i.LINK (IEEE1394a)
i.LINK (IEEE1394a) is used for high-speed data transfer for a range of
compatible devices such as:
■ Digital video cameras
■ Hard disk drives
■ MO drives
■ 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.
■ 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 IEEE1394a 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.
i.LINK uses a four-pin connector, which does not carry electric current.
External devices will need their own power supply.
