USB Devices
Your NEC Versa TXi system is equipped with three USB ports that increase your
connectivity choices. The USB ports on the right side of your system allow you to
connect up to 127 USB-equipped peripheral devices 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. 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.
Open the USB port cover on the right side of your system.
2.
Plug in up to three USB devices to optimize your notebook possibilities.
