avoid earlier cable length restrictions. Older
1394 devices may be connected to either port
appropriate cables.
FireWire devices are designed to be hot-
pluggable; it is not necessary to power down
the host PC when connecting or disconnecting
devices to the Osprey 300’s FireWire ports.
