Power Management Setup.
It is recommended to enable power-saving functions when operating this
computer, as Power Management functions do not impact system
performance while saving power.
Power Safety
There are specific power requirements for this computer:
Only use an approved power adapter for this computer.
There is a 3-prong grounded plug of the power adapter. The third prong
serves as Ground and is an important safety feature. If a compatible outlet
is not available, consult qualified electricians for installation.
When unplugging the power cord, please be sure to unplug from the plug
head instead of pulling from the wire.
