Connecting your computer

vLook for the small connector icons on the back of your computer. Match the connectors to the icons.

vIf your computer cables and connector panel have color-coded connectors, match the color of the cable end with the color of the connector. For example, match a blue cable end with a blue connector or a red cable end with a red connector.

Note: Depending on your model type, your computer might not have all of the connectors that are described in this section.

Note: Some computers do not have a voltage-selection switch. These computers automatically control the voltage.
