Wrong power cord?

[stev1212]

Hey guys, i recently bought a shuttle PC SZ77R5 but it came with an American power cord. Am i ok to just use a US 3 pin to UK 3 pin adapter? There wont be any power issues i hope?

Replies appreciated!

Yeah, or just get a normal UK kettle lead.

The Shuttle does take 240V? if theres a switch on teh back to flip between 110/240 then make sure its in the right position

If it's expecting 240v (English) and you give it 110v (us) it just wont start.
Flip that around and it will go boom, so like stulid said take a look for the switch / read the psu specs.

Should be able to buy a UK kettle lead fairly cheap at most electronics stores.
