Frequently Asked Questions - CARTE FIREWIRE 3-PORT PCI EXPRESS #F5U504 BELKIN
How to install the FireWire PCI Express card?
Turn off the computer, unplug all cables, remove the cover. Locate a free PCI Express slot, remove the corresponding metal bracket. Carefully insert the card, aligning the connector, then replace the cover. Turn on the computer: Windows will automatically detect the hardware and install the driver. Do not connect any device until the driver installation is complete.
Which operating systems are compatible?
The card is compatible with Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows Server 2003. Later versions of Windows (Vista, 7, 8, 10) may also work with generic drivers, but Belkin does not guarantee full support.
Can I use this card in a standard PCI slot?
No, this card is designed only for PCI Express slots (x1, x4, x8 or x16). It is not suitable for classic PCI slots.
Does the card support hot-plugging?
Yes, the FireWire standard (IEEE 1394a) supports hot-plugging. You can connect and disconnect devices without turning off the computer, provided the driver is properly installed.
What is the maximum data transfer rate of this card?
The transfer rate reaches up to 400 Mbps (megabits per second) thanks to the IEEE 1394a standard. This rate is shared among the three ports.
How to verify that the card is properly installed?
Open Windows Device Manager. Expand the 'IEEE 1394 Bus Controllers' category. You should see an entry 'Texas Instruments OHCI Compliant IEEE 1394 Host Controller'. If so, the installation is successful.
Can I use the internal FireWire port?
Yes, the internal port allows connecting a FireWire device inside the case (e.g., card reader, hard drive). It works like the external ports but requires an appropriate cable to connect to the device.
What to do if the card is not recognized by Windows?
Check that the card is properly inserted into a PCI Express slot. Try another slot if possible. Make sure the BIOS is up to date. In Windows, run 'Scan for hardware changes' in Device Manager. If the problem persists, test the card on another computer to rule out a hardware defect.
Is the card compatible with Mac OS?
The manual only mentions Windows. However, many users report it working under Mac OS X with generic drivers. Belkin does not provide official support for Mac.
What is the warranty period?
Belkin offers a limited lifetime warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. To avail the warranty, keep the proof of purchase and contact an authorized Belkin retailer. The warranty does not cover accidental damage or unauthorized modifications.
