Notes on connecting i.LINK devices
Your computer is equipped with an i.LINK port, which you can use to connect to an i.LINK device such as a digital video
camcorder or to connect two VAIO computers in order to copy, delete or edit files.
Your computer is equipped with a 4-pin port on the front and two 6-pin i.LINK ports on the back. A 4-pin i.LINK port cannot
supply power to a connected i.LINK device. A 6-pin i.LINK port can supply power (10V to 12V) to a connected i.LINK
device, if the device is equipped with a 6-pin connector. The total power supplied by the 6-pin i.LINK port does not exceed
6 watts. To use the 4-pin port on the front, you need to flip the front panel down, using your fingertip, to access the port.
The i.LINK port supports transfer rates up to 400 Mbps; however, the actual transfer rate depends on the transfer rate of
the external device.
The optional i.LINK cables may not be available, depending on the country or area of your residency.
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. See the manual that came with your software for more information.
Check the working conditions and OS compatibility of i.LINK-compatible PC peripherals (for example, an HDD or a CD-
RW drive) before you connect them to your computer.
