Installing the Card in Your Scanner
Before you begin, turn off the scanner and disconnect the power cord and any cables.
1. Remove the two screws securing the shield
plate to the scanner’s optional interface
slot, and then remove the plate. Put the
screws in a safe place in case you want to
reinstall the shield plate later.
Static electricity can damage electronic components like the IEEE 1394
FireWire scanner interface card. To discharge static electricity, touch the
scanner’s metal frame before handling the card.
2. Turn the card over so that the
component side is facing down, and
insert it in the optional interface slot.
Push gently until the card is firmly
seated in the expansion slot inside the
optional interface slot.
3. Tighten the retaining screws and
reconnect the scanner’s cables.
Now you’re ready to connect the scanner to your computer. Continue with
“Connecting to an IEEE 1394 FireWire Interface” on page 21.
