How to Figure Out What Kind of Power Supply My XBox Has

Determining what kind of power supply your Xbox model has is important to your preparation for game play. You will not be able to operate the Xbox console if its power supply is incompatible with your available power sources. Fortunately, you can readily determine this information before setting up your gaming area.

Things You'll Need

• Xbox
• Xbox original packaging, if available
• Xbox user manual, if available

Instructions

1. Check the original packaging of your Xbox for an illustration for information on included products. Your Xbox comes with some accessories and necessary connection cables, including a power source. A description of the power supply, including its type and specifications, will be displayed.

2. Check your Xbox instruction manual if you no longer have the original packaging. Your power supply has its own section where its type and functionality are thoroughly explained.

3. Check the Xbox power supply itself. Look at the underside of the power supply. There will be a product description that explains the type and functionality of the power supply.

4. Consult the Xbox website to find out more in-depth information about the Xbox power supply if necessary. Visit the "Xbox Power Supply Description" link in the Resources section for more particulars.
