USB Devices

Your NEC Versa system is equipped with two USB ports that increase your connectivity choices. The USB ports on your system allow you to connect up to 127 USB-equipped peripheral devices per port 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 notebook. 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.

Connecting USB devices to your system may reduce battery life. Always connect your system to an AC power source before connecting USB devices.

Connect an external USB device to your system as follows.

1.Locate either of the USB port covers on your system and open the cover door(s).

2.Plug in up to 127 USB devices per port to optimize your notebook possibilities.
