7. Output Protection

7.1 Over Voltage Protection

The +5V/+12V/+3.3V DC output are protected against the over voltage condition. Maximum value can't be over 6.5V at 5V terminal and 15.5V at 12V, 4.3V at 3.3V.

7.2 Over-Current Protection

Current protection should be designed to limit the current to operate within safe operating conditions. Over current protection schemes where only the voltage output that experiences the over current event is shut off may be adequate to maintain safe operation of the power supply and the system; however, damage to the motherboard or other system components may occur. The recommended over current protection scheme is for the power supply to latch into the shutdown state. The setting of over current protection for each output rail is as following.

7.3 Over Power Protection

The power supply will be shutdown and latch off when output power is 105%\~150%.

7.4 Over-Temperature Protection

This power supply includes an over-temperature protection sensor, which can trip and shut down the power supply at 110^ C

7.5 Under voltage protection

In an under voltage fault occurs, the supply will latch all DC outputs into a shutdown state when +12V,+5V & +3.3V outputs under 60% of it's maximum value.

7.6 Short Circuit Protection

Short circuit placed on +5V,+12V,+3.3V,-12V will latch off. +5VSB will auto-recovery.

8. Environmental Requirements

6.1 Operating / Storage Temperature Range

Operating ambient : 0°C min to +40°C max Non operating ambient : -20°C to +60°C

6.2 Humidity (non condensing)

Operating ambient : 10% to 90% relative humidity Non operating ambient : 5% to 95% relative humidity
