Word / Acronym 
Definition 
ACA 
Australian Communication Authority 
ANSI American 
National Standards Institute 
ATX 
Advanced Technology Extended 
Auto-Ranging 
Power supply that automatically senses and adjust itself to the proper input voltage range 
(110 VAC or 220 VAC). No manual switches or manual adjustments are needed. 
BMC 
Baseboard Management Controller 
CFM 
Cubic Feet per Minute (airflow) 
CMOS 
Complementary Metal Oxide Silicon 
Dropout 
A condition that allows the line voltage input to the power supply to drop to below the 
minimum operating voltage. 
EEB Entry 
E-Bay 
EMP 
Emergency Management Port 
FP Front 
Panel 
FRB 
Fault Resilient Booting 
FRU 
Field Replaceable Unit 
HSBP 
Hot Swap Backplane 
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. 
LCD 
Liquid Crystal Display 
LCP 
Local Control Panel 
LPC Low-Pin 
Count 
Monotonically 
A waveform changes from one level to another in a steady fashion, without intermediate 
retrenchment or oscillation. 
MTBF 
Mean Time Between Failure 
MTTR 
Mean Time to Repair 
Noise 
The periodic or random signals over frequency band of 10 Hz to 20 MHz. 
OTP 
Over Temperature Protection 
Over-current 
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. 
OVP 
Over Voltage Protection 
PDB 
Power Distribution Board 
PFC 
Power Factor Correction 
PSU 
Power Supply Unit 
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 
RI Ring 
Indicate 
Ripple 
The periodic or random signals over frequency band of 10 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 
SAS 
Serial Attached SCSI
