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. This
switch may not be present on your computer
if it came with a non-switchable power
supply.
