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 a digital video camera recorder or to connect two VAIO notebooks in order to copy, delete or edit
files.
The i.LINK connector of your computer 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 computer 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 101)
✍ 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, CD-RW drive etc.) before you connect them to your
computer.
