Around the Back of the System

You'll find system ports for connecting optional devices (like a printer, the port replicator, or an
external monitor) on the back of your NEC Versa. These features are described after the figure.
AC Power Port — Use the power jack to attach the NEC Versa to a DC power source, such
!
as the AC adapter or the optional DC auto adapter.
Kensington Lock — Provides added security by installing an optional Kensington Lock.
!
PS/2 Port — Connects an external PS/2-style mouse or a PS/2-style keyboard to the system.
!
With an optional Y-cable adapter, you can connect both a mouse and a keyboard at the
same time.
Serial Port — Connects an external modem or other serial device.
!
Expansion Port — Use this port to connect the NEC Port Replicator.
!
Video Port — Attaches an external monitor to your NEC Versa. You can run the LCD
!
display and the external monitor simultaneously or run either alone.
Parallel Port — Connects a parallel printer or other parallel device. The port is an Enhanced
!
Capabilities Port (ECP). The ECP standard provides you with a greater processing speed
than the conventional parallel port. It also supports Enhanced Parallel Port (EPP), bi-
directional and uni-directional protocols.
