8-2 Using External Devices
Keyboard/Mouse
You can add a full-size PS/2-style keyboard or PS/2-style mouse to your NEC Versa
using the Plug and Play feature. The PS/2-style keyboard and the PS/2-style mouse are
warm insertable, allowing you to connect the devices while the NEC Versa is powered
on. You can continue to use the system keyboard and VersaGlide touchpad while an
external keyboard or mouse is connected.
Note
For information about disabling the VersaGlide while an external mouse is
connected, see “Advanced Menu” in Chapter 3. The PS/2 Mouse parameter in the
Advanced menu lets you enable or disable the VersaGlide touchpad.
To connect an external keyboard or mouse simply put the system into a suspended
state, connect the device to the keyboard/mouse port, then resume the system when the
connection is secure. You are now ready to use your external keyboard or mouse.
