Congratulations and thank you for purchasing the USB 2.0
and FireWire ExpressCard from Belkin. This ExpressCard
offers notebook users a fast and convenient way to add
a USB and FireWire port that can take advantage of the
increased bandwidth and features the new ExpressCard I/O
interconnection standard delivers.
Why ExpressCard?
ExpressCard, the standard destined to replace CardBus,
quadruples your computing bandwidth. This results in
faster music downloads, smoother streaming video, and
lightning-fast access to mass-storage devices.
The ExpressCard provides the perfect solution for
simultaneously streaming movies and downloading video
from your camcorder to your hard drive—without risking
that your computer will freeze, crash, or slow to a trickle.
ExpressCard future-proofs your computer with technology
so advanced that it exceeds the processing speed of many
devices currently on the market. This means that installing
the ExpressCard now assures you of device-upgrade
expansion room for many years to come.
Please carefully review this User Manual so that you can
take full advantage of all the capabilities the Belkin USB 2.0
and FireWire ExpressCard offers.

Troubleshooting
The ExpressCard and devices connected to the
computer do not work properly.
Please do the following:
1. Check that all the cables you are using are the correct
types, and that they are all securely connected.
2. Make sure all devices are powered on and connected to
the proper power supply and source.
3. Reconnect daisy-chained devices you may have
disconnected for installation. If reconnecting does not
clear up the problem, restart your computer.
4. Make sure you have properly installed the ExpressCard.
The computer did not detect the ExpressCard.
1. Make sure that the ExpressCard is correctly plugged
into the ExpressCard 34-/54mm slot; if not, plug in it
securely.
2. If the ExpressCard is plugged in correctly, see if its gold
connectors are clean; if not, clean the connector surface.
3. Follow the procedure on page 5 titled “Verifying Proper
Installation”. If the ExpressCard designation “Texas
Instruments OHCI Compliant IEEE 1394 Host Controller”
does not appear in the Device Manager, update your
computer BIOS to the latest version (contact your
computer manufacturer for details). If after updating
your BIOS, your computer still does not detect the
ExpressCard, contact your computer manufacturer
for advanced support for BIOS.
