Installation Instructions
3 Port 2b 1a 1394 PCI Express FireWire Card Adapter
StarTech ID: PEX1394B3
This 3 Port PCI Express FireWire adapter card can be installed in a PCI Express slot to add two IEEE1394b
(FireWire 800 - 9 pin) ports and one IEEE1394a (FireWire 400 - 6 pin) port, providing broad compatibility with a
wide range of FireWire devices (e.g. DV camcorders, external hard drives, digital cameras, etc.).
The 2b, 1a card features a native (single chip) PCI Express chipset - resulting in faster, more reliable and cost
effective performance than expansion cards that utilize a "bridge" chip.
