Keyboard/Mouse

You can add a full-size PS/2-style keyboard or PS/2-style mouse to your NEC Versa using the Plug and Play feature. The PS/2-style keyboard and the PS/2-style mouse are warm insertable, allowing you to connect the devices while the NEC Versa is powered on. You can continue to use the system keyboard and VersaGlide touchpad while an external keyboard or mouse is connected.

Note For information about disabling the VersaGlide while an external mouse is connected, see “Advanced Menu” in Chapter 3. The PS/2 Mouse parameter in the Advanced menu lets you enable or disable the VersaGlide touchpad.

To connect an external keyboard or mouse, simply put the system into a suspended state, connect the device to the keyboard/mouse port, then resume the system when the connection is secure. You are now ready to use your external keyboard or mouse.
