External devices such as digital audio/video devices or other high-speed devices can be connected
to the FireWire port. The FireWire port operates at a speed of up to 400 Mbit per second.

FireWire devices are hot-pluggable. Therefore, the cables of FireWire devices can be
connected and disconnected with the system switched on.
Additional information is provided in the documentation of the FireWire devices.
► Connect this data cable of the external devices to the FireWire port of the device.
► Plug the power cable of the external device into a grounded mains outlet.
Connecting an external e-SATA device to the e-SATA port
You can connect further devices (e.g. an external hard disk) to e-SATA ports.

The CELSIUS R6xx is equipped as standard with an e-SATA port. On the CELSIUS M4xx
and R5xx, an adapter cable must be used, which is available as an option.
AHCI mode must be activated in the mainboard BIOS. In the preset factory default state,
this mode is activated as standard. For additional information on this topic, please refer to
the mainboard manual.
e-SATA devices are hot-pluggable. This means that the cables of e-SATA devices can be

Devices which you connect to an e-SATA port usually require no driver of their own, as the
required software is already included in the operating system. However, if the e-SATA
device requires its own software, please install it from the data carrier provided with the e-
SATA device.
