Using 1394 devices
IEEE 1394 is a hardware interface that connects a high-speed multimedia or data storage device to
the computer. Scanners, digital cameras, and digital camcorders often require a 1394 connection.
Some 1394 devices may require additional support software, which is usually included with the
device. For more information about device-specific software, refer to the manufacturer's instructions.
The 1394 port also supports IEEE 1394a devices.
Connecting a 1394 device
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of damage to a 1394 port connector, use minimal force to connect the
device.
▲ To connect a 1394 device to the computer, connect the 1394 cable for the device to the 1394
port.
NOTE: When you connect a 1394 device, you may see a message in the notification area to
let you know that the device is recognized by the system.
Removing a 1394 device
