HP Z200 Workstation, how to install firewire?

Question

Hi, There is a place to install firewire on the front of an HP z200 workstation. Where would I get the part to install the firewire connection and is there a guide to do this?  Thanks

A simple google search using "HP Z200 firewire card" should give you the answers  Such google foo pointed me to HP Z200 Worksation spare parts which pointed me to HP parts surfer for Z200.Seems the firewire card, p/n 515182-001, is a PCI based card where the front panel cable that should be at the bottom of the case plugs into the rear of the card as does a power cable. It should then be a simply matter of popping the plug off the 1394 connector on the case front and restarting the system and you should be good to go. Any HP reseller should be able to help you get the card. As for an install guide, some google foo should help find such but its a plug and play situation so you shouldn't need a document to tell you the obvious. If you don't know what those loose cables are at the bottom of your case, i think the side cover has a diagram that may clarify such, otherwise try some google foo using "HP Z200 Maintenance and services guide" and read that document  cheers.
