NOTE:
1. R =
average power during internal T
Max Sustained Power (ie.TDP)
2. This is also the max ratio of instantaneous power relative to maximum sustained
power
3. ln(T) is the natural logarithm function
4. Add-in Card must at all times and concurrently adhere to power excursion limits for
all time interval lengths as well as the limits defined for Power Supply Rail
Requirements in Table 3-5
.
5. Engineering Change Notice for up to 300 Watts (Work in Progress) will likely make
this table apply to all cards mounting the 12VHPWR connector.
