Using Your NEC Versa 4-29

INSTALLING OPTIONS

The back of your NEC Versa notebook provides industry-
standard connectors so that you can integrate the following.

External monitor

Printers (parallel and serial)

External keyboard

External mouse

External audio options.

In addition, NEC offers the NEC Port Replicator 2400
which was developed to work specifically with your NEC
Versa.

See the following sections for steps on using the options.

External Monitor

You can add a standard external monitor to your NEC
Versa. You need a display signal cable (usually provided
