Before you Install the 1394 FireWire Card

Make sure you have your Windows 98 or Windows 98 Second Edition (SE) CD-ROM on hand during the installation pro- cess. Windows may need to copy some files from its own instal- lation CD-ROM during the installation of the 1394 FireWire Card. In this case, insert your Windows installation CD when it is requested and follow the on-screen instructions. When windows has copied the files it needs, you will be returned to the installation process where you left it.

To reduce the chance that there will be problems operating the 1394 FireWire Card, do not install it at the same time as you install any other PCI devices.

Use the extension cable provided to avoid stretching the power cables in your computer to reach the card. The cable from your computer’s power supply should be able to reach farther, when fully extended, than the location of the card. Make sure there is slack in the cable when the connection has been made.
