Connecting the FireWire Cable
The FireWire cable (IEEE 1394A) links the computer to Leaf Aptus. The
cable carries both communication signals and electrical power. The cable
is a hot-plug cable that can be connected or disconnected without turning
the computer off or quitting the application.
1. Connect one end of the FireWire cable to the port at the bottom of
Leaf Aptus. Make sure that the FireWire cable connector is aligned to
the left of Leaf Aptus.
