Connecting Computers by i.LINK® Interface

When connecting more than two computers by i.LINK interface, do not allow any of the connected
computers to enter Suspend, Hibernation, or Standby mode during a file transfer, as this could
result in a loss of data. If one of the connected computers does enter a power saving mode,
resume power, then disconnect and reconnect the i.LINK cable. Note that if you connect a
notebook computer docking station using an i.LINK cable, you cannot use Smart Connect when the
computer is not in the docking station.
