USB Devices
The NEC Versa LitePad tablet PC comes with three USB ports which
increase your connectivity choices. Each USB port allows you to
connect up to 127 USB equipped peripheral devices to your tablet PC.
These peripherals can include a diskette drive, CD-ROM drive,
CD-R/RW drive, digital camera, scanner, printer, modem, mouse,
keyboard, telephone, or game device.
You can add multiple USB devices to the tablet PC in several ways:
add three devices, one to each USB port
add multiple devices to each USB port by daisy-chaining each
device to the next device (each device must have a USB port)
add multiple devices to each port through an optional multiple USB
port hub.
To connect an external USB device to your tablet PC, plug the USB
device into one of the USB ports. See Chapter 1 to locate USB ports on
your system.
Some USB devices might require power connections and/or driver
installation. If you have an NEC USB diskette drive, CD-ROM drive,
or CD-R/RW drive, see the following sections in this chapter for
installation information. For other USB devices, see the documentation
that comes with the device.
