CONNECTING THE IEEE 1394 (FIREWIRE
®
, I.LINK
®
) PORT
You will fi nd a single 10-pin connector on a cable attached to the front IEEE 1394 connection.
This is an Intel standard connector, which is keyed so that it can’t be accidentally reversed as long
as it is connected to a proper Intel standard motherboard header. Connect the 10-pin connector to
your motherboard header so that the blocked pin fi ts over the missing header pin.
Note: Please check your motherboard manual for your IEEE 1394 header pin layout and make sure
it matches the attached table. If you intend to connect the front FireWire port to an IEEE 1394
add-on card that comes with an external-type IEEE1394 connector, please call Antec customer ser-
vice at (800) 22ANTEC (North America) or +31 (0) 10 462-2060 (Europe) to buy an adapter. This
adapter will allow you to connect the front IEEE 1394 port to the external-type connector.
