CAUTION
Do not attempt to modify or use an external
100 Vac (Japan only) or 115 Vac power cord for
240 Vac input power. Modifying either cord can
cause severe equipment damage.
The voltage selection switch must match the
voltage supplied by your power outlet. In North
America, 115 volts is common. In other countries,
230 volts is common. Ensure that the voltage
selection switch is set to the right voltage. If it is
not set correctly, you can damage your server.
