Connection option #1
- Connect to the same FireWire 800 source (built
in FireWire 800 ports, or a PCI/PCIe FireWire 800 card) using two cables -
direct connection for each bridge card.
Connection option #2
- Connect to the same FireWire 800 source (built
in FireWire 800 ports, or a PCI/PCIe FireWire 800 card) via daisy-chaining
the two bridges together, then connect one bridge to the computer.
Connection option #3
- Connect to separate FireWire 800 interfaces
(such as a built in FireWire 800 port, AND a PCI/PCIe FireWire 800 card).
Use the 2 included cables to connect one cable to each of these inter-
faces, doubling the bandwidth.
Of the 3 types of FireWire 800 connection listed above, Connection
option #3 is the fastest.
