Quick Setup

CAUTION: Before you begin any of the procedures in this section, follow the safety instructions that shipped with your computer.

CAUTION: The AC adapter works with electrical outlets worldwide. However, power connectors and power strips vary among countries. Using an incompatible cable or improperly connecting the cable to the power strip or electrical outlet may cause fire or equipment damage.

NOTICE: When you disconnect the AC adapter cable from the computer, grasp the connector, not the cable itself, and pull firmly but gently to avoid damaging the cable. When you wrap the AC adapter cable, ensure that you follow the angle of the connector on the AC adapter to avoid damaging the cable.

NOTE: Some devices may not be included if you did not order them.

1Connect the AC adapter to the AC adapter connector on the computer and to the electrical outlet.
