5-2 Connecting Peripheral Devices
EXTERNAL MONITOR
To connect an external CRT monitor, you need a monitor
signal cable. A signal cable is usually provided with the
monitor. One end of the cable must have a 15-pin connector
for the docking station.
You can use an external monitor with or without the CRT
base. If you choose not to use the CRT base provided with
the docking station, place the external monitor on the table
or desk next to the docking station.
CAUTION
Always use the CRT base if you are going to put an
external CRT monitor on the docking station. Never
place an external monitor or any other heavy object
directly on the docking station or NEC Versa without
the CRT base. Doing so can damage the unit.
The CRT base weight limit is 56.2 lb (25.5 kg)
equivalent to an NEC MultiSync 5FG monitor. Do
not exceed the weight limit. Doing so can damage
the unit.
Use the following steps to connect an external monitor to
the docking station. If you choose not to use the CRT base,
skip steps 2 and 3.
1.
Check the following before connecting the CRT.
n
Docking station power is off.
n
The cover is in place and secured.
n
If the NEC Versa is docked, turn off power to the
computer. (If you have a Plug and Play system, you
can put your system into Suspend mode instead of
turning off system power.)
