Troubleshooting
IEEE 1394, also known as FireWire ® , is a true Plug-n-Play connection. It allows you to easily connect a
new device without turning off your computer. But please note that the FireWire ® CardBus card does
not support PCMCIA hot swapping or Plug-n-Play.
This means that you can plug and unplug your new peripheral such as a camcorder, scanner or printer
to the CardBus port without first powering down your computer while the FireWire
® CardBus is in the
slot of the computer. Once the FireWire ® CardBus is extracted, you must reboot your computer again.
The following information about troubleshooting is for your use should you have trouble using the
FireWire
® CardBus card.
- Please check the status of FireWire ® CardBus card. If the FireWire ® CardBus card doesn't work
properly, please shut down your computer and extract the FireWire ® CardBus card and then reinsert
the card and reconnect the cable to the port on the card if necessary. After restarting the computer,
check to see if the card is working properly.
- Check all of the cables to make certain they are securely connected and that correct cables are in
use.
- Please make sure that the external FireWire
