documentation provided with the computer.
Power Cords
If you have not been provided with a power cord for your
computer or for any AC-powered option intended for use
with your computer, you should purchase a power cord
that is approved for use in your country.
The power cord must be properly rated for the product
and for the voltage and current marked on the product’s
electrical ratings label. The voltage and current rating of
the cord should be greater than the voltage and current
rating marked on the product. In addition, the diameter of
the wire must be a minimum of 0.75 mm
2
/18AWG and
the cord should be between 5 and 8 feet (1.5 and 2.5
meters) long. If you have questions about the type of
power cord to use, contact your HP authorized service
provider.
Protective Attachment Plug
In some countries, the product cord set may be equipped
with a wall plug having overload protection. This is a
safety feature. If the plug needs to be replaced, be sure
the HP authorized service provider uses a replacement
plug specified by the manufacturer as having the same
overload protection as the original plug.
Extension Cord
If an extension cord or power strip is used, make sure that
the cord or strip is rated for the product and that the total
ampere ratings of all products plugged into the extension
cord or power strip do not exceed 80% of the extension
cord or strip ampere rating limit.
Overloading
Do not overload an electrical outlet, power strip, or
convenience receptacle. The overall system load must not
exceed 80% of the branch circuit rating. If power strips are
used, the load should not exceed 80% of the power strip
input rating.
Cleaning
Unplug the product from the wall outlet before cleaning.
Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a
damp cloth for cleaning.
