Connecting an i.LINK™ device
Your computer includes an i.LINK™ (IEEE1394) connector, which you can use to connect to an i.LINK™ device
such as the supplied DVD-ROM drive (see Using the i.LINK™ CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive (page 40)), a digital
video camera recorder, or another VAIO notebook in order to copy, delete or edit files.
The i.LINK™ connector of your notebook does not supply power to external devices generally powered by
i.LINK™ connectors.
The i.LINK™ connector supports 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.
i.LINK™ cables compatible with your VAIO notebook include cables with the following part numbers: VMC-
IL4415A (a 1.5 meter cable with a 4-pin connector at each end), VMC-IL4408Series (a 0.8 meter cable with a
4-pin connector at each end).

❑ Connecting two VAIO notebooks (page 82)
✍ An i. LINK™ connection with other compatible devices is not fully guaranteed.
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, DVD-ROM drive etc.) before you connect them to
your notebook.
