Installation 

 

Step 1.  

Hardware Installation 

The DFW-500 is a PCI compliant IEEE 1394 Adapter. To install, turn off and  unplug your 

computer. Touch an unpainted screw on the outside of the case to ground yourself and 

avoid static discharge that could render the card inoperable. Remove the case, and insert 

the adapter into one of your computer’s PCI slots. 

 

Step 2.  

Installing Drivers on Windows 98 

Note: Installation in Windows Me and 2000 is similar. The screenshots will not match 

exactly, so let Windows search for the drivers automatically and choose the driver that 

Windows suggests. Doing so will ensure that the proper driver is installed. 

 

After you have installed the DFW-500 into one of your available PCI slots, power the 

computer on and boot into Windows. Windows will automatically detect the DFW-500 and 

prompt you for drivers. The following steps illustrate how to install the DFW-500.
