FireBoard800-e™ Pro Dual 1394b OHCI PCI Express adapter technical specifications
Fireboard800-e Pro Dual™ Host Adapter provides two separate Firewire buses and the benefit of using one single PCIe slot for actually two Firewire adapters. It brings high-performance IEEE-1394b technology to PCI Express systems. Based on the LSI FW643E PCI Express® 1394b Host Controller with integrated Link and PHY, provides high performance serial connectivity. The FW643E is capable of transferring data between the PCI Express x1 bus and the 1394 bus at 100Mbits/sec, 200Mbits/sec, 400Mbits/sec and 800Mbits/sec. Fireboard800-e™ provides three IEEE 1394b Fully Compliant Cable Ports.

External power (+12V) connector
All Fireboard800-e™ Pro Dual power for the FW643E controller and any bus power provided to the 1394 connectors are derived from the standard voltages on the PCI-Express connector. However due to the limited availability of 12-V current (for 1394 bus power) an option has been provided to power 12-V rail from an external standard power connector if using bus-powered 1394b devices which require more than the 500 mA that can be drawn (by specification) from the PCI Express x1 Connector.
Operating Voltage
12V DC - CAUTION: additional power supply voltage on the Firewire bus should be equal to 12V
