Peace Of Mind - NEC VERSA LX Product Manual

Q u e s t i o n s
How does cross compatibility benefit users?
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.
Is there a full-blown desktop docking solution for the NEC Versa LX and Versa SX?
The Versa Dock is the answer. Like the NEC Versa LX and Versa SX, it includes
PCI architecture, for faster data throughput and provides:
• Two easy-access PCI slots (one full length, one half length)
• Two external half-height bays to hold industry-standard add-ons or VersaBay III
Paks (optional VersaBay III Adapter required)
• Motor-assisted docking with manual override for ease of use
• Keylock protection from "undocking" to help prevent notebook theft
• Hot docking of NEC Versa LX and Versa SX Windows 95/Windows 98 models
• Full port replication (printer, serial, monitor, mouse and keyboard) plus a
MIDI/game port and combination USB and PS/2 port.
• Three audio ports—line in/out, headphone and microphone
• When coupled with the 10/100 Versa Dock PCI Card, support for wake on
LAN remote boot and remote control capabilities
• Integrated monitor stand that supports up to 55 pounds
Are there other desktop expansion solutions for the NEC Versa LX and Versa SX?
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.
The External Diskette Kit for the Versa SX allows users to access the 1.44MB
diskette drive while another device is in the VersaBay III slot. The NEC Versa LX
comes with a 1.44MB diskette drive or SuperDisk LS-120 drive pre-installed inter-
nally (i.e., not in the VersaBay III slot) and, therefore, does not require this device.
One of the ports on the NEC Versa LX and Versa SX is for connecting a mouse
or keyboard. An optional Y-Adapter allows both devices to be connected at once.
Can the Versa Dock and Versa PortBar be used with other NEC Versa notebooks?
No, they're compatible with the NEC Versa LX and Versa SX only.
