Note: The FireWire 800 ports on your Xserve system transfer data from 800 Mbps devices
much faster than was possible before. These ports have 9-pin connectors, and are
compatible with original FireWire devices with 6-pin or 4-pin connectors.

With an appropriate cable, the new 9-pin ports work seamlessly with all FireWire devices.
Cables are available for connecting a 9-pin port to 4-pin, 6-pin, and 9-pin devices.
