Connecting FireWire Devices Your iMac has two FireWire 400 (H) ports. FireWire lets you easily connect and disconnect external high-speed devices-such as digital video cameras, printers, scanners, and hard disks. You can connect and disconnect FireWire devices without restarting your iMac. HH FireWire ports These are some of the things you can do with FireWire: Â Connect a digital video camera and capture, transfer, and edit high-quality video directly on your iMac using video-editing software such as iMovie (included with your iMac), Final Cut Express, or Final Cut Pro. Â Connect an external FireWire hard disk and use it to back up, store, or transfer files. A FireWire hard disk icon appears on your desktop after you connect the drive to your iMac. Â Start up from an external FireWire hard disk. Connect an external FireWire disk (with a valid operating system installed on it), open the Startup Disk pane of System Preferences, and click the FireWire disk icon (H). Restart your iMac.
