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 (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).

Inserting and removing PC Cards

Your computer comes with one PC Card slot and supports

Inserting a PC Card

do so may result in damage to components, such as cables,
attached to your computer, or to the computer itself.

Before you insert a PC Card, refer to the documentation that

you insert it.
