Using FireWire

Using FireWire

FireWire is a high-speed data transfer system that lets you easily connect and disconnect external devices—such as iPod devices, digital video (DV) cameras, printers, scanners, and hard disk drives. You can connect and disconnect FireWire devices without restarting your computer. Your computer includes three external FireWire ports.

•Two FireWire 400 ports, one on the front and one on the back, support a maximum data rate of up to 400 megabits per second (Mbps).

•One high-speed FireWire 800 port on the back supports a maximum data rate of up to 800 megabits per second (Mbps).

FireWire 800 port

The FireWire 800 port on your Power Mac G5 transfers data from 800 Mbps FireWire devices much faster than was possible before. This port has a 9-pin connector, and is compatible with original FireWire devices with 6-pin or 4-pin connectors.

With an appropriate cable, the 9-pin port works seamlessly with all FireWire devices. Cables are available for connecting the 9-pin port to 4-pin, 6-pin, and 9-pin devices.
