Making Your Computer Work for You Computers are everywhere. More and more people sit at computers for longer periods of time. This appendix explains how to set up your computer to fit your physical needs. This information is based on ergonomics - the science of making the workplace fit the needs of the worker.
Page 138: Arrange Your Equipment
Arrange Your Equipment Arrange your equipment so that you can work in a natural and relaxed position. Place items that you use frequently within easy reach. Adjust your workstation setup to the proper height (as described in this appendix) by lowering the table or stand that holds your computer equipment or raising the seat height of your chair.
Page 139: Adjust Your Screen Or Monitor
If you use a mouse, position it at the same height as the keyboard and next to the keyboard. Keep your wrists straight and use your entire arm when moving a mouse. Do not grasp the mouse tightly. Grasp the mouse lightly and loosely. Adjust the keyboard height so that your elbows are near your body and your forearms are parallel to the floor, with your forearms resting on either armrests or forearm supports, in the manner described previously.
Page 140: Vary Your Workday
Adjust the screen or external monitor's brightness and contrast controls to enhance readability. Use a document holder placed close to the screen or external monitor. Position whatever you are looking at most of the time (the screen or reference material) directly in front of you to minimize turning your head while you are typing.

Page 153: External Mouse
How can a mouse and an external keyboard be connected to the notebook at the same time? The NEC Versa TXi is equipped with three USB ports that allow you to connect any combination of three USB devices, at the same time. If you purchase a USB mouse and a USB keyboard, simply plug each device into any of the USB ports on your system.
Page 154: Diskette Drive
In Setup, I disabled or reconfigured peripheral devices (like the ports or sound), yet I am unable to use the freed IRQs or I/O address resources with my PC Cards? To provide a stable platform free of conflicts, NEC Computers excluded some resources from PC Card use. Diskette Drive Why can’t I boot from the external USB diskette drive?
Page 155: Booting
Enter. If you want a bootable diskette, type format a:/s and press Enter. What type of diskette do I use in my diskette drive? Your NEC Versa TXi ships with an external 1.44-MB* USB diskette drive that uses 3.5-inch high density (HD) diskettes. These diskettes are also called double-sided, high-density (DSHD) diskettes.
Page 156: Power Management
What is the difference between a warm boot and a cold boot? A warm boot restarts the system while system power is on. A warm boot is also a software reset. A warm boot clears volatile system memory and reloads the operating system.
Page 157 There are also activities that draw larger amounts of battery power. If possible, operate your system on AC power in these circumstances to conserve your battery. For example, NEC Computers recommends running the system on AC power while using external devices such as a printer or a USB drive, when connected to a network, or while playing DVD movies.
