Configuring Windows 2000 Professional

Step 1

After you have installed the PCI card in your com-
puter, turn on the power and allow the system to boot
normally.

Step 2

On the Windows desktop, right-click the icon for My
Computer.
On the menu that appears, click Proper-
ties.
The system properties dialog box will appear.
Click the Hardware tab to bring it to the front, then
click the Device Manager button.

Note: Windows did
not display anything
when you started up
your computer to
acknowledge the
fact that you had
installed new hard-
ware. This was
because it recog-
nized the modem as
one corresponding
with one of the
generic drivers that
come as part of Win-
dows 2000, in this
case the OHCI
Compliant IEEE
1394 Host Controller
driver. This proce-
dure effectively tells
Windows to use the
Actiontec driver
instead, which will
allow you to take full
advantage of the
1394 FireWire
Card’s features and
capabilities.

Step 3

In Device Manager, click the plus (+) sign next to
IEEE 1394 Bus Host Controller to expand that sec-
tion of the listing. A listing for OHCI Compliant
IEEE 1394 Host Controller should appear.
