  2. PS-ON Signal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PS-ON_Signal

    #PS_ON pin is marked by number 16. PS-ON Signal is a pin on a 20-pin or 24-pin ATX-specified power connector used to turn a personal computer power supply unit on/off. The PS_ON pin is normally pulled high in an open-circuit, but will turn on the power supply when it is pulled low, by shorting it to the common signal (COM).

  3. Power good signal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_good_signal

    The ATX specification defines the Power-Good signal as a +5-volt (V) signal generated in the power supply when it has passed its internal self-tests and the outputs have stabilized. This normally takes between 0.1 and 0.5 seconds after the power supply is switched on.

  4. Batteries Included (company) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batteries_Included_(company)

    Batteries Included was founded by siblings Alan Krofchick, Robbie Krofchick and Marcie Swartz in 1978 as a calculator and personal computer retail store. [2] The hand-held electronic devices they sold were always advertised as "batteries not included," so they included the batteries for free and named themselves Batteries Included. [3]

  5. Power supply unit (computer) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_supply_unit_(computer)

    First-generation microcomputer and home computer power supply units used a heavy step-down transformer and a linear power supply, as used, in for example, the Commodore PET introduced in 1977. The Apple II , also introduced in 1977, was noted for its switched-mode power supply , which was lighter and smaller than an equivalent linear power ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/16-Pin_12vHPWR_connector

    The connector first appeared in the Nvidia RTX 40 GPUs. [5] [6] The prior Nvidia RTX 30 series introduced a similar, proprietary connector in the "Founder's Edition" cards, which also uses an arrangement of twelve pins for power, but did not have the sense pins, except for the connector on the founders edition RTX 3090 Ti (though not present on the adapter supplied with those cards.) [7]

    Power supply may be bad Long continuous beep tone Memory failure Steady, long beeps Power supply bad No beep Power supply bad, system not plugged in, or power not turned on No beep If everything seems to be functioning correctly there may be a problem with the 'beeper' itself. The system will normally beep one short beep. One long, two short beeps

  8. Crowbar (circuit) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crowbar_(circuit)

    A crowbar circuit is an electrical circuit used for preventing an overvoltage or surge condition of a power supply unit from damaging the circuits attached to the power supply. It operates by putting a short circuit or low resistance path across the voltage output (V o ), like dropping a crowbar across the output terminals of the power supply.

  9. Standby power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standby_power

    In the US the average home used an average of 10,649 kWh of electricity per year in 2019, down from 11,040 kWh in 2008. [ 10 ] [ 11 ] Each watt of power consumed by a device running continuously consumes about 9 kWh (1 W × 365.25 days/year × 24 hours/day) per year, a little less than one thousandth of the annual US household consumption.
