Installing the IEEE 1394/Firewire Interface Board<br />
If your computer is not already equipped with a built-in IEEE 1394 interface port or a suitable<br />
expansion board or card, you can install the IEEE 1394/Firewire interface board provided with<br />
your scanner. Detailed instructions may be found in the manual included with the interface<br />
board.<br />
Do I Need to Install the IEEE 1394/Firewire Interface Board?<br />
You will not need to install the IEEE 1394 (Firewire) interface board provided with your scanner if:<br />
• Your computer is equipped with a built-in IEEE 1394 (Firewire) port. Macintosh<br />
users should note that old-model (beige) G3 computers are not equipped with a<br />
built-in Firewire port.<br />
• Your computer is equipped with an IEEE 1394 (Firewire) expansion board or card<br />
approved for use with the 8000 ED.<br />
The IEEE 1394 (Firewire) interface board included with your scanner can not be used in laptop<br />
computers or in low-profile PCI slots. In these cases, you will need to install one of the interface<br />
boards or cards recommended by <strong>Nikon</strong>. For more information, see the following web site:<br />

Installing the Interface Board<br />
There are two steps to installing the interface board:<br />
1. Insert the interface board in one of your computer’s free PCI slots ( 10)<br />
2. Install the drivers for the interface board (Windows only; 11–15)<br />
In Windows XP, Windows 2000 Professional, and Windows Me, the necessary drivers<br />
will be installed automatically after you install the interface board.<br />
If you are using a computer running Windows 98 SE, you must update the IEEE 1394<br />
driver as instructed on page 17 of this manual before installing the interface board.<br />
