‡
To help avoid damaging your computer, be sure the voltage selection switch on
the power supply is set to match the AC power available at your location:
— 115 volts (V)/60 hertz (Hz) in most of North and South America and some Far
Eastern countries such as South Korea and Taiwan
— 100 V/50 Hz in eastern Japan and 100 V/60 Hz in western Japan
— 230 V/50 Hz in most of Europe, the Middle East, and the Far East
Also be sure your monitor and attached peripherals are electrically rated to oper-
ate with the AC power available in your location.
‡
To help prevent electric shock, plug the computer and peripheral power cables
into properly grounded power sources. These cables are equipped with
three-prong plugs to help ensure proper grounding. Do not use adapter plugs or
remove the grounding prong from a cable. If you must use an extension cable,
use a three-wire cable with properly grounded plugs.
‡
To help protect your computer system from sudden, transient increases and
decreases in electrical power, use a surge suppressor, line conditioner, or uninter-
ruptible power supply (UPS).
‡
Be sure nothing rests on your computer system’s cables and that the cables are
not located where they can be stepped on or tripped over.
‡
Do not spill food or liquids on your computer. If your computer gets wet, see
Chapter 5, “Contacting Dell,” for instructions on obtaining technical assistance.
