[AusNOG] CNET: Google uncloaks once-secret server

[Colwell, Scott]

Further down in the article you can see that the power cord has an IEC
60320 type C14 socket on the end.
 
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEC_connector#C13_and_C14_connectors
 
So all we can guess from that is that it was deployed somewhere with
200-240v AC which
includes a very large part of Europe.

The only thing unintuitive that I can see about the design is that the
power cord goes THROUGH  the server only to reconnect at the other side,
and looks hard wired in the side of the chassis.

 

The power supply shows 200-240Vac, so are we looking at an Australian
server?

the increasingly prominent issue of data center efficiency.
