Connecting two VAIO notebooks
You can copy, edit or delete files on another VAIO computer to your computer with an optional i.LINK™
cable. If the second computer has the Windows
®
XP operating system, you just need the i.LINK™ cable. If
the second computer has a different operating system (e.g., Windows
®
2000), you need a software
application such as Smart Connect.
You can also print a document on a printer connected to another VAIO computer.
Connecting an i.LINK™ CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive
You can connect the bundled i.LINK™ CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive to your computer. Next to your computer’s
S400 i.LINK™ connector is a VAIO peripheral original connector.
The i.LINK™ drive’s original cable has a two-pin plug that has to be connected into both the S400 i.LINK™
connector and the VAIO peripheral original connector.
To connect the i.LINK™ CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive to your notebook, proceed as follows:
1
Plug the two-pin end (1)
of the i.LINK™ drive’s
original cable into the
notebook’s S400 i.LINK™
connector and the VAIO
peripheral original
connector.
2
If this is not done, plug
the four-pin end (2) of the
i.LINK™ drive’s original
cable into the i.LINK™
drive.
