All you do is
to hook the two live leads from the dryer plug to the
three live terminals on the 3-phase plug on the VAX. What I mean is
that you hook phase 1 live and phase 3 live to one live leg of the
dryer plug, and phase 2 to the other live leg. Then you hook neutral
to neutral, ground to ground, and plug it in. Then you're good to go.
It's been a while since I tamed my VAX 6320, but ISTR that it can be as
easy as taping off one of the three hot legs on the power cord and
feeding the other two with 220V-- it's a full-wave rectifier on the
other end. You might lose power to part of the internal accessory power
strip, though.
