power detecting device

[spacekowboy]

Hi, I need to move some devices over to a 230V UPS unit. And I'm trying to determine that the power supplies of the devices will be ok with the added voltage. Here are some examples of the info printed on the power supplies of the devices I have:

Server1

100-240Vac
50-60Hz

Server 2

100-127V ~/6A
200-240V~/3A
50-6-Hz

Server3

120V MP914AA 250V, 10A SB
240V MP914AD/AE 250, 5A SB


Any input on this would be appreciated

Welcome to the forums. 🙂

The specs you posted suggest that Server 1 is a universal input device that accepts the full worldwide range of AC sources without any adjustment. The specs for Servers 2 and 3 suggest they have a switch to operate at either the lower range (100-127V ~/6A) or the higher range (200-240V~/3A).

If this switch exists, it will be near the AC power input. Be sure it is set correctly. Not doing so when moving to the higher range could destroy the power supply.

For an exact answer, check the manufacturers' website for full information about your PSU models.

You'll also need new power cords. The AC input on all of the machines is probably a standard IEC input jack like this:

The other end should match the socket on your UPS, or you may find an adapter that allows you to plug the original 120 volt plug into the 230 volt socket.

Thanks for the info! I will check into that.
