Up to 17 devicesThe maximum cable length between devices at the both ends (devices A and B) is

72m and the maximum number of devices that can be connected is 17.

Storage devices compatible with IEEE1394As for how to connect, remove and use an IEEE1394 storage device,see the instruction manual supplied with the storage device. Errone-ous operation may cause damage to a storage device or a disk, a loss ofdata, or may affect proper functioning of Windows.

• Connection to the board with a storage device powered off mayaffect proper functioning including non-recognition of the device.Be sure to connect after the storage device is powered on.

• Never remove a cable or turn off the power while a storage device isworking.

• When two or more IEEE1394 devices including a storage device areconnected to the board, please do not remove a cable from anydevice not in work or turn off the power while other devices are inwork.

• While an IEEE1394 device is in work, do not connect any otherIEEE1394 device. It may affect proper functioning.

* When an IEEE1394 device including a storage device do not function properly or when it isnot recognized, remove the cable and power on the IEEE1394 device again and then try toreconnect the cable with the IEEE1394 device powered on. Be sure to also see an instructionmanual supplied with each IEEE1394 device.
