i.LINK (IEEE1394)
i.LINK (IEEE1394) is used for high-speed data transfer for a range of
compatible devices such as:
■
Digital video cameras
■
Hard disk drives
■
MO drives
■
Optical media 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 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.
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.
i.LINK uses a four-pin connector, which does not carry electric current.
External devices will need their own power supply.
