AS1000A, AS4100, AS2000, DS10, DS20e, RA3000... Everthing carried around 
allready. :-) However... Yes, this stuff is heavy...

Never heared about that. I had some Digital/Compaq Alphas allready with 
two power supplies, but I never had the problem that I had to connect 
'em to different phases... Even the IBM machines don't need that. :-)

Within my AS1000A, I have a switch under the top cover - in the middle.

Some docs - if you havn't 'em allredy:
