Did it do anything bad? I'm assuming going from 120v setting to 240v setting? All the voltages would be halved so the system would probably just lock up. Did it actually kill it?
Once a coworker did the opposite. Went to plug a PC into a server rack PDU, did not realize that PDU was 240v, but the switch was set to 120. It killed the system. POOF! Just like that. :biggrin:
I flipped the switch to 240v once to see what would happen, figuring it wouldn't blow up or anything. Oddly enough, it ran normally Opened it up and the wires weren't connected so if someone tried plugging it in to 240v and flipping the switch it still would have blown up
