What does mean this....

My power supply says:
+3.3V/22A +5V/32A +12V/16A
What does mean the other numbers? and which is the best number?¿

A computer Power supply provides power to the PC.
The PC operates on different voltages, +3.3v, +5v, +12v and even -12v and -5v.
An axample would be a CD drive may require 12V and a floppy drive may only need 5v.
Think of the power supply as a combination of different batteries.
The second part to your numbers is the Current ratings. As each voltage is separate from the other voltages they all have their own Current rating.
So in your power supply the +3.3v battery/(known as rail) can only provide 22Amps, the +5v rail can only provide 32Amps.
To understand how voltage and current are related you need to know a bit about electricity.
Voltage = current X resistance.     Power = Voltage x Current.
Now if a cd drive in your PC required +5v and 16Amps, how many could you have?
The answer is 2, provided they are the same as different CD drives have different specifications.
So if you put 3 of these CD drives in your PC what would happen?
Your power supply will try to provide +5V to all of them and 48Amps (16x3) but this is too much POWER for your power supply to provide, the result is smoke and your power supply will burn.
This applies to all the Voltage rails in the power supply. Therefore the higher the Current rating per Voltage rail, the better the power supply as it can handle more devices which means provide more POWER.
So just incase you are still confused,
The power supply is a combination of batteries, 6 in total. Batteries known as rails.
+3.3v, +5v, +12v, -5V, -12V, +5vsb
Each battery has a Current rating.
The more current a voltage rail can provide, the better the power supply.
Finally incase you thought this, The batteries are always the 6 values I stated as it is a power supply specification, manufacturers try to get their power supply to match these Voltage values.
Now numbers mean something

  • What does mean You can include static and dynamic tables into a Smart Form?

    Hi guys,
    If you check the official documentation for Smart forms in the Internet you will read that the initial pharagraphs of the text tell you "Tables - You can include static and dynamic tables into a Smart Form. Dynamic tables enable you to display tables whose size is determined only at the moment of their output by the number of the table items to be displayed". The link is the following: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/a5/de6838abce021ae10000009b38f842/frameset.htm
    I was wondering if this means that I can use field symbols with dynamical number of columns to print a smart form. Because it would be great since the customer wanted a dynamical report depending on the week day it was (If Monday, there was only 12 columns, but if Friday, it will be 52 columns (1 column more for every day elapsed in the current week)). I had to create 5 different forms, but I think using field symbols I had spent less effort. Do you know if it is really possible? If not, then what does mean "You can include static and dynamic tables into a Smart Form"?
    Thank you in advance

    Hi ,
    The concept of static and dynamic tables in smartforms, means you can use template- ( static table as no of rows and columns is fixed). Also you can use table- dynamic as the no of rows will depend on your line items.
    Hope this will help you to close this thread.
    Also, try to find this answer in posted forums. Creating a new forum everytime just increases the network traffic. So please try to avoid it.

    what does mean the itune icon with a cable in the iphone screen?

    I'm having exact same problem. I was installing the latest ios7 update (to fix some Facetime bug that I don't have) and this happened. I noticed in some other posts on similar problem to hold down the sleep and on buttons at the same time and tried that. No change. Then I plugged it into my laptop and it said it was in recovery mode. I'm now in the process of restoring the software.
    I really hope I haven't lost all my contacts, notes, and photos.

  • What does mean "2 component active for validations"?

    Hi Gurus,
    I want to activate cost center component in a controlling area(tcode okkp). So I want to know what does mean " 2 component active for validations", and the difference with " 1 component active". It seems that co document will not be created when I choose "2 component active for validations".
    Thanks in advance,
    --Alex

    Hello Alexander,
    1  -  Active
    CCA is active without limitation. Cost centers are validated against the cost center master. They can be used as account assignment objects. The CO files are updated on posting.
    2  -  Active for validations
    CCA is not active. Cost centers are validated against the cost center master. The cost centers can be used as account assignment objects but the relevant CO files are not updated on posting. If CCA is implemented at a later date, you can subsequently post the cost-relevant business transactions in cost centers to the relevant CO files (OKBA, OKBB, OKBC).
    So when you set the activation status to 1, you can post CO documents, and when you set the status to 2, co CO documents will be created but you can set CO objects on posting lines and these CO objects will be validated. This ensures, when you activate CCC at a later date, then these postings can be re-posted to CO.
    Cheers,
    Daniela

  • What does mean "property node and invoke node"?

    Typically with any activeX programming in labview you drop an reference to an object , open the reference, then invoke the methods and set the properties and when done you close the reference.  To select what reference you would like right click on the activeX reference and choose "browse".  The excel object library provides many activeX interfaces but typically you would manipulate the application object, Workbook or worksheet but I have only used the excel interface a few times, I prefer to use excel offline and not directly communicate with the application programmaticly.  You can also place an axtiveX container on the front panel and select the Excel container object to embed an excel instance on your front panel.  Good luck.

  • What does "**" mean here

    in this statement :
    2**(1-127)
    what does ** mean?
    thanks

    is this what it mean?
    1 * 2**(129-127) * 1.101 : -> 1 multiplied by 2
    raised to 2 multiplied by 1.101That's how I'd read it.
    Wow that was unclear...
