Tim,

Usually the Power Distribution Unit (PDU) in the large 690 case is 220 volt,
but the VME card cage itself, along with the other subsystems, I believe,
are 110v. So, given long enough cords and probably separate circuits, you
could run everything on 110.

Can anyone confirm if the 670 chassis runs on 110? I know the 630 chassis
does.

Steve

Don't know if they all are, but my 690 MP requires 220V, which means you
can't just plug it in any old place.  Of course, what is really more
important, a computer or a clothes dryer? :-)  Because My wife doesn't
agree I still haven't turned mine on. 
 Does anyone know if Linux supports SMP on Sparcs, and if so what
processor is minnimum?
