One is a kill switch cuts power off to the power supply and the red switch is to choose from 115volts to 230volts. <_<

You turn it off from the power supply when you open the case and change or touch stuff inside... but since you ask what these are .. maybe you shouldn't do that too soon...

yes, only set it to 230 volts if you're a in a country where the wall puts out 230 as opposed to america's standard 120.

ya, the red label = bad things, I like the little clicky turn off button on the back becuase of the power issues when your computer is still plugged in you can still get a resigual charge and sum times hurt yourself.... thus the dont open this due to electic shock on all home appliences becuase most things have electricity regualators and capasitors that hold a risidual charge for quite a while.... and i cant spell but you get the point
