OPTIONAL DEVICES i.LINK (IEEE1394) i.LINK (IEEE1394) i.LINK (IEEE1394) is used for high-speed data transfer for a range of compatible devices such as ❑ Digital video cameras ❑ Hard disk drives ❑ MO drives ❑ CD-RWdrives NOTE: i.LINK uses a four-pin connector, which does not carry electric current. External devices will need their own power supply. Precautions ❑ Make a back-up of your data before transferring it to the computer. There is a possibility that the original data will be damaged. There is a particular risk that some frames will be deleted in the case of digital video transfer. TOSHIBA assumes no liability for such loss of data. ❑ Do not transfer data in areas where static electricity is easily generated or in areas subjected to electronic noise. Data can be destroyed. ❑ If you are transferring data through an IEEE1394 hub, do not connect or disconnect other devices from the hub during data transfer. There is a likelihood that data will be damaged. Connect all devices to the hub before you turn on the computer's power. ❑ You may not use any copyrighted video or music data copied from a video camera except for your personal enjoyment. ❑ If you connect/disconnect an iLINK device to/from another iLINK device that is currently exchanging data with the computer, data frames might be dropped. ❑ Make sure data transfer has ended or turn off the computer, before you: • Connect/disconnect an iLINK device to/from the computer. • Connect/disconnect an iLINK device to/from another iLINK device that is connected to the computer. 8-19
