HP Pavilion Elite m9040n Desktop and Fire Wire 1394

I have the above mentioned Desktop. It has a 1394 plugin on the front of case. Does the Pavilion come with all the software to make fire wire work? I backed up my hard drive onto an Toshiba external disk with a USB cable the other day and it took 6 hours. Isn't fire wire suppost to transfer data faster than a USB cable? Is there any special things I need to know when buying fire wire 1394.
I was looking on the internet the other day and they showed fire wire with 4 and 6 pins. Looking into the hole on my computer it only looks like 3 pins?
Thanks

Rick, welcome to the forum.
There is no software necessary for Firewire (IEEE 1394a).  The driver is installed with the OS.
Here is the Motherboard Specifictions page for the computer.  It only shows that there is a Firewire (IEEE 1394a) port (# 11) in the Back I/O ports.
Here is an article that shows the comparison of speed of Firewire vs USB.  Firewire was developed by Apple.
I hope this information answers your questions.

  • I have a HP Pavilion Elite i7 Desktop w Windows 7 and I desire to add a 3 TB Hard Drive. Can I?

    I have a 2 year old HP Pavilion Elite i7 Desktop w Windows 7 and I desire to add a 3 TB Hard Drive.  Can I add a 3TB Hard Drive (probably the Segate Barracuda XT 3TB HD) as a secondary drive without changes.  If not, what should I do?

    Hi,
    Make sure that the power supply unit is powerful enough. It's a desktop so adding a 2 or even 3TB hdd shouldn't be a problem..

  • How big of a hard drive can I install in my HP Pavilion Elite e9220y Desktop PC

    I have a  HP Pavilion Elite e9220y Desktop PC I have gotten an error on my hard drive BIOHD-8 imminate failure, I am going to replace my drive and would like to know if I can replace it with a 2 TB?

    Hi,
    Should be ok to use 2TB HDD and lower. Anything bigger/larger (capacity) than 2.2TB you may get problem and have to do more work to be able to get it right.

  • HP Pavilion Elite e9280t Desktop PC power on/start windows issue

    HP Pavilion Elite e9280t Desktop PC, Windows 7 Pro.  When powered on (using the power switch), the blue power light and amber hard drive lights on the front illuminate, but monitor shows no signal and the keyboard lights do not come on.  F10 on the keyboard doesn't bring anything up on the screen either.  Sounds like there is hard drive activity, but the amber light does not flash.  If I put a bootable dvd in the drive, it appears to read the dvd, but does not boot from it (nothing appears on the monitor.)  Monitor, keyboard and mouse have been verified operational.  Hard drive data appears to be intact and have verified 12v and 5v operational from power supply.  Haven't found a place to verify 3v power.  Depressing the power switch does not turn the computer off, only way is to unplug the power cord.  This sympton happened a couple of weeks ago, but after several power cycles, it booted fine and worked for a while.  Not this time, though.

    HI JIMINFL: 
    How was your weekend, I  hope  it was super!
    I understand that when you boot up, you get a blank screen. You also said that you know the keyboard, mouse and monitor are working.  I am sending you a link to a document on "Monitor or TV is Blank after Starting the Computer" click here. I am also sending "HP Hardware Diagnostics UEFI" click here to test for hardware failures. Please let me know the outcome.

  • HP Pavilion Elite e9280t Desktop - Memory Card Reader Stopped Working

    Hello,
             I have a HP Pavilion Elite e9280t CTO Desktop PC ...  The memory card reader recently stopped working.  I believe, maybe the firmware, and/or driver was deleted by one of my optimization softwares. I checked the "Device Manager" list and was unable to locate "any" memory card device.  All the USB plugs work fine. When I place an SD card in the memory card reader slot, the light comes on, but the computer does not recognize the card. The card does not show up in my "Computer"  window with the other drives.  I checked the card out on my other computer, and it worked fine.   I also have an HP laptop that I tested my SD cards on, and the cards worked fine on my laptop. 
            I would appreciate any help, or suggestions, that any one might give.
                                                                                                                                                                         Thank You

  • Pavilion elite m9040n mobo issue This is for hp expert day

    I have a elite m9040n, upgraded to Win7.Model # GN554AAR#ABA
    Power supply died. I thought about canablizing it for parts, but then got new power suppy.
    I had removed video card and hard drives. Can not find photo I had taken of orginial setup.
    Now there is a cable from the front panel; I can't figure out where to attach it. It come from the front as two seperate white cables; they attach to a white component, which has 10 holes for pins. There are also ten notches, one next to each hole.
    I can not find any place on mobo to re-attach this. I have also looked at other locations near mobo. I can't see where this belongs.
    I have treid to trace cables to front. it looks like the are for S-video and  compnnent.
    Any ideas will help.
    Thanks for your efforts.

    Try some of this documentation:
    Go to your m9040n Product Home page.
    Click on Troubleshooting | How To on the top menu.
    Then click o Adding / Replacing hardware.
    All those links should help you, along with videos.

  • How can I use Pro Tools with Fire Wire interface and Fire Wire external HD

    If Mac Book Pro has only one Fire Wire jack and I want to use Pro Tools with an M Audio 1814 Firewire interface and an external Fire Wire HD how do I get around the fact that the Mac Book Pro has only one fire wire jack?
    Pro Tools says that they DO NOT recommend using USB 2 Hard Drives as recording drives.
    If I plug my External HD into the back of the 1814 it is way too slow to use, plus, I don't know why, Pro Tools is telling me that my External HD is "not a valid audio volume". It is a MAC OS Extended (Journaled) external Firewire HD (G-TECH G-DRIVE)
    Stuck...

    You could consider getting a firewire hub or get an expresscard 34 adapter with a firewire port.
    I personally use a Belkin Expresscard adapter that gives me an extra firewire port as well as two extra USB 2.0 ports.
    Good luck.

  • The new Mac Book Pro and Fire Wire

    Hi,
    can I use the new MacBook'sPro Fire 800 plug with a 400 connection? Are there any adapters? Otherwise what to do with all my Fire Wire 400 applications?
    Cheers
    Hartmut

    Hi nvelotta,
    FW800 uses the 9-pin Firewire connector.
    FW400 uses both 6-pin (powered) and 4-pin (non-powered) connectors.
    Most video cameras that use Firewire use the 4-pin connectors because they do not require power over the cable, and also because it is smaller. What you most likely need is this:
    http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?cid=102&cp_id=10301&cs_id=1030104&pid=3541&seq=1&format=2
    It's a 9-pin to 4-pin cable. However, you said that the 4-pin connector does not fit into your camera. Does the 6-pin fit into the camera? If neither of these fit, the port on your camera is not a Firewire port. USB plugs are strictly rectangular. It could be one of those.
    Let me know what conclusion you reach and I can help you find an appropriate cable!

  • Ipod nano and fire wire connection

    Is a fire wire connection compatible with the second generation ipod nano. It came from the factory with a USB 2.0 cable. I have a 20 gig ipod that was supplied with a firewire connection. Are these two interchangeable with either unit? Awaiting a reply, thanks.

    FireWire cables cannot be used to sync an iPod nano or Fifth Generation iPod.

  • NVidia Graphics Card and HP Pavilion Elite m9040n

    I am looking to replace the Graphics card from the NVidia GeForce 8400 GS to something as current as possible.  Was looking at the NVidia GTX 480 but I don't think it is compatible with the model.
    Can anyone confirm and/or make a suggestion?

    How to replace a power supply.
    How to replace a video card.
    So look at the GTS 260.  It's an excellent card.  Look for a modular 600 watt power supply. 
    The ATI Radeon 5830 is also an excellent card. However, I have seen where some older PCs work not work with the newer ATI cards.
    These high powered video cards will generate some heat so be prepared to deal with that issue.
    What is hotter, a 100 watt light bulb or a 300 watt light bulb?

  • Pavilion Slimline DVD drives and eject wire...

    I tried to replace the DVD drive on my Pavilion Slimline with an HP dvd1270i DVD drive. Had no problems installing it until I tried to plug the eject wire to a plug on the new DVD drive. Problem is, there's no plug on this drive to attach the eject wire to. The DVD drive that originally came with the Slimline does have this plug. Can someone recommend a DVD drive for the Slimline that does have a plug for the eject wire? Or is there a way to transfer the plug from the old drive to the new drive? Thanks in advance... 

    I have similar problem on my micro PC case from HP
    CD rom tray has not mechanical device for ejecting media but electrical switch instead.
    There is no chance to reach eject button on DVD ROM, because it's hidden under doors on the case.
    And that {Content Removed: Language Filter Evasion}non standard HP connector for opening CD used on case is not compatible with any DVD ROM I can find in my local store including HP products.
    And nobody knows anything about that.

  • HP Pavilion Elite M9040N - Putting in a better Graphics Card

    Hi,I've been searching for a even better Graphics Card than what I have in my computer right now.It seems that when I play the new updated Train Simulator 2015,my graphics can't keep up with the games graphics which they reccommend the Graphics Card 512MB with Pixel Shader 3.0 (AGP PCIe only) Iam trying to figure out which Card would be in the best to get and also be in mid price range or for a good deal.If anybody knows of a Graphics Card that I could upgrade from the current Nvidia Zotac GT 520 card that I have in my CPU already.I'd be greatful for anyone's opinion on this,Thank's!  :-)

    I have some sad news for you. The m9040n is below the minimums required for gameplay of Trainz 2015.
    Your system has a 2.4Ghz processor, min is 2.8Ghz, recommended is an I-5 at 3.4Ghz.
    The Zotac GT520 1GB 64bit card is too weak, but no sense upgrading the card. You do not the CPU power.

  • Will my HP Pavilion Elite e9110t Desktop PC work in GERMANY?

    We're moving to Munich in a few months. Will my desktop work in Germany (i.e., is there a power cord I can buy that will go from the CPU to an outlet). I'd prefer not to have to use an adapter long term. Thanks!

    You will need a converter to change the power from DC to AC.  Check with electronics shops for your best choice.

    It has been a long time since we lived in Germany, but I don't believe there is any way to avoid the adaptor.  You have to change the power from the DC used in Germany to the AC your computer requires.  It's a pain, but better than nothing.

  • Can i hook a external hard drive to the tc usb port and fire wire from the computer for faster movie transfer ?

    Will i be able to hook a WD 3tb external hard drive via the TC USB port for network storage as well as a direct firewire to the same WD 3TB external hard drive for faster transfer of home movie for storage?

    In general, no.  I do know of any drives that support simultaneous use of the USB and Firewire ports.  (Or eSATA, if equiped.)  I have several USB/FW drives from Seagate, Western Digital, Iomega and others that I used my own hard drive and none allow this.
