Connecting an i.LINK digital video recorder
You can connect an i.LINK digital video (DV) recorder when the computer is

saving mode (Standby or Hibernate) may cause the computer to malfunction.
To connect an i.LINK digital video recorder
1 Turn on the DV device and the computer.
2 Plug the i.LINK® cable into the i.LINK / DC In/Out port on the DV
device.
3 Plug the other end of the i.LINK cable into the i.LINK port on your
computer, port replicator, or docking station. The Found New Hardware
window appears on the lower right corner of your screen.
