2. Switched-mode power supply - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switched-mode_power_supply

   An SMPS designed for AC input can usually be run from a DC supply, because the DC would pass through the rectifier unchanged. [35] If the power supply is designed for 115 VAC and has no voltage selector switch, the required DC voltage would be 163 VDC (115 × √2). This type of use may be harmful to the rectifier stage, however, as it will ...

   While an ATX power supply is connected to the mains supply, it always provides a 5-volt standby (5VSB) power so that the standby functions on the computer and certain peripherals are powered. ATX power supplies are turned on and off by a signal from the motherboard .

4. Standby power - Wikipedia

   In July 2007 California's 2005 appliance standards came into effect, limiting external power supply standby power to 0.5 watts. [16] On 6 January 2010, the European Commission (EC) Regulation No 1275/2008 came into force. The regulations mandate that from 6 January 2010, "off mode" and standby power for electrical and electronic household and ...

   This is a critical point – each power supply must be able to power the entire server by itself. Redundancy is further enhanced by plugging each power supply into a different circuit (i.e. to a different circuit breaker). Redundant protection can be extended further yet by connecting each power supply to its own UPS.

6. Auxiliary power - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auxiliary_power

   Auxiliary power is electric power that is provided by an alternate source and that serves as backup for the primary power source at the station main bus or prescribed sub-bus. An offline unit provides electrical isolation between the primary power source and the critical technical load whereas an online unit does not.

7. Power supply - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_supply

   An external power supply, AC adapter or power brick, is a power supply located in the load's AC power cord that plugs into a wall outlet; a wall wart is an external supply integrated with the outlet plug itself. These are popular in consumer electronics because of their safety; the hazardous 120 or 240 volt main current is transformed down to a ...
