Protection Features Evaluation

Most protection features are correctly set. I only object to the high OCP triggering points on the minor rails, which should be below 140%. There is no point for such a strong 3.3 V rail with the voltage at 5 V dropping low.

DC Power Sequencing

According to Intel's most recent Power Supply Design Guide (revision 1.4), the +12 V and +5 V rails must have voltages equal to or greater than the +3.3 V rail's output at all times. We turn the unit off for our first measurement and switch it back on without a load on any of the rails.



The 3.3 V rail is always at a lower voltage than the other two rails.

EMC Pre-Compliance Testing - Average and Quasi-Peak EMI Detector Results

Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) is the ability of a device to operate correctly in its environment without disrupting the proper operation of other close-by devices.

Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) stands for the electromagnetic energy a device emits, and it can cause problems in other close-by devices if too high.



The PSU's EMI filter does a pretty good job.
