10.3.2.3  Grounding 
The ground of the pins of the PDB output connectors provides the power return path. The 
output connector ground pins is connected to safety ground (PDB enclosure). This grounding 
is well designed to ensure passing the maximum allowed Common Mode Noise levels. 
10.3.2.4  Remote Sense 
Below is listed the remote sense requirements and connection points for all the converters on 
the PDB and the main 12V output of the power supply.

200mV (remote sense must be able to regulate out 200mV drop 
on the +3.3V and return path; from the 2x12 connector to the 
remote sense points)
