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
using a switch. Electronic intervention can be completed by electronic signals in the Server
System.
