4.6 Using the IEEE 1394 Port 4.7 PCI Express card/Newcard
The PCI Express card (or Newcard) slot can be used as an inter-
face between your computer and a variety of communication de-
vices, such as network adapters, fax/modems or external storage
devices.
►Inserting a Card◄
1. Insert the card with label side up, make sure that the metal con-
nector is inserted into the card slot.
2. Insert the card into the slot. You will feel some resistance as the
card reaches to the end.
3. Your PCI Express cards require drivers, or programs that allow
the operating system to use the device. Your Windows operating
system should already contain the driver for your device, if not,
you will be prompted to install the driver.
4. The computer will beep twice to indicate successful installation.
A single beep means there was a problem recognizing the card.
►Removing a Card◄
1. Press the eject button on the card slot to release the eject but-
ton, then press the eject button again to release the card.
With the built-in IEEE 1394 port, you can connect your IEEE 1394-
compatible peripherals for video transmission or data backup. The
Windows operating system will automatically recognize the device
and install appropriate driver(s) for it. Yet it is still recommended to
install the drivers that came with your peripherals. For more infor-
mation, please refer to your hardware manuals.
