About the i.LINK Port

Your VAIO® computer is equipped with a 4-pin and a 6-pin i.LINK® port. A 4- pin i.LINK port cannot supply power to a connected i.LINK device. A 6-pin i.LINK port can supply power (10V to 12V) to a connected i.LINK device, if the device is equipped with a 6-pin connector.

The total power supplied by the 6-pin i.LINK port does not exceed 6 watts.
