    Cubic Feet per Minute (airflow). A condition that allows the line voltage input to the power supply to drop to below the minimum operating voltage. A power supply, after detecting a fault condition, shuts itself off. Even if the fault condition disappears the supply does not restart unless manual or electronic intervention occurs.

    The high power edge card form factor is intended for use at 250W and 350W power levels. Refer to Figure 1 for details. The supply will provide its output power via a card edge on the interior face of the power supply to provide users and manufacturers easy installation and removal of the power supply into the system.

  • Page 19: Capacitive Loading

    The maximum allowed ripple/noise output of the power supply is defined in Table 14 below. This is measured over a bandwidth of 0 Hz to 20 MHz at the power supply output connectors. A 10 F tantalum capacitor in parallel with a 0.1 F ceramic capacitor are placed at the point of measurement.
  • Page 20: Timing Requirements

    STATUS Required These are the timing requirements for the power supply operation. The output voltages must rise from 10% to within regulation limits (T ) within 5 to 70 ms. The +3.3 V, +5 V and +12 V output voltages should start to vout_rise rise at about the same time.

    Required The power supply shall have current limit to prevent the +3.3 V, +5 V, and +12 V outputs from exceeding the values shown in Table 17. If the current limits are exceeded, the power supply shall shutdown and latch off. The latch will be cleared by toggling the PSON damaged from repeated power cycling in this condition.

PSON on the +3.3 V, +5 V, +12 V, and –12 V power rails.
  • Page 26: Pwok (Power Ok)

    Required PWOK is a power OK signal and will be pulled HIGH by the power supply to indicate that all the outputs are within the regulation limits of the power supply. When any output voltage falls below regulation limits or when AC power has been removed for a time sufficiently long so that power supply operation is no longer guaranteed, PWOK will be de-asserted to a LOW state.
  • Page 27: Acwarning

    Optional This is an output signal from the power supply which provides a warning to the system that the power supply has lost its AC input. This signal also provides a signal to synchronize the turn on of multiple power supplies. At turn on, this signal is pulled LOW when the supply’s internal bulk voltage has reached a level that allows it to turn on.
  • Page 28: Field Replacement Unit (Fru) Signals

    Optional Two pins will be allocated for the FRU information on the power supply connector. One pin is the Serial Clock (SCL). The second pin is used for Serial Data (SDA). Both pins are bi-directional and are used to form a serial bus.

    The power supply, when installed in the system, shall meet immunity requirements specified in EN55024. Specific tests are to be EN61000-4-2 ,-3, -4, -5, -6, -8, and -11. The power supply must maintain normal performance within specified limits. This testing must be completed by the system EMI engineer.
