PLUG AND PLAY
The NEC Versa features a Plug and Play functionality. Plug and Play is the ability of the
BIOS and/or operating system to dynamically assign system resources to a newly installed
device without user intervention.
For example, you can suspend the system, add an external keyboard, mouse, or monitor,
and when you resume working, the NEC Versa recognizes the devices that have been con-
nected to it. Similarly, you can remove external devices in Suspend mode and the NEC
Versa detects the status when resumed.
NOTE
The system must be turned off when
installing the CD-ROM reader, diskette drive or
hard disk drive in the VersaBay II. Installing
these devices in Suspend mode may cause
damage to the system.
