Installing the IEEE 1394/Firewire Interface Board

If your computer is not already equipped with a built-in IEEE 1394 interface port or a suitable expansion board or card, you can install the IEEE 1394/Firewire interface board provided with your scanner. Detailed instructions may be found in the manual included with the interface board.

Do I Need to Install the IEEE 1394/Firewire Interface Board?

You will not need to install the IEEE 1394 (Firewire) interface board provided with your scanner if:

•Your computer is equipped with a built-in IEEE 1394 (Firewire) port. Macintosh users should note that old-model (beige) G3 computers are not equipped with a built-in Firewire port.

•Your computer is equipped with an IEEE 1394 (Firewire) expansion board or card approved for use with the 8000 ED.

The IEEE 1394 (Firewire) interface board included with your scanner can not be used in laptop computers or in low-profile PCI slots. In these cases, you will need to install one of the interface boards or cards recommended by Nikon. For more information, see the following web site:

Installing the Interface Board

There are two steps to installing the interface board:

1.Insert the interface board in one of your computer’s free PCI slots ( 10)
