[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1796569, member: 396914"] I am confused again. That is an IEC adapter that will allow you to plug into an IEC Socket and then use what looks like a power adapter to fit a plug that I can't quite make out from the image. I don't know why you think you MUST use such a thing. If you buy a power supply in your home country, whatever that is, it should come with plugs and adapters for your country and should then also have sockets that match your country standards, or come with adapters to fit. You should not need that. All you need is an adapter that plugs into your UPS and has a socket that matches whatever is on the end of the cable of the power lead of the 8TB drive. How about telling us where you are and maybe we can get more specific? What brand/model UPS do you have? What kind of sockets on it? [/QUOTE]
