POWER SUPPLY ASSEMBLY
The power supply assembly is contained in a single unit that features a selectable input voltage:
90-135 VAC and 180-265 VAC.  The assembly provides power for the system board, expansion
board(s), and installed drives. A fault-detection circuit automatically shuts down the power
supply when certain faults are detected. Faults  that can trigger the protection circuitry include:
♦  Overvoltage - The +5 VDC output will activate the overvoltage crowbar circuit that triggers
the protection circuit when the output exceeds +5.60 VDC to +6.80 VDC. The +3.5 VDC
output will activate the overvoltage crowbar circuit when the output is sensed to be in the
+3.7 VDC to +5.0 VDC range.
♦   Short Circuit - The protection circuit triggers if any power supply output is shorted to
ground or to another output.  This function reduces shock or fire hazard
All voltages except the +5AUX are controlled by the PS On signal. The +5AUX signal, produced
by the power supply assembly as long as AC is supplied, is used by the power control logic and
the network interface controller.
Table 7-1 shows the specifications for the power supply.

The system fan is driven by the power supply assembly and adjusted in a linear fashion (5.5-13.6
VDC). The power control logic also has control over the fan through temperature sensing logic
(described in chapter 4) that controls the FAN OFF signal to the power supply assembly. A
temperature sensor within the power supply assembly can override the condition of the FAN OFF
signal if the ambient temperature of the power supply is too high.
