10.2.1 Power Supply Modules
The output rating of each power supply is 850 watts when operated between 200 VAC and 240 VAC. Modules are
current-sharing and have auto-ranging input. Each power supply is 7.75 inches wide, 14.5 inches deep, and 1.47
inches high. The power supply modules have universal AC input with Power Factor Correction (PFC) Distributed Power
Supplies (DPS). The AC input receptacle is an IEC-320 C14 15A rated for a 250 VAC minimum.
The power supply operates over the range and limits shown in the following table.
Table 32. AC Input Rating
Parameter Minimum Nominal Maximum Start Up VAC Power Off VAC
Voltage (115) 90 Vrms 100-127 Vrms 140 Vrms 85 VAC +/-4
VAC
75 VAC +/-5 VAC
Voltage (220) 180 Vrms 200-240 Vrms 264 Vrms
Frequency 47 Hz 50/60 63 Hz
When input power is applied to the power supply, any initial current surge or spike of 10 ms or less should not exceed
55A. Any additional inrush current surges or spikes in the form of AC cycles or multiple AC cycles greater than 10 ms,
and less than 150 ms, must not exceed 25A.
The power supply has DC outputs of 12 V and 3.3 VSB. The 12 V main power is distributed through the server and is
converted locally at the point-of-load using embedded Voltage Regulator Module (VRM) converters. The power supply
is capable of power-safe monitoring.
The DC output voltages remain within the ranges shown in the following table when operating at steady state and
dynamic loading conditions. These limits include the peak-peak ripple/noise.

+3.3Vstandby -3%/+5% +3.20 +3.30 +3.46 VDC
The combined continuous output power for all outputs does not exceed 850W. Each output has the maximum and
minimum current rating shown in the following table.

+12V 0A 69A 88A
+3.3V standby 0A 6.0A
*Note: Values are at the system level. For 2+2/or 3+1 redundant systems, the load each power supply provides is
based on its current sharing accuracy.
