A Tour of Your Computer: Dell Inspiron 8200
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.
PS/2 Connector
HINT: You can use the integrated keyboard and an external keyboard at the same time. When
you attach a PS/2 keyboard or PS/2 numeric keypad, the integrated keypad is disabled.
Connects PS/2-compatible devices, such as a
mouse, keyboard, or external numeric
keypad.
Shut down the computer before attaching or
removing a PS/2-compatible device. If the
device does not work, install the device
drivers from the floppy disk or CD that came
with the device, and restart the computer.
