## Long description

The StarTech.com FireWire Adapter Card PCI1394MP adds four IEEE 1394 (FireWire) ports to a desktop computer via a PCI slot — three external ports and one internal port. The card supports data transfer rates up to 0.4 Gbit/s and uses a Texas Instruments chipset for stable operation. It includes both standard-profile and low-profile brackets for installation in full‑size and small form factor systems, and is compatible with a range of Windows and Mac systems. CE, UL and FCC certifications are listed for regulatory compliance.
Advantages
This adapter provides both external and an internal FireWire connection, enabling use with external drives, digital camcorders, iPods and front-panel card readers. The card supports hot-swapping so devices can be plugged or unplugged without powering down the PC. A low-profile bracket is included for slim or SFF enclosures, and the product is backed by StarTech.com’s lifetime warranty and free lifetime technical support.
Suitable for
Connecting digital camcorders and video capture devices for transfers at IEEE 1394 speeds
Attaching external FireWire hard drives and portable storage

How to use
Install the card into an available PCI slot on a powered-off desktop system, securing it with the appropriate bracket (standard or low-profile) for your chassis. Reconnect power and boot the computer; compatible operating systems should recognize the adapter and install drivers automatically or prompt for driver installation. Connect external FireWire devices to the external ports and internal peripherals, such as a front-panel card reader, to the internal header. Use hot-swap functionality to connect or remove devices while the system is running where supported by the OS and device.
Usage recommendations
For digital video editing workflows that require accompanying capture software, consider the complete StarTech.com FireWire kit (sold separately) which includes compatible Windows-only software. Ensure your system’s BIOS and operating system support PCI add-in cards and check for any required drivers when using older OS versions such as Windows XP.
