When you have finished using an eSATA device, you can follow the 
procedures below in order to disconnect it:

1. Wait for the indicator light of an eSATA device to go out to make sure all 

activity has stopped.

2. Click the Safely Remove Hardware and Eject Media icon on the 

Windows Taskbar.

3. Click an eSATA device that you want to remove.

4. Carefully pull an eSATA device’s eSATA/USB combo connector out 

from within the computer’s eSATA/USB combo port.

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

■

Writable optical disc drives

■

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.
