USB Device

Your NEC Versa L320 system is equipped with two USB ports that increase your connectivity choices. The USB ports on the back of your system each allow you to connect up to 127 USB equipped peripheral devices to your NEC Versa notebook computer. These peripherals may include a digital camera, scanner, printer, CD-ROM drive, modem, mouse, keyboard, telephone, or game device.

USB devices called USB hubs can serve as connection ports for other USB peripherals. Only one device needs to be plugged into your NEC Versa. Additional peripherals can be connected in a daisy chain configuration where one device is connected to another in a series. Up to 127 devices can be connected together in this way.

Connect an external USB device to your system as follows.

1.Locate the two USB ports on the back of your system.

2.Plug the USB device into one of the two USB ports. Another USB device can be plugged into the other port.
