  WARNING: Before you begin any of 
the procedures in this section, read the 
safety information that shipped with 
your computer. For additional best 
practices information, see

  WARNING: 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.

AC adapter cable, ensure that you 
follow the angle of the connector on the 
AC adapter to avoid damaging the cable.
  NOTE: Some devices may not be 
included if you did not order them.
