Does the G3-605 Power Supply need to be changed when moving from Europe to North America?

I bought a G3-605 Predator with a 500W power supply in Spain a few years back. I am moving to Canada. Can I just plug the system into a 110V socket or do I need to change the power supply?

Looking at the supply, I see it is an FSP500-50AAGA. This seems to be the same supply for North American as well as European models.

The label on the power supply says: 100-127/220-240V - which suggests it can do both, but I can't find a switch to switch between the two. If it was universal, I would expect it to say: 100-240V.

So, before plugging it into a 110V source (and potentially blowing the supply), I would like confirmation that it is safe to do so - or if there is a switch I have to flip, or a jumper I need to set.

You should just need to change the power cord as appropriate for the wall socket. The power supply senses the voltage and switches automatically between the two voltages. If they said 100-240V someone would expect it to work 180V or something...
