Lab 7-8 USB and IEEE 1394

You are going to install a PCI card and then uninstall it, so make sure you have enough time. I want the card back before the period is over.

Installing a USB/Firewire Card

1. Check out from me:
1. A toolkit
2. A USB/Firewire card
3. Driver disk for card
2. Install the card into your lab computer.
3. Boot into Windows XP.

Test the Installation

4. Check out a USB drive from me.
5. Put the drive into the card. Does the drive read?

6. Is this a USB 1.1 or USB 2.0 drive?

7. How do you know?

8. Restart into Windows 98.
9. Does the drive read in Windows 9x?

10. Why or why not?

11. Install the drivers that come with the card
1. One set in Windows XP
2. One set in Windows 9x
12. Restart your computer if necessary.
13. If someone in class has a Firewire device, check it out in the Firewire port on the card.
14. Remove the card and drivers from your machine and turn back into me.

Identify USB 2.0 Support

1. Go into your device manager and locate the USB hub.
2. In Windows XP, how do you know that the 2.0 hub is installed by looking in device manager?
3. In Windows 98, how do you know that the 2.0 hub is installed by looking in device manager?
