How the tier was reached

  1. MISSED

    Tier A - reference classspec 12.9

    • Minor rail regulation: Independent-ish regulation (SR)
    • Measured electrical behaviour: Electrical performance criticised: The OCP trggering point for the 5VSB line allows for extremely excessive ripple.
    • Too many failed criteria for this tier (1)
  2. MISSED

    Tier B - strong mainstreamspec 12.10

    • Measured electrical behaviour: Electrical performance criticised: The OCP trggering point for the 5VSB line allows for extremely excessive ripple.
    • Too many failed criteria for this tier (1)
  3. MISSED

    Tier C - adequatespec 12.11

    • Measured electrical behaviour: Electrical performance criticised: The OCP trggering point for the 5VSB line allows for extremely excessive ripple.
    • Too many failed criteria for this tier (1)
  4. MISSED

    Tier D - basicspec 12.12

    • Measured electrical behaviour: Electrical performance criticised: The OCP trggering point for the 5VSB line allows for extremely excessive ripple.
  • Insufficient evidence, unknown platform or unsatisfactory architecture (spec 12.13)
  • Modifiers do not apply to E and F
