Definitions of Pin Signals
Signal
Definition
INH#
Inhibit signal MAY be used to “turn off” the power supply outputs. This 
signal is on a longer pin than the EN#(enable) signal and therefore has 
precedence over the EN# signal when determining power supply 
operation (see table below). The INH# signal is typically connected to 
an “ON/OFF” switch. This signal is optional. 
Module Power Supply Operation 
 
 
 
ISH
Current Share signal MAY be used between multiple power supplies 
for load balancing. This signal is not required for single power supply 
systems. 
5S
−
5V Sense – SHALL be connected to the center of the ground plane for 
accommodating power distribution losses. This signal is required for all 
modular power supplies. 
5S+
5V Sense + SHALL be connected to the center of the power plane for 
accommodating power distribution losses. This signal is required for all 
modular power supplies. 
ACL
AC Line input SHALL be used for supplies operating from AC. This 
input is not required for DC input power supplies. Separate AC and DC 
inputs are provided to prevent damaging an AC power supply inserted 
into a backplane wired for DC and visa versa. 
ACN
AC Neutral input SHALL be used for supplies operating from AC. This 
input is not required for DC input power supplies. 
+DC
Positive DC input SHALL be used for supplies operating from DC. This 
input is not required for AC input power supplies. Separate AC and DC 
inputs are provided to prevent damaging a DC power supply inserted 
into a backplane wired for AC and visa versa. 
−DC
Negative DC input SHALL be used for supplies operating from DC. 
This input is not required for AC input power supplies. 
EN#
Enable signal MAY be used to “turn on” the power supply outputs. EN# 
is used in conjunction with INH# (see table of INH#) and is typically 
connected to ground to enable the power supply after signals on longer 
pins have made contact. This signal is optional. 
DEG#
Derating signal MAY be used as an output from the power supply to 
indicate that the supply is beginning to derate its power output. This 
signal is optional. Note that backplanes providing a modular power 
supply connector shall connect DEG# to the backplane signal DEG# in 
the event that a power supply implementing this signal is installed. 
FAL#
Supply Fail signal MAY be used as an output from the power supply to 
indicate that it has failed. This signal is optional. Note that backplanes 
providing a modular power supply connector shall connect FAL# to the 
backplane signal FAL# in the event that a power supply implementing 
this signal is installed.
