Connecting a Power Source

Connecting a Power Source

You can use either an AC adapter or a rechargeable battery pack for supplying power to your computer.

Using the AC Adapter

While your computer is directly connected to an AC power source and has a battery pack installed, it uses power from the
AC outlet.

✍

Use only the supplied AC adapter for your computer.

To use the AC adapter

Plug one end of the power cord (1) into the AC adapter (3).

Plug the other end of the power cord into an AC outlet (2).

Plug the cable from the AC adapter (3) into the DC IN port (4) on the computer.

The shape of the DC In plug varies depending on the AC adapter.
