Using Peripheral Devices - NEC VERSA P8510 Series User Manual

Using Peripheral Devices

USB Devices
USB ports allow you to connect USB-equipped peripheral devices such as a digital camera,
scanner, printer, CD-ROM drive, modem, mouse, keyboard, telephone, or game device to your
notebook.
USB devices called USB hubs can serve as connection ports for other USB peripherals. Only
one device needs to be plugged into your notebook. Additional peripherals can be connected in
a daisy chain configuration where one device is connected to another in a series.
Note
Some USB devices draw their power from the notebook power system, thereby
reducing battery life. Always connect your notebook to an AC power source before
connecting these devices.
Connect an external USB device to your notebook as follows.
1. Locate any of the USB ports on your notebook.
2. Follow any specific set-up instructions in the device's user's guide.
Note
USB devices can be hot-swapped or plugged, meaning that you do not need to turn off
your notebook before plugging or removing USB devices.
3. Plug the USB device into one of the USB ports.
Note
Refer to the device's documentation for any additional instructions, if supplied.
