EPS1U Power Supply Design Guide, V2.1

Purpose
This specification defines non-redundant power supplies that support 1U rack mount entry server systems. The
entry-level power supply is not intended to be a hot swap type of power supply. The parameters of this supply are
defined in this specification for open industry use. This specification defines power supplies ranging from 125 W
to 500 W, with six outputs: 3.3 V, 5 V, 12 V, -12 V, and 5 VSB. The form factor fits into a 1U system and
provides a wire harness or docking solution for output connections. An IEC connector is provided on the external
face for AC input to the power supply. The power supply contains fans for cooling, while meeting acoustic
requirements.
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
• 5V standby
NOTE
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 bulk power system may be an n+1 redundant power system or a non-redundant power system.

The status given to items within this design guide, which are not required to
meet SSI guidelines, however, some system applications may optionally
use these features.
A full-ranging power supply automatically senses and adjusts itself to the
proper input voltage range (110 VAC or 220 VAC). No manual switches or
manual adjustments are needed.
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. Manual intervention commonly includes
briefly removing and then reconnecting the supply, or it could be done
through a switch. Electronic intervention could be done by electronic
signals in the Server System.
A waveform changes from one level to another in a steady fashion, without
intermediate retracement or oscillation.
Mean time between failure
The periodic or random signals over frequency band of 0 Hz to 20 MHz.
A condition in which a supply attempts to provide more output current than
the amount for which it is rated. This commonly occurs if there is a "short
circuit" condition in the load attached to the supply.
Power Factor Corrected.
A typical logic level output signal provided by the supply that signals the
Server System that all DC output voltages are within their specified range.
The periodic or random signals over a frequency band of 0 Hz to 20 MHz.
Rise time is defined as the time it takes any output voltage to rise from
10% to 95% of its nominal voltage.
The condition where the AC line voltage drops below the nominal voltage
conditions.
The condition where the AC line voltage rises above nominal voltage.
An output voltage that is present whenever AC power is applied to the AC
inputs of the supply.

STATUS
Required
There are three physical sizes of the power supply enclosure intended to accommodate different power levels
from 125W up to 550W. Two output connector designs are defined, also. A card edge solution provides ease of
installation and removal, while the wire harness design provides a traditional cabled solution. The enclosure of
the entry 1U power supply is designed for use in 1U rack mounted systems.
4.1 Card Edge Form Factor
The card edge form factor is intended to allow users and manufacturers easy installation and removal of the
power supply into the system. Refer to Figure 1 for details. There are three different lengths for use with different
power levels. The recommended length for each power level is shown below.

single AC circuit. AC line inrush current shall not exceed 30 A peak for one-quarter of the AC cycle, after which,
the input current should be no more than the specified maximum input current from Table 3.

STATUS
Required
The ground of the pins of the power supply wire harness provides the power return path. The wire harness
ground pins shall be connected to safety ground (power supply enclosure).
6.3 Remote Sense
STATUS
Optional
The power supply may have remote sense return (ReturnS) to regulate out ground drops for all output voltages;
+3.3 V, +5 V, +12 V1, +12 V2, -12 V, and 5 VSB. The power supply may use remote sense (3.3VS) to regulate
out drops in the system for the +3.3 V output. The +5 V, +12 V1, +12 V2, –12 V, and 5 VSB outputs only use
remote sense referenced to the ReturnS signal. The remote sense input impedance to the power supply must be
greater than 200 Ω 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.
6.4 Output Power/Currents
STATUS
Recommendations
The following tables define power and current ratings for 125 W to 500 W power supplies. These output levels
were selected to cover different types of systems and configurations. The combined output power of all outputs
shall not exceed the rated output power. The tables show the load ranges for each of the power supply power
levels. The power supply must meet both static and dynamic voltage regulation requirements for the minimum

HIGH for 1 second shall be able to reset the power supply.
7.1 Current Limit

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 22. If the current limits are exceeded, the power supply shall shutdown and latch off. The
latch will be cleared by toggling the PSON

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 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 divided into two rails for
the 250W, 350W, and 400W power levels. +12V1 is dedicated for providing power to the input of the processor
voltage regulator(s). +12V2 is used to power the rest of the baseboard’s +12V power needs and system
peripheral devices. The +12V rail is divided into three rails for the 450W and 500W power levels. The +12V1 and
+12V2 rails are dedicated for providing power to the inputs of the processor voltage regulators. The +12V3 rail is
used to power the rest of the baseboard’s +12V power needs and system peripheral devices.

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 24 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.

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
must have built in hysteresis such that the power supply will not oscillate on and off due to temperature recovering
condition. The OTP trip level shall have a minimum of 4 °C of ambient temperature hysteresis.

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 and Vbias) turn off. This signal is pulled to a standby voltage by a pull-up resistor
internal to the power supply. Refer to Figure 6 for the timing diagram.
