You can run on 208 volt single phase with no issues. The power
supply(s) will deal with it. Most data centers run 208 as opposed to
220/110 anyway so your good to go.

Almost ANY IBM power supply is now auto sensing for voltage even the
bricks for the ThinkPads.....

The boss just asked me a question that I think I found the answer for

would rather have someone confirm/deny my suspicions. We have a Power 6
rack-mounted 8203-E4A 520 with 2 LPARs and the question was can we run
this on 208v or does it need to be 220v. According to the redbook
http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redpapers/pdfs/redp4403.pdf it appears that
208v would work but considering I'm electrically (and hardware)

illiterate

I thought I'd ask those who are. I would ask my BP but we've had some
"questionable" answers from them before...
