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:

1Plug 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.

2If this is not done, plug the four-pin end (2) of the i.LINK™ drive’s original cable into the i.LINK™ drive.
