870-135VX
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I just bought the 870-135vx  CTO and use if for video editing with Premiere Pro  CC.  I need to ingest some older DV video and would like to install a 1394 Firewire 800 card. 

 

What free slots are available on this computer for a card like that?  I think I see a small slot very close and just above the Nvidia 1070 card but I'm not sure what kind of slot it is - PCI Express X1? 

 

Can I install a 1394 card in this computer and if so what type should I get? 

 

Thank you.

Hi,

 

It only has 1 slot

 

Expansion Slots:
  • 1 PCI Express x16 (Gen3.0)
  • 1 PCI Express x1 (Gen3.0)

and the case:

 

this should have anough room for you to add a PCIe-Firewire card such as

Please check the back of the machine, you may need a low profile bracket.
