Power Cords
If you were not provided with a power cord for your computer or
for an AC power accessory 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 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 mm²/18AWG,
and the length of the cord must be between 5 feet (1.5 m) and
6½ feet (2 m). If you have questions about the type of power cord
to use, contact your Compaq authorized service provider.
A power cord should be routed so that it is not likely to be walked
on or pinched by items placed upon it or against it. Particular
attention should be paid to the plug, electrical outlet, and the point
where the cord exits from the product.
