Most power > supplies support both 120 and 220. The power supplies themselves are autoranging and exhibit no switches of any kind. In fact, when I plugged them in, they indicated they were ready. From the behavior I observed and from reading the public documentation, my impression is that the server's power management checks the power supplies' status before allowing the machine to turn on, and a jumper has to be set to tell it to expect a 100-130V input reading rather than a 200-240V reading. > >> Anyway, I don't have space for it if I'm not using it, so if you can >> pick it up from my apartment in Eden Prairie, it's yours.
