C
Over-current and short circuit
C
Over-temperature
The AC input of the power supply
includes protections for:

Input current fusing
See Appendix A for specification details pertaining to the
above protections. If any of the above protections are active,
the power supply may shutdown. This means it has,
effectively, turned itself off to protect the system. The Power
On/Standby switch or the Remote Inhibit input must be cycled
to turn the mainframe back on. Refer to Powering On The
Mainframe and Using
Switching in Chapter 3.
