[SI-LIST] Re: Reset problem with power supply

Hi V S,

I've seen this a few times. The root cause can lie in a few different 
areas, but in general check these areas first:

- Power supply ramp rate between the bench supply and the real system 
supply (there is probably a difference)

- If there is a difference, it may not be the real system supply, but 
you may need to *tune* the main ECB (Electronic
  Circuit Breaker) (also called a Hotswap Controller) circuit RC values 
based on your power supply ramp conditions
  and the loads that this power supply will see. make sure you vary the 
load over the complete range to make sure
  everything works over that load range (as you make changes).

Good luck!
Ron
