38 ipod & itunes: the missing manual
Before you buy a FireWire card, make sure it’s compatible with your operating sys-
tem and hardware configuration. If youre pressed for time, you can go straight to
proven, Apple-approved goods by buying a Belkin PCI expansion card and a PC-
ready CardBus FireWire 400 card from the Apple Web site.
Installing the Card
Your package will have instructions on how to install the FireWire card, but the
general process is straightforward.
First, turn off the computer and unplug it. Depending on the design of your
computer, you may need to unplug all of the cables and cords coming out of the
back in order to get to get the outer case off. You may also need a screwdriver.
Static electricity is the enemy of an exposed circuit board, so discharge any built-
up electricity in your body before poking around the PC. Touching the metal
power supply (a big silver box inside the computer) or any metal on the back of
the computer should release any pent-up static.
Remove your new FireWire card from the antistatic bag it came in. Hold the card
by the edges, making sure not to get your fingers on the metal connectors that go
into the computer slot.
Locate an empty PCI slot on the computer’s motherboard. The PCI slots are
usually in the back, rimmed with white plastic the same length as the connector
strip on the bottom of the FireWire card. You may have to remove the screw that
holds the card bracket to the inside of the computer’s case. Remove the bracket
and screw and set it aside.
Installing a
FireWire Card
Figure 2-3:
FireWire cards come in all
shapes and sizes and can
add two, three, or four
FireWire ports to a
computer. The cards snap
into an empty PCI slot on
the computer’s mother-
board. Adding a FireWire
card will allow you to use
FireWire-enabled devices
like digital camcorders, CD
burners, and iPods.
