Connecting an i.LINK Device
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.
❑ The i.LINK port on your computer does not supply power to external devices generally powered by i.LINK ports.
❑ 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 in some countries or areas.
❑ 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 operating system compatibility of i.LINK-compatible PC peripherals (for example, an
HDD or a CD-RW drive) before you connect them to your computer.
❑ You cannot use i.LINK devices if you disable the i.LINK port in the BIOS setup screen. To enable the port, follow the steps
and the tip in Disabling Built-in Devices
(page
138).
