K 9000 PDU

[Andrew Luis Arruza]

We currently have a K370 connected to a 110V power supply.
I want to plug it into the PDU in the cabinet which is a 220V.
The information on the back of the server seems to indicate this is possible, however, I can find no where to switch the voltage. It does say it is "auto resolving."
Can I just plug it into the 220V PDU in the HP Cabinet.
Any/all help greatly appreciated and points will be promptly applied.
Thanks, Andy

Andy,
look at http://forums.itrc.hp.com/cm/QuestionAnswer/1,,0x80b3afe90f1cd71190050090279cd0f9,00.html . I do not think you can plug 110v PDU into 220v, although you can plug server in 220v. Consider buying new 220v PDU... for example, http://www.hp.com/racksolutions/prodinfo/power_access/pdu_switchaccy.html . Simpy go to www.hp.com and enter PDU in the search. There're PDUs with different type of power connectors, so maybe it's good idea to call HP and ask for correct PDU for your server's power cord

The power supply is autoranging and will work just fine with either 120 or 220 VAC. You should make certain that the PDU in the cabinet will handle the load of your K-box plus any other peripherals.

Better to take help from HP , as I understand in older models of HP ther was a card in the power supply which ahd to be reinserted with a different side to enable 220 v operation , als you would need is adiffernt type of power cable, the better way is to take help of HP

Heads up!

To covert a cabinet from 110 to 220 you need to replace the following....

1. The switch on the front of the cabinet (yes it's different).
2. The PDU itself
3. The fans at the top of the cabinet which plug into the PDU.
4. Be careful to check that any equipment that is NOT autoranging has the switch moved from 110 to 220.

All this is assuming an older model cabinet. I'll assume this since you did not mention a model number for the cabinet.

Yes, I've done this before.
