Voltage switch Before turning on your computer, make sure that this switch is in the correct
position for the correct power available. The switch is preset at the factory
with the correct voltage for your area.
In the United States, the utility power is supplied at a nominal 115 volts
at 60 Hz. The power supply should always be set to this when your
computer is operating in the United States. In other areas of the world,
such as Europe, the utility power is supplied at 230 volts at 50 Hz. If your
computer is operating in an environment such as this, the voltage switch
should be moved to 230.
