Yeah, but that thing isn't going to have a L6-20 plug, like mine does. I believe that guy is doing the 'two hots' thing I was describing, and it probably has a 5 wire connector from the plug to the PDU. My pdu has a 3 wire connector. It's a whole lot like this one: http://www.servertech.com/products/switched-pdus/switched-cdu-cw-16h (min is a bit older, though.) - but the point is it's got a 3 wire (hot hot ground, I think) connection to the plug. -- Luke S.
