Notes on Connecting IEEE1394 Devices
Remember the following notes when connecting the CRW2100IX drive to the
host computer along with other IEEE1394 devices.
● For optimum performance of writing a CD, connect the CRW2100IX directly
or solely to the host computer.
● Do not connect or disconnect any IEEE1394 devices while the CRW2100IX is
in operation (especially when writing to a disc).
● If there is a slower device connected between the host computer and
CRW2100IX drive, the data transfer between CRW2100IX drive and the host
computer will go slow, which may cause failure in writing a CD.
● The IEEE1394 ports on the CRW2100IX drive have 6-pin connectors, but do
not supply power (IEEE1394 bus power).
● Do not turn off the CRW2100IX drive while its IEEE1394-connected
computer is turned on. Otherwise, it may cause malfunctions on your
computer or other IEEE1394 devices connected together, depending on the
specifications of the IEEE1394 interface card (host adapter) or writing
software you are using on the computer.
Connecting Multiple IEEE1394 Peripherals Together
Connecting in a daisy-chain
A maximum single cable length: 4.5m
A single daisy-chain can contain up to
17 devices including the host computer.
CRW2100IX
Connecting in a tree
An entire system can contain up to
63 devices including the host computer.
