Mine was 2 PSUs in a RAIDweb(.com) 1Tb array.
They were not autosensing, like everything else in my racks in the
datacenter, and were set to 110V from being fiddled with in the
office.
I trot this disk array over to our datacenter, full of data, plug it
in to out E6500, power up...
*BANG*
Both PSUs died in a capacitor blowing flash.
400bux later for the pair of replacement PSUs
The best part is...
2 weeks later a colleague did *exactly* the same thing to another one.
