Your computer is equipped with either an auto-sensing voltage selector or a manual voltage selection switch. Computers with an auto-sensing voltage selector do not have a voltage selection switch on the back panel and can automatically detect the correct operating voltage. To help avoid damaging a computer with a manual voltage selection switch, set the switch for the voltage that most closely matches the AC power available in your location. 3 back panel connectors 4 card slots NOTICE: The voltage selection switch must be set to the 115-V position even though the AC power available in Japan is 100 V.
