515182-001 - HP Dual Port PCI-Express Ieee 1394 Firewire Full Height Interface Card

Description

The HP 515182-001 is a PCI expansion card designed to add IEEE 1394a, commonly known as FireWire, connectivity to a computer system. FireWire is a serial bus interface standard developed for high-speed communication and real-time data transfer, particularly popular for connecting digital video cameras, external storage devices, and other peripherals that require significant bandwidth. This particular card features two FireWire ports, likely the standard 6-pin connectors, which provide power and data transfer capabilities. The 'Low Profile' designation indicates that the card is designed to fit into the smaller chassis of low-profile or slimline desktop computers, making it versatile for various system builds. It connects to the computer's motherboard via a PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect) slot, a common expansion bus standard in older and some current systems. As a host bus adapter, the HP 515182-001 facilitates communication between the computer's CPU and the connected FireWire devices. It is an ideal solution for users who need to connect legacy FireWire devices or require the high transfer speeds offered by the standard for tasks such as video editing or rapid data transfer from external drives. The inclusion of two ports allows for the connection of multiple FireWire devices simultaneously.
