Purpose
This specification defines a non-redundant power supply that supports entry server computer systems.
Recommendations for 550 W, 600 W, 650 W, 700W, 750W, and 800W power supplies with 8 outputs (3.3 V, 5 V,
12V1, 12V2, 12V3, 12V4, -12 V, and 5 VSB) are provided. The form factor is based on the PS/2 power supply,
with three enclosure lengths defined to support various output power levels. Connector/cable assemblies are
required for the motherboard power, remote sensing, control functions, and peripheral power. Because of its
connector leads, the entry-level power supply is not intended to be a hot swap type of power supply. The cooling
fan should meet the acoustical requirements for the system, while providing system cooling.
The parameters of this supply are defined in this specification for open industry use.
2
Conceptual Overview
In the Entry server market, the bulk power system must source power on several output rails.
These rails are typically as follows:
• +3.3 V
• +5 V
• +12 V
• –12 V
• +5 V standby
NOTES
Local DC-DC converters shall be utilized for processor power, and will ideally convert power from the +12 V
rail, however, they may also convert power from other rails.
The +12V rail may be separated into three +12V rails to meet regulatory requirements for energy hazards
(240VA).

Optional
The power supply may have remote sense for the +3.3V (3.3VS) and return (ReturnS) if the Optional Server

output voltages; +3.3V, +5 V, +12V1, +12V2, +12V3, -12 V, and 5 VSB. The 3.3V remote sense (3.3VS) is used
to regulate out drops in the system for the +3.3 V output. The remote sense input impedance to the power supply
must be greater than 200 W on 3.3 VS and ReturnS. This is the value of the resistor connecting the remote
sense to the output voltage internal to the power supply. Remote sense must be able to regulate out a minimum
of 200 mV drop on the +3.3 V output. The remote sense return (ReturnS) must be able to regulate out a minimum
of 200 mV drop in the power ground return. The current in any remote sense line shall be less than 5 mA to
prevent voltage sensing errors. The power supply must operate within specification over the full range of voltage
drops from the power supply’s output connector to the remote sense points.

7 Protection Circuits
STATUS
Required
Protection circuits inside the power supply shall cause only the power supply’s main outputs to shutdown. If the
power supply latches off due to a protection circuit tripping, an AC cycle OFF for 15 s and a PSON# cycle HIGH
for 1 second must be able to reset the power supply.
7.1 Current Limit
STATUS
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 27. 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. -12 V and 5 VSB shall be protected under over current or
shorted conditions so that no damage can occur to the power supply. All outputs shall be protected so that no
damage occurs to the power supply under a shorted output condition.

7.2 240VA Protection
STATUS
Recommended
System designs may require user access to energized areas of the system. In these cases the power supply may
be required to meet regulatory 240VA energy limits for any power rail. Since the +12V rail combined power
exceeds 240VA it must be divided into separate channels to meet this requirement. Each separate rail needs to
be limited to less than 20A for each +12V rail. The separate +12V rails do not necessarily need to be
independently regulated outputs. They can share a common power conversion stage. The +12V rail is split into
four rails. Refer to section 6.4 for how the 12V rail is split between different output connectors.

duration of the peak current exceeding the 240VA limit should be limited to meet safety regulations. A maximum duration of 1
second is recommended.
7.3 Over Voltage Protection
STATUS
Required
The power supply over voltage protection shall be locally sensed. The power supply shall shutdown and latch off
after an over voltage condition occurs. This latch shall be cleared by toggling the PSON# signal or by an AC
power interruption. Table 29 contains the over voltage limits. The values are measured at the output of the
power supply’s connectors. The voltage shall never exceed the maximum levels when measured at the power
pins of the power supply connector during any single point of fail. The voltage shall never trip any lower than the
minimum levels when measured at the power pins of the power supply connector.

7.4 Over Temperature Protection
STATUS
Recommended
The power supply will be protected against over temperature conditions caused by loss of fan cooling or
excessive ambient temperature. In an OTP condition the PSU will shutdown. When the power supply
temperature drops to within specified limits, the power supply shall restore power automatically. The OTP circuit

Signals that can be defined as low true use the following convention:

8.1 PSON#
The PSON# signal is required to remotely turn on/off the power supply. PSON# is an active low signal that turns
on the +3.3 V, +5 V, +12 V, and -12 V power rails. When this signal is not pulled low by the system, or left open,
the outputs (except the +5 VSB) turn off. This signal is pulled to a standby voltage by a pull-up resistor internal to
the power supply. Refer to Figure 10 for timing diagram.

has been removed for a time sufficiently long so that power supply operation is no longer guaranteed, PWOK will
be deasserted to a LOW state. See Figure 10 for a representation of the timing characteristics of PWOK. The

STATUS
Recommended
The power supply must comply with all regulatory requirements for its intended geographical market. Depending
on the chosen market, regulatory requirements may vary. Although a power supply can be designed for
worldwide compliance, there may be cost factors that drive different versions of supplies for different
geographically targeted markets.
This specification requires that the power supply meet all regulatory requirements for the intended market at the
time of manufacturing. Typically this includes:
• UL
• CSA
• A Nordic CENELEC
• TUV
• VDE
• CISPR Class B
• FCC Class B
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, -11, EN61000-3-2, -3, and JEIDI MITI standard. The
power supply must maintain normal performance within specified limits. This testing must be completed by the
system EMI engineer. Conformance must be designated with the European Union CE Marking. Specific
immunity level requirements are left to customer requirements.
