Optional Devices
i.LINK (IEEE1394)
i.LINK ( IEEE1394), is used for high-speed data transfer between a range
of compatible devices such as:
■ Digital video cameras
■ Hard disk drives
■ Magneto Optical drives
■ Writable optical disc drives
Precautions
■ 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.
■ Do not transfer data in areas where static electricity is easily
generated or in areas subjected to electronic noise. Data can be
destroyed.
■ 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.
■ You may not use any copyrighted video or music data copied from a
video camera except for your personal enjoyment.
■ 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.
■ Make sure data transfer has ended or turn off the computer, before
you:
■ Connect/disconnect an i.LINK device to/from the computer.
■ Connect/disconnect an i.LINK device to/from another i.LINK
device that is connected to the computer.
i.LINK uses a four-pin connector which does not carry any electric current -
therefore. External devices will need their own power supply in order to
operate.
