Next, the 100/240V label means that the server can handle any kind of electricity from 100V to 240V, so it will work with the voltage in any country. (US/Japan is 100-120V, most others are 220V). But your question wasn't about foreign use, so now that we've taken care of the 100/240V label let's move on.
