RE: Want to move to all 208V for server racks
We have run into some reasonably recent flat panel LCD's not running on 208v; we began having our colo build the new cages we order with 208v a few years ago and then found we couldn't use one of our crash carts in the newer cages until we replaced the monitor. If you're doing colo, some customers may have rack mounted LCD panels that could be an issue. And this was not a power brick monitor, straight plug. David

I really want to move all newly installed internal and customer racks over to all 208v power instead of 120v. As far as I can remember, I can't remember any server/switch/router or any other equipment that didn't run on 208v AC. (Other than you may need a different cable) Anyone have any experience where some oddball equipment that couldn't do 208v and regret going 208v? We won't have any TDM or SONET equipment, all Ethernet switches, routers and servers. I have control over internal equipment but sometimes customers surprises you.
To clarify, I was going to have 120v in the cage for temporary stuff like laptops, crash cart, etc. On Thu, Dec 2, 2010 at 11:29 AM, David Hubbard <dhubbard@dino.hostasaurus.com> wrote:
