  • Page 151: External Mouse

    Why won't a serial mouse work when connected to the PS/2 port with the appropriate adapter? The NEC Versa SXi computer is designed to find a mouse connected to the PS/2 port only. The system does not recognize a serial mouse with an adapter.
  • Page 152: Pc Cards

    PC Cards In which slots do my PC cards go? Your PC cards can go into either slot if they are NEC-approved cards. Other software may not support the use of both slots. Type III cards only fit in the bottom slot (slot 0).
  • Page 153 Can I run two of the same type cards simultaneously? Yes, Windows 98 or Windows 2000 configures each card. If they are both modems, configure each for a different Com port and different available interrupts under the ports icon in the Windows Control Panel or from Device Manager in Windows 98 or Windows 2000.
  • Page 154: Diskette Drive

    Diskette Drive Why can't I boot from the diskette drive? To boot from the diskette drive, be sure that you have a diskette in the diskette drive containing operating system files. Be sure to check the Boot Device Setup parameters in the BIOS Setup Utility to determine the designated sequence of boot devices.
  • Page 155: Booting

    What type of diskette do I use in my diskette drive? Some systems ship with a 1.44-megabyte (MB) diskette drive that uses 3.5-inch high density (HD) diskettes. These diskettes are also called double-sided, high-density (DSHD) diskettes. You can store 1.44 MB of information on these diskettes.
  • Page 156: Power Management

    Power Management Does my system come with power management features enabled? Your system’s default settings are configured with power management features enabled when on DC (battery) power and disabled when on AC power. In Windows NT, use the BIOS Setup utility to modify the default settings, if desired. If you do not use the keyboard, mouse, or drives for the preset length of inactive time, your screen goes blank and your system goes into a power saving mode of operation.
  • Page 157 What is the purpose of Suspend to RAM? (Standby in Windows 98/2000) You can initiate full Suspend-to-RAM in Windows 98/2000 by accessing Start, Shut Down, Standby. This places the system in a deeper state of “sleep” and requires that you press the Power button to resume operation. Putting your system into Standby initiates the Standby power-saving mode and is a convenient way of conserving energy when you are going to be away from your system for a short period of time.
  • Page 158 What is the function of Suspend-to-File? (Hibernation in Windows 98/2000) Suspend-to-File (Hibernation) provides the greatest power savings by putting the system into a maximum power shutdown. When the system goes into STF mode, it saves data and system status and then shuts off power to all components. STF mode lets you save power without first saving your work.
  • Page 159: Miscellaneous

    What is a time-out? A time-out is the amount of time your system or a particular component is inactive. Can I disable my system's power management features? Yes. In the Windows NT environment, simply press the Power Management switch, Fn+F7 on the system keyboard until you hear a single beep.
