2 – Physical installation–Updating the softwareTASCAM FE-8 76 There is no physical connection between theFW-1884 and the FE8. Instead, you should usethe special supplied mounting pad, into whichthe feet of both the FW-1844 and FE-8 fit, andwhich secures the units firmly in the correctlocation relative to each another.If you are adding more than one FE-8 unit to yourFW-1884 setup, you should use the mounting pads tolink the FE-8 units, and replace the end cheek(s) onlyon the units at the end(s) of the line.7 To connect the FE-8 and FW-1884, connectone end of the IEEE 1394 cable supplied withthe FE-8 to either FireWire port on the rearpanel of the FE-8, and the other end to theunused FireWire port on the rear panel of theFW-1884.Unlike (for example) SCSI connections, you donot need to terminate the chain, and there isno need to number devices or set IDs, etc.Either FireWire port of the FW-1884 may beused for connecting the FW-1884 to the com-puter or FE-8 units, and either port of the FE-8 may be used for connection to the FW-1884or other FE-8 units.8 Connect the FW-1884 to the host computer.9 Connect the AC power cords to all the units,and switch on the units. We suggest switchingon the units starting with the unit furthestfrom the computer, and moving in to the FW-1884.NOTEYou can use the FE-8 only in conjunction with an FW-1884 unit. It cannot be used by itself with a computer.You should either use the cable supplied with the FW-1884 or the FE-8 (preferred) or a IEEE 1394 cable ofequivalent quality when making connections. Cheapcables may not meet the interface specifications andmay cause device malfunctions.To host computerAC power supplyAC power supplyPower switches |
