Lindy AGERE IEEE 1394 70914 - Manual (Page 7)

6
The Windows 98/SE installation CD includes the Agere 1394 OHCI driver, so you do
not need an installation CD or diskette. After the installation has finished and the
computer has rebooted, you may connect 1394/FireWire devices to it.
The first time you hot-plug a 1394 device into one of the host adapter ports, you will be
asked to insert your Windows 98/SE installation CD. However, you won’t need to
insert the CD to add additional 1394 devices; they should automatically appear in the
Device Manager after they are connected.
7.0 How to use the Adapter
This chapter covers a few points on how to use the adapter once it is installed in your
computer system.
Connecting Devices
There are two ways to connect 1394/FireWire devices to the host adapter. Devices
can connect in serial in a “daisy chain” or through a repeater connected to one of the
adapter ports.
5. When the dialogue box below
appears onscreen, the
installation is finished. Click
Finish to complete setup. You
will be instructed to reboot your
computer.
6. After rebooting, click on the
Device Manager tab in System
Properties, which you access
from the Windows Control Panel.
You should see an entry for the
driver you installed under the
1394 Bus Controller item. If the
driver is not listed, please go
back to Step 1 and reinstall the
adapter.
