8.2 PWOK (Power OK)
STATUS
Required
PWOK is a power OK signal and will be pulled HIGH by the power supply to indicate that all the outputs are within
the regulation limits of the power supply. When any output voltage falls below regulation limits or when AC power
has been removed for a time sufficiently long so that power supply operation is no longer guaranteed, PWOK will
be deasserted to a LOW state. See Figure 3 for a representation of the timing characteristics of PWOK. The
start of the PWOK delay time shall be inhibited as long as any power supply output is in current limit.

8.3 Field Replacement Unit (FRU) Signals
STATUS
Optional
Two pins will be allocated for the FRU information on the power supply connector. One pin is the Serial Clock
(SCL). The second pin is used for Serial Data (SDA). Both pins are bi-directional and are used to form a serial
bus. The FRU circuits inside the power supply must be powered off of 5 VSB output and grounded to ReturnS
(remote sense return). The Write Control (or Write protect) pin should be tied to ReturnS inside the power supply
so that information can be written to the EEPROM.
8.3.1 FRU Data
FRU data shall be stored starting in address location 8000h through 80FFh. The FRU data format shall be
compliant with the IPMI specifications. The current versions of these specifications are available at:
