safely and effectively:
w Use your workstation on a stable surface.
w Before making any hardware installation, make sure both the system

Important:
Always verify that your portable
power supply voltage matches
your local AC supply voltage. Most
systems are shipped with an auto-
sensing power supply that switches
automatically to your AC supply
voltage. A non-autosensing power
supply comes with a two position
switch that sets the power supply
for 115V or 230V AC input
voltage. Be sure to select the
correct AC input voltage if you
have a non-autosensing type
power supply.
