NOTE: A partially charged battery is already installed in the computer, but Dell recom-

mends that you attach the AC adapter now so that the battery can complete its charge

To connect your computer to the AC adapter, perform the following steps:

1. Plug the AC adapter’s attached cable into the AC adapter connector on the

computer (see Figure 1-2).
