Troubleshooting
Ensuring Sufficient Power for Your Computer
For optimum system performance, always use a 130-W AC adapter.
Using less-powerful AC adapters may cause you to receive a
WARNING
message. The use of a less-powerful
AC adapter may also cause your computer to experience a degradation in performance.
Docking Power Considerations
Due to the extra power consumption when a computer is docked to a docking device, normal computer
operation is not possible on battery power alone. Ensure that the AC adapter is connected to your
computer when the computer is docked to a docking device.
Docking While the Computer Is Running
If a computer is connected to the Dell D/Dock or Dell D/Port while the computer is running, presence of
the docking device is ignored until the AC adapter is connected to the computer.
AC Power Loss While the Computer Is Docked
If a computer loses AC power while docked to the Dell D/Dock or Dell D/Port, the computer
immediately goes into low-performance mode.
