Exploring Your Computer's Features Using the i.LINK® port 141 Inserting a module into the Ultra SlimBay To install a module into the Ultra SlimBay, simply slide the module all the way into the Ultra SlimBay until the latch locks into place. Using the i.LINK® port The i.LINK® port (available on certain models) on the side 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). Using an expansion device The expansion port is used to connect your computer to an expansion device. This is an excellent investment if you are using your computer both in and out of the office. 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. With an expansion device, you can leave external devices connected while you are using your computer away from your desk. When you return, you can quickly connect your computer and have immediate access to all the devices. For more information, see the accessories information package that comes with the device or visit accessories.toshiba.com. Using an Optional Toshiba Express Port Replicator with your computer If you purchase an optional Toshiba Express Port Replicator (not shipped with your system), you can connect this device to your computer's expansion port. In order to achieve a proper connection, the Toshiba Express Port Replicator must be properly aligned with your computer. To properly connect the Toshiba Express Port Replicator to your computer, see the Toshiba Express Port Replicator User's Guide or visit pcsupport.toshiba.com.
