EPS1U Power Supply Design Guide, V1.1 
Definitions/Terms/Acronyms 
Table 1:  Definitions, Terms, and Acronyms (listed alphabetically) 
Required 
The status given to items within this design guide, which are required to 
meet SSI guidelines and a large majority of system applications. 
Recommended 
The status given to items within this design guide which are not required to 
meet SSI guidelines, however, are required by many system applications. 
Optional 
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. 
Full Ranging 
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. 
CFM 
Cubic Feet per Minute (airflow). 
Dropout 
A condition that allows the line voltage input to the power supply to drop to 
below the minimum operating voltage. 
Latch Off 
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. 
Monotonically 
A waveform changes from one level to another in a steady fashion, without 
intermediate retracement or oscillation. 
MTBF 
Mean time between failure 
Noise 
The periodic or random signals over frequency band of 0 Hz to 20 MHz. 
Overcurrent 
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. 
PFC 
Power Factor Corrected. 
PWOK 
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. 
Ripple 
The periodic or random signals over a frequency band of 0 Hz to 20 MHz. 
Rise Time 
Rise time is defined as the time it takes any output voltage to rise from 
10% to 95% of its nominal voltage. 
Sag 
The condition where the AC line voltage drops below the nominal voltage 
conditions. 
Surge 
The condition where the AC line voltage rises above nominal voltage. 
VSB or Standby Voltage 
An output voltage that is present whenever AC power is applied to the AC 
inputs of the supply.
