138 Exploring Your Computer’s Features
Using the i.LINK ® port
3 Grasp the card and pull it straight out.
(Sample Illustration) Removing memory media
Do not remove memory media while data is being written or read.
Even when the Windows
® message “copying...” disappears, writing
to the media might still be in progress and your data could be
destroyed. Wait for the indicator light to go out.
Using the i.LINK ® port
The i.LINK ® port 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 time-
consuming.
