If he is talking about the type connector I think he is, it is notched to
prevent plugging a normal cord in. This is due to it pulling more amps than
most computer cords are rated at. I'm not sure if this is the same thing
you're talking about, but I think you're talking about something different.
IIRC, I've seen a couple Compaq or HP servers that use these as well.

The mains connector into the H7874 PSU is a
normal IEC connector with
one exception.
Directly below the middle pin is a rib or ridge that would require a
groove or slot in the
mating free connector.
Yep, it's a right-angle kettle lead; if you've got one that'll work nicely.
From what I can see amongst my VAXen it was only
the QBUS machines that
warranted that sort of power cable; the whole thing was
interlocked so that
if there was a power cable in there you couldn't do anything other than
disconnect. Even when you wanted to remove the PSU you had to make sure
there was nothing in the way of the interlocks.....
