It's a ZU650W model from Zumax at www.zumaxpower.com I've been to the site but couldn't find a photo that shows which selector refers to which voltage. I was playing with it after a power outage. Here is the photo of what I think is 110v, It shows 110 but the switch with the crack is slide over the place where 220v was; 220v just slide inside. So that's where my confusion comes from.

You would have it correct in the photo, it is set for 110v when 110v is shown.

That said, that power supply doesn't use Active PFC (which nearly any good modern PSU should) from the very presence of that switch, so I highly question if it's any good. Don't load it too heavily.

Yeah, I haven't seen that switch in a long time... pretty old tech.

This is a 2007 PSU.....and it wasn't good then. 54a on the 5v rail and 38a on the 12v rail tells me it's ATX 2.0 spec. Replace it immediately.

it appears not to work anymore after a power outtage, I'll replace it with a 430w.

I hope that's all that doesn't work now.
