The accessories for the NEC Versa LX and Versa SX notebooks are compatible
across both product lines and will work with the next generation of Versa offerings.
The only exceptions to this rule — because the Versa SX requires a thin form
factor — are the primary lithium ion batteries.
Cross compatibility lowers the total cost of ownership because:
• Accessories can be shared among many individuals no matter which
notebook they’re using.
• There’s no more confusion as to whether this option will work with that
notebook.
• The MIS department has just one family of accessories to maintain.
• When the next generation of NEC Versa notebooks arrives, the existing
accessories can still be used.
All the accessories available for the NEC Versa LX and Versa SX are listed on page 9.
Here’s a rundown on some of the major ones. VersaBay III Paks are described on
page 4.

The Versa PortBar offers one quick connection to peripheral resources. Users keep
a monitor, keyboard, printer, etc. attached to it, and when they’re in the office, they
have only one hookup to make to the NEC Versa LX or Versa SX. Designed to
look like part of the notebook when connected, the Versa PortBar has an easy,
mechanically supported locking mechanism and supports warm docking.
