6 Verify that the voltage selection switch is set correctly for your location.
Your computer is equipped with one of the following:
• A fixed-voltage power supply — Computers with a fixed-voltage power supply
do not have a voltage selection switch on the back panel and operate at only
one voltage (see the regulatory label on the outside of the computer for its
operating voltage).
• An auto-sensing voltage circuit — Computers with an auto-sensing voltage circuit
do not have a voltage selection switch on the back panel and automatically detect
the correct operating voltage.
• A manual voltage selection switch — Computers with a voltage selection switch
on the back panel must be manually set to operate at the correct operating
voltage.
NOTICE: To help avoid damaging a computer with a manual voltage selection switch, set the
switch for the voltage that most closely matches the AC power available in your location. For
Japan, the voltage selection switch must be set to the 115-V position even though the AC power
available in Japan is 100 V. Also, ensure that your monitor and attached devices are electrically
rated to operate with the AC power available in your location.
