setting the line voltage switch
CAUTION Care must be taken to ensure that the line voltage switch is set correctly.
Failure to do this could destroy the power supply if the line voltage
switch is set to 115V and AC line voltage is 230V. If the line voltage
switch is set to 230V and the AC line voltage is 115V, your system will
fail to boot.
Before you connect your power cord to the workstation, you need to
ensure that the line voltage switch on the back of your workstation is set
to the correct line voltage for your power outlet. To set the line voltage
switch, follow these steps:
1. Place the workstation so that you are looking at the back of it.
2. Use a small thin bladed screwdriver to slide the workstation’s line
voltage switch to the left until you see 115 in the right opening of the
switch or 230 in the left opening. See Figure 1-4.
