You could use any adapter that has the appropriate plug, along with the
appropriate output voltage and power capacity.  Using the wrong voltage
or power capacity can destroy your hardware or, worse, cause fires.

If you don't know how to verify that the replacement equipment is going
to supply the right sort of power, save yourself a world of risk and
pain, and just buy a replacement from IBM.
