OCP at +12 V and OPP are properly set, while the OCP triggering points are a bit high on the minor rails.

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 lower than the other two rails.

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

Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) is the ability of a device to operate properly 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 is too high.



No spurs go over the limits with the average or peak EMI detectors.
