Shut off the notebook, casting it over, and the adjustment is labeled with a little bulk that looks like an AA adjustment with a lightning bolt. Lift the adjustment out, and the after bulk is amidst on a white sticker with a bar code. It reads something like JP-07Y356-XXXX-XXX-0639 (that's allocation of the after bulk for the Dell adjustment haversack on my work-issued Latitude D600).
