Is the Aspire TC (TC-875-UR13) power supply compatible with 220v/50Hz?

I am thinking of buying the TC-875-UR13 from the US.  In my country, the grid is 220v/50Hz.  I looked at the pictures of the computer and couldn't find a voltage switch on the outside of the power supply.  Is it 110v/60Hz only?  Or is it auto-switching?

Thanks,

    Yes, it will work but you will have to replace the US style power cord with one appropriate to your location. The PSU is autoranging and works with both the different voltages and the different frequencies.

    Hi @Busnaida

    The system can be powered using a wide range of voltages; 100 to 120 or 220 to 240 V or 100-240 V AC. The power cord included with the system meets the requirements for use in the country/region where the system was purchased. Therefore if you bought this device in the US, it does support the grid output, and not all PSUs comes with the switches.

    Hi Tachi13,

    Thanks for your reply.  Maybe I wasn't clear in my question.  I am buying it from the US (110v/60Hz) to use overseas in a country with a 220v/50Hz grid.  Will it work?
