A Tour of Your Computer: Dell Inspiron 4100
AC Adapter Connector 
This connector attaches an AC adapter to the computer.
 
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.

vents. Doing so can damage the computer or cause a fire.
