Whats the red switch for in the back on the power supply

[smirk24]

In the back of my dell dimension 8400 right by the power cable thats located on the power supply theres a red switch that looks like you have to get a flat head in order to switch it. Whats the switch for?

Voltage Selector switch.

Hi Smirk24,

According to the manual of your Computer, that is the voltage selection switch which inputs the voltage to yourpower supply

You would probably find this switch on different computers.

Smirk, you don't want to play with that red switch

because if you switch it to the wrong voltage you damage computer

We'll it should be larry lol im more familiar with computers now then i was back then and i believe i tampered with it back then and i was wondering if i have the voltage right but if i still have a working computer then its probably where it should be lol

If you're in the states Smirk24 you should have it set to 110v / 115v.
