Using the i.LINK
®
port
The i.LINK
®
port on the back of the computer provides an
extremely fast data transfer rate (up to 400 mega bits per second
[Mbps]). You can connect up to 63 external devices to the i.LINK
®
port.
In addition to high speed, the i.LINK
®
port also supports
isochronous data—the delivery of data at a guaranteed rate. This
makes it ideal for devices that transfer high levels of data in real-
time, such as video devices.
As with USB ports, the i.LINK
®
port supports both Plug-and-Play
(automatic configuration) and hot swapping (the ability to connect
and disconnect devices while the computer is on.). The main
difference between i.LINK
®
and USB technology is that i.LINK
®
supports faster data transfer rates.
