4.4. Connecting the Firewire Drive

Important Note: Before connecting the CRW2100FXZ drive and the computer as described below, make sure that you have installed appropriate CD writing software (P. 34-35). If you are just installing the CD writing software, first disconnect all IEEE1394 devices from your computer. After properly installing the software, you are ready to connect the devices. For information about how to install the software, refer to the documentation that came with it.

If your computer has no built-in IEEE1394 port, you will first need to install an IEEE1394 interface card (purchased separately). Yamaha recommends IEEE1394 Interface cards outlined in section 4.2 (page 22). You can purchase IEEE1394 controller cards at your local computer peripheral retailer or you may contact Yamaha toll-free at 888-926-2426 to purchase a compatible IEEE1394 controller card. For information about how to install the card, refer to the documentation that came with it.
