A Tour of Your Computer: Dell Inspiron 4100
AC Adapter Connector
This connector attaches an AC adapter to the computer.
The AC adapter converts AC power to the DC power required by the computer. You can connect the AC
adapter with your computer turned either on or off.
CAUTION: The AC adapter works with electrical outlets worldwide. However, power
connectors and power strips vary among countries. Using an incompatible cable or
improperly connecting the cable to the power strip or electrical outlet may cause fire
or equipment damage.
NOTICE: When you disconnect the AC adapter from the computer, grasp the adapter cable
connector, not the cable itself, and pull firmly but gently to avoid damaging the cable.

NOTICE: To avoid damaging the computer, wait 5 seconds after turning off the computer

vents. Doing so can damage the computer or cause a fire.
