Hello,
I bought a Kaypro 286i computer recently and trying to power it up, but can't figure out how to property select the voltage of the power supply. This may be a silly question but I'm new to vintage computers.
According to the manual here (page 26-1) there should be a voltage selector right above the AC power sockets but it doesn't, then I tried to remove the power supply but found there is not any voltage selector exists.
However there is a label "AC 115V/60Hz" sticked on the right socket.
The place I'm living has a 220V/50Hz for electrical voltage, so based on the label, is that I need to use the left socket for 220V? But most of the computer power plug here can get is identical to the right socket and never used the type form the left one.
Please help me on decide which socket to use since there is no voltage selector on the power supply. The Kaypro I bought looks identical to this one on eBay, there are several photos under listing description shows the power supply and the power sockets.
Thanks so much!
