Group,
Thanks for your thoughts on this.
The main problem is not the power supply as this derives its power from the
backplane and so it is not powered up if removed. The main problem is the other
slots where the cumulative power from all of the redundant power supplies is
avaialable and this is over 240VA. On its own each PSU is under the 240VA limit.
To add insult to injury the type of connectors used on compact PCI (amp Z packs)
do not have a female board mount derivative, at least not a straight one but a
right angle one, hence the male connectors have ended up on the backplane. Who
wrote this silly compact PCI standard anyway! (it obviously had no input from a
product safety engineer!)
any more examples of how you guys have overcome this problem would be
appreciated.
Thanks again,
Duncan.
