Figure 1-11 Connecting an External Keyboard and PS/2 Mouse

VGA Port

The 15-pin female VGA connector allows you to connect an external VGA monitor that

supports up to 1024x768 pixels resolution. When displaying on an external VGA monitor

alone, the VGA port supports resolutions up to 1024x768 at 256 colors.

The NEC Versa 2500 Series provides a VGA VESA driver diskette for installing different

display resolution drivers for Windows Setup. You can also toggle the display between the

LCD and the external monitor by pressing the Fn key + F10 key combination.

NOTE: Even when set to 800x600 or

1024x768 resolution, the external monitor only

shows 800x600 resolution if the computer is

running at Simultaneous display. Toggle the dis-

play to the external monitor only in order to dis-

play higher resolution.

Refer also to Appendix A for a list of supported

video modes.
