8 Power cord set requirements

The wide-range input feature of the computer permits it to operate from any line voltage from 100 to

120 V ac, or from 220 to 240 V ac.

The 3-conductor power cord set included with the computer meets the requirements for use in the country or region where the equipment is purchased.

Power cord sets for use in other countries or regions must meet the requirements of the country and region where the computer is used.

Requirements for all countries

The following requirements are applicable to all countries and regions:

●

The length of the power cord set must be at least 1.5 m (5.0 ft) and no more than 2.0 m (6.5 ft).

●

All power cord sets must be approved by an acceptable accredited agency responsible for evaluation in the country or region where the power cord set will be used.

●

The power cord sets must have a minimum current capacity of 10 A and a nominal voltage rating of 125 or 250 V ac, as required by the power system of each country or region.

●

The appliance coupler must meet the mechanical configuration of an EN 60 320/IEC 320

Standard Sheet C13 connector for mating with the appliance inlet on the back of the computer.
