Optional Devices

i.LINK, also known as 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

■

Make a back-up of your data before transferring it to the computer in 
order to avoid the possibility that the original data will be damaged. 
With regard to this, 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 - this can result 
in data being destroyed.

■

If you are transferring data through an IEEE1394 hub, do not 
connect or disconnect other devices from the hub during the transfer 
operation - there is a likelihood that data will be damaged. In 
addition, you should connect all required 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 may 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.
