Backplane Bus Communication Velocity and Power Regulation
Operating within PACSystems RX7i platforms, the power supply module provides regulated DC rails while ensuring stable backplane bus communication velocity across high-density CPU and I/O cards. Firmware flash compatibility and internal voltage monitoring circuits prevent low-voltage brownouts during high transient loads. Thermal dissipation profiles and overcurrent protection mechanisms safeguard internal switching regulators against line surges and short-circuit conditions across multi-slot backplanes.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the primary input voltage ranges supported by the IC698PSA100 power supply?
A: The module accepts an AC input range of 85 to 264 VAC or a DC input range of 100 to 150 VDC.
Q: What current capacities are delivered across the DC output rails?
A: It provides up to 20 A on the +5 VDC rail, up to 2 A on the +12 VDC rail, and up to 1 A on the -12 VDC rail.
Q: Is hot-swapping supported when replacing the power supply unit in an active RX7i rack?
A: System maintenance procedures require removing power or adhering to specific rack redundancy guidelines before extracting the module to prevent backplane bus disruption.
Field Installation Guidelines
Insert the IC698PSA100 module straight into the designated power supply slot of the PACSystems RX7i rack, ensuring proper alignment with rear backplane connectors. Secure the top and bottom retaining screws to maintain structural grounding and vibration resistance. Verify that input AC or DC supply lines match the specified voltage limits prior to closing the cabinet circuit breaker.
