8-2 Using External Devices
External Monitor
You can add a standard external monitor to your NEC Versa TXi system using a
display signal cable (usually provided with the monitor). One end of the cable must
have a 15-pin connector for the system.
The external monitor port supports 640x480, 800x600, and 1024x768 display settings.
However, for optimal viewing, set the screen resolution to 1024x768 when the video
output device is an LCD panel or an external monitor (CRT).
To change display settings, access Start, Settings, Control Panel, Display, and select the
Settings tab.
Follow these steps to connect an external monitor to your NEC Versa.

Check that power to both the NEC Versa and the monitor is off.
2.
Open the monitor port cover at the far left on the back of the system.
3.
Attach the 15-pin cable connector to the monitor port on the system. Secure the
