Setup Procedures
Notes on Connecting IEEE1394 Devices
Remember the following notes when connecting the CRW8824IX drive to the
host computer along with other IEEE1394 devices.
● For optimum performance of writing a CD, connect the CRW8824IX directly
or solely to the host computer.
● Do not connect or disconnect any IEEE1394 devices while the CRW8824IX is
in operation (especially when writing to a disc).
● If there is a slower device connected between the host computer and
CRW8824IX drive, the data transfer between CRW8824IX drive and the host
computer will go slow, which may cause failure in writing a CD.
● The IEEE1394 ports on the CRW8824IX drive have 6-pin connectors, but do
not supply power (IEEE1394 bus power).
● If you are using the host computer that does not supply power to the
IEEE1394 bus, turning off the CRW8824IX drive on that bus may cause
“broken communication” between the host computer and the device directly
connected to the CRW8824IX and after. So, do keep all devices turned on
while using them in the chain to avoid such problems.
Connecting Multiple IEEE1394 Peripherals Together
Connecting in a daisy-chain
A maximum single cable length: 4.5m
A single daisy-chain can contain up to
17 devices including the host computer.
CRW8824IX
Connecting in a tree
An entire system can contain up to
63 devices including the host computer.
