IEEE 1394 PORT (4-PIN TYPE)
The IEEE 1394 port (also known as “Firewire” or
“iLink”) allows you to connect devices that are
compliant with IEEE standard 1394. This port is effec-
tively a very fast communications port. Some digital
devices (e.g., digital cameras) use IEEE 1394 ports for
fast transfer of digital files and data.
In order to connect an IEEE 1394 device, follow these
steps:
(See Figure 2-7 on page 9 for location)
1. Align the connector with the port opening.
2. Push the connector into the port until it is seated.
