Exploring Your Computer’s Features
Using the i.LINK® port
5.375 x 8.375 ver 2.3
Inserting a module into the Ultra SlimBay 
To install a module into the Ultra SlimBay, simply slide the 
module all the way into the Ultra SlimBay until the latch 
locks into place.
Using the i.LINK
®
 port
The i.LINK
®
 port on the left side of the computer provides an 
extremely fast data transfer rate.
In addition to high speed, the i.LINK
®
 port also supports 
isochronous data transfer (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).
Using an expansion device
The expansion port is used to connect your computer to an 
expansion device. This is an excellent investment if you are 
using your computer both in and out of the office.
When you return to your desk, you can then connect to your 
network, print reports from your computer, or use a mouse 
instead of the Toshiba Dual Pointing Device. Connecting 
cables for each of these devices every time you return to the 
office is time-consuming and inconvenient.
With an expansion device, you can leave external devices 
connected while you are using your computer away from 
your desk. When you return, you can quickly connect your 
computer and have immediate access to all the devices.
