nYou can connect the interface cable to either IEEE1394 port on the CRW8824IX drive.

nThe IEEE1394 standard defines the maximum cable length of a single interface cable as 4.5 meters. Bear this in mind if using an interface cable longer than the supplied one.

If your computer has a 4-pin IEEE1394 port connector (especially common on notebook computers), use a cable with a 6-pin connector on one end and a 4-pin connector on the other.
