Using the i.LINK® port The i.LINK® port on the front of the computer provides an extremely fast data transfer rate. In addition to high speed, the i.LINK® port also supports isochronous data transfer (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).

When you return to your desk, you can then connect to your network, print reports from your computer, or use a mouse instead of your computer's pointing device. Connecting cables for each of these devices every time you return to the office can be timeconsuming.
