Using the i.LINK
®
port
The i.LINK
®
port on the left side of the computer provides an
extremely fast data transfer rate (up to 400 mega bits per
second [Mbps]).
In addition to high speed, the i.LINK
®
port also supports
isochronous data—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).
