According to this, iMac (Early 2009) - Technical Specifications, you have FireWire 800. You can buy adapters and cables that go from FW800 (9-pin) to FW400 (6-pin).
FW800 connectors are square-ish while the 400 connectors are rectangular with one pointed end.
What kind of connector is required for the fire wire on iMac early 2009 ?
