Sounds like 220v 2-phase. Two hots and one neutral/ground. If its
marked 20A, I believe the connector is probably an L6-20 twist-lok.
Not difficult to wire up in most US homes.
My computer room is running from two APC Matrix 5000 5kva UPSs,
which have 220v inputs and 110/220v outputs. I ran two 30A 220V
(L6-30 twist-lok) circuits from the two outer poles on my breaker
panel to power the UPSs, and everything (be it 110v like the regular
Alphas/Suns/SGIs and such or 220v for the Crays) runs from the UPSs.
Having the equipment run from dedicated 220v 2-pole breakers is
very, very nice. Definitely worth the trouble.

- Ovid Last weekend I aquired a system/36 model 5360.
Have not powered it as
yet. The plug does not fit either of my dryer sockets but is marked
250vac, 20amp. Is this a three-phase machine? If so I think I am in
trouble..... ;-)
Does the plug have three prongs or four?
