Importing Home Server from US

[Archer_11]

Hi Guys,

Thinking of importing a HP Media home Server from the US (a model that is not sold here yet, the ex495).

The only thing that has me worried is the voltage - is it safe to just buy a standard plug convertor (the $10 kind) or do I risk frying the unit when I turn it on?

Thank in advance to any cluey guy or girl that can help me out. I'm googling around but cannot find a definitive answer.

"POWER • Internal universal power supply"

It should also be noted that the power supply is an auto-switching type offering 100-240 VAC, 5.0A, 50-60Hz and so should be compatible in many regions.

You should just need the plug converter.
