The CCSI RERP-303 1U Power Supply

Power supply design for 1U servers is another extremely
challenging task due to several opposing design criteria. On the one
hand we must provide more power for the higher speed dual CPU processor
servers and on the other hand we have far less physical space available
for the power supply plus we have to contend with the thermal issues
described above.
Increasing
power output while significantly reducing the size, and providing
the required thermal management of high output 1U power supplies is
a daunting task, which is well beyond the abilities of the average
conventional designer. In fact, with experienced engineering staff
with many years of experience in designing high density systems and
solving thermal management challenges, CCSI still spent over 2000
man-hours on these solutions and went through three different power
supply designs to arrive at the final dual 300 watt power supply utilized
in our RC 0103 1U chassis.
To solve these thermal obstacles and
build "future proof" thermally correct high-density high performance
1U solutions, CCSI created a task force of engineering experts
with one objective: to design and develop both 1U server solutions
that meet and exceed the thermal requirements of not only today's
but also future high performance CPU's.

Note
1: The +5 & +3.3 Volt total output shall not exceed 300 Watts.
Note
2: The +5, +12 & +3.3 Volt total output shall not exceed 540
Watts.
Note
3: The +12V1 & +12V2 outputs of the power supply must be capable
of 18 Amps peak for 10 seconds. A
+/-10% tolerance is permissible. Output voltage is measured at the
load and of the output cable. There is NO redundancy on the +12V1
& +12V2.
Note
4: Noise bandwidth is from DC to 20 MHz.
Note
5: Regulation tolerance shall include temperature change, warm
up drift and dynamic load.
