Connecting an i.LINK™ device
Your computer includes two i.LINK™ (IEEE1394) connectors, which you can use to connect to an i.LINK™
device such as a digital video camera recorder or to connect two VAIO computers in order to copy, delete or
edit files.
The 6-pin i.LINK™ connector on the back of your system can:
Supply power from the computer to the connected device if the device has a 6-pin connector, and
Supply 10V to 12V.
The 4-pin i.LINK™ connector on the front of the system cannot supply power to external devices.
The i.LINK™ connectors support transfer rates up to 400 Mbps; however, the actual transfer rate depends
on the transfer rate of the external device.
The i.LINK™ features available may vary depending on the software applications you use. Refer to the
documentation that came with your software for more information.
The i.LINK™ cables that are compatible with your VAIO desktop include cables with the following part
numbers: VMC-IL4415, VMC-IL4435, VMC-IL4615, VMC-IL4635, VMC-IL6615, and VMC-IL6635. Sony computer
supplies, accessories and peripherals can be purchased from your local retailer or from the Sony website:

An i.LINK™ connection with other compatible devices is not fully guaranteed.
You are strongly advised to use only Sony i.LINK™ cables, as using other brands may cause problems with the i.LINK™ devices.
The i.LINK™ connection varies depending on the software applications, operating system and i.LINK™ compatible devices you use. Refer to the
documentation that came with your software for more information.
Check the working conditions and OS compatibility of i.LINK™-compatible PC peripherals (HDD, CD-RW drive etc.) before you connect them to your
VAIO desktop.
