No firewire 800 or 400 functions in Leopard for SIIG FireWire 800 + Hi-Speed USB Combo PCI Adapter

If you're asking if a Dell OptiPlex 7010 USFF will support Firewire the answer is No...Unless you purchase and install a Firewire card

The OptiPlex 7010 USFF has the following external connections:

• Front Panel: one microphone connector and one headphone connector
• Back Panel: one line-out connector and one line-in/microphone connector
• Network Adapter: one RJ45 connector
• Serial: one 9-pin connector; 16550 C compatible
• USB 3.0: Back Panel - 2
• USB 3.0: Back Panel - 2
• Video: 15-pin VGA connector
• 20-pin DisplayPort connectors - 2

I don't recommend any USB to Firewire convertors but if you can find a Firewire Convertor PCI Express Card you can try installing it but remember the USFF has only one Mini PCI Express 52-pin connector, I've highlighted a possible product. It allows for Firewire 800 speeds. The included optional internal Molex power connection is only required if your Firewire device doesn't have its own power adapter

Hi,

. If you have an empty PCI bus slot on the PC motherboard, you an install a PCI card which provides you 2 or 4 USB2.0 ports which are available at around $10. There are some combo cards which provide both USB and Firewire (1394 ports).

If you did a fresh install of Windows 7, make sure you install Windows 7 SP1.

A lot of Windows 7 drivers were not included in the original release.

The manufacturer does not list a specific driver for this card( although it does list it as being Windows 7 compatable) so likely you will find it by updating Windows 7.

Hi,

To my knowledge there is no simple adapter that would interface Firewire to USB. Though both are high-speed bus, there is significant difference between the technologies involved that they can't be joined/integrated nor is it possible to connect a USB device to a Firewire port either directly or vice-versa. Most if not all on the market are a dual/combination Firewire/USB hub but not an adapter.

Alternately:
1. If your computer is a desktop, there are PCI cards that plugs in to one of your PCI slots whose inputs are Firewire based. Here is an example; or
2. If your computer is a laptop, there are PCMCIA cards with Firewire ports. Here is an example .

Pls be reminded that there are 4-pin & 6-pin FireWire DV Cable.

Hope this be of some help/idea. Pls post back how things turned out or should you be in need of additional information.

Good luck and kind regards.

i think u must upgrade the USB driver on ur pc go to this link and download the driver and save it in desktop and double click on it and install it
