Re: IBM rack ups issues

[DrFranken <midrange@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Unlikely the 720 is damaged as it auto-switches from 100 to 200v ranges. 
That's one of the benefits of 'international power supplies' - they can 
deal with about anything from round about 90 V up to 250 V or so with no 
harm no foul.

This is however one down site to the rack mounted PDUs that have nothing 
but the C13 outlets.  They are valid for both 110V and 220V but just 
lookin at 'em it's hard to say what's coming out!  A DMM is your friend!!!
