i.LINK® (IEEE1394) Ports

The 6-pin i.LINK port on the back of the system can supply power from
the computer to a device if the device also has a 6-pin i.LINK port. The
6-pin port supplies 10 V to 12 V and a maximum power of 6 watts.

The 4-pin i.LINK port at the bottom of the front panel does not supply
power.

i.LINK is a trademark of Sony used only to designate that a product contains an IEEE1394 
connection.  The i.LINK connection may vary, depending on the software applications, 
operating system and compatible i.LINK devices.  All products with an i.LINK connection may 
not communicate with each other.

Refer to the documentation that came with your compatible i.LINK device for information on 
operating conditions and proper connections.  Before connecting compatible i.LINK PC 
peripherals to your system, such as an optical disc or hard disk drive, confirm their operating 
system compatibility and required operating conditions.
