i.LINK (IEEE1394)
Some models are equipped with a i.LINK.
i.LINK (IEEE1394) is used for high-speed data transfer for a range of compatible devices such as
1. Digital video cameras
2. Hard disk drives
3. MO drives
4. CD-RW drives i.LINK uses a four-pin connector, which does not carry electric current.
External devices will need their own power supply.

Precautions
1. 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.
2. Do not transfer data in areas where static electricity is easily generated or in areas subjected to electronic noise. Data can be destroyed.
3. 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.
4. You may not use any copyrighted video or music data copied from a video camera except for your personal enjoyment.
5. If you connect/disconnect an i.LINK device to/from another i.LINK device that is currently exchanging data with the computer, data frames might be dropped.
6. Make sure data transfer has ended or turn off the computer, before you: a. Connect/disconnect an i.LINK device to/from the computer.
b. Connect/disconnect an i.LINK device to/from another i.LINK device that is connected to the computer.
Connecting
1. Make sure the connectors are properly aligned and plug the i.LINK
(IEEE1394) cable into the computer.
2. Plug the other end of the cable into the device.
Note the following when you use i.LINK: a. You may need to install drivers for your i.LINK devices.
b. Not all i.LINK devices have been tested. Therefore, compatibility with all i.LINK devices cannot be guaranteed.
c. Use S100, S200 or S400 cables no longer than three meters.
d. Some devices might not support sleep or automatic off functions.
e. Do not connect or disconnect an i.LINK device while it is using an application or when the computer is automatically shutting it down to save power. Data might be destroyed.
f. When multiple IEEE1394 devices are connected to a PC, the devices may not correctly be identified. This problem may occur when Windows Vista™ is restarted while the devices are connected or when the power to the IEEE1394 devices is turned on before the
PC is turned on. If it occurs, disconnect the IEEE1394 cables and then reconnect them.
