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.
