Power sources
The product should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the product's electrical
ratings label. If you have questions about the type of power source to use, contact your service partner
or local power company. For a product that operates from battery power or other power sources, the
operating instructions are included with the product.
Accessibility
Be sure that the power outlet you plug the power cord into is easily accessible and located as close to
the equipment operator as possible. When you need to disconnect power to the equipment, be sure to
unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet.
Voltage select switch
Ensure that the voltage select switch, if provided on the product, is in the correct position for the type of
voltage in your country (115 VAC or 230 VAC).
Internal battery
Your computer may contain an internal battery-powered real-time clock circuit. Do not attempt to
recharge the battery, disassemble it, immerse it in water, or dispose of it in fire. Replacement should be
done by a service partner using the HP replacement part for 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
If you have questions about the type of power cord to use, contact your service partner.
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 service partner 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.
