quick look at the dell site tells me that the item comes stock 200-240  
volt with an option to make it 100-240 volt.  With the number of 1000 watt  
power supplies in it they probably went to a 240 volt source to keep the  
ampacity down.  I do not have the power source off hand,, However I have  
the capability to create one.  If you do plug it into a ups, be wary of a  
power down.  The ups might not be able to handle the load.

Peace
