NEC VXi manual Keyboard/Mouse, Connecting an external keyboard/mouse, Using External Devices

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, refer to, "How to Use BIOS Setup," in Chapter 3. The PS/2 Mouse parameter in the Advanced CMOS Setup section of the BIOS Setup parameters allows you to enable or disable the VersaGlide touchpad.

To attach both an external keyboard and an external mouse at the same time, use the optional NEC Y-adapter. For ordering information, contact your NECC dealer.

Note If you purchased this product outside the U.S. or Canada, contact the local NECC office or their dealers for ordering information.

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.
