Specifications and service checks
| Catalog subcategory | USB and FireWire controllers |
|---|---|
| Exact model / part identifier | PEX1394B3 |
| Bus / host interface | PCI Express x1 |
| Verified interfaces / protocols | IEEE 1394a/b; two 9-pin FireWire 800 ports and one 6-pin FireWire 400 port per StarTech product documentation. |
| OS / driver / firmware caveat | Install the compatible OS driver where required; host OS support and application compatibility are release-specific. IEEE 1394 port shape, speed, and power differ—use the correct cable and power arrangement for each device. |
| Service note | Confirm the PEX1394B3 label, port type, and bracket. Do not confuse 4-pin unpowered camera cables with 6-pin powered 1394a or 9-pin 1394b; observe peripheral power requirements. |
Installation and archival notes
- Record the board model, revision, serial/date code, firmware, bracket, accessories, and the documentation revision used to identify the unit.
- Confirm the host slot's electrical wiring/keying, required power, supported OS/driver, and any platform or option-ROM restriction in the cited model documentation.
- Use ESD precautions. Do not infer pinout, compatibility, protocol, boot support, or revision equivalence from a similar connector or product-family name.
Confirm the PEX1394B3 label, port type, and bracket. Do not confuse 4-pin unpowered camera cables with 6-pin powered 1394a or 9-pin 1394b; observe peripheral power requirements.
