CAUTION: Before working inside your computer, read the safety information that shipped with your computer. For additional safety best
practices information, see the Regulatory Compliance Homepage at www.dell.com/regulatory_compliance.

NOTICE: The procedure for removing and replacing the power supply is identical (except where noted) for the Vostro 420, Vostro 220, and Vostro 220s
computers; the illustrations provided are for example only and may not represent your particular computer precisely.
NOTICE: Note the routing of the DC power cables underneath the metal routing clips (if present) in the computer chassis as you remove them from the
system board and drives. You must reroute these cables properly when you reinstall the power supply to prevent them from being pinched or crimped.
