MOTM

I have a separate power supply in each of my 24U modules.  I would 
regularly crowbar one of the rails on power-up every few days.  I had 
an extremely slow risetime on the -15 volts.  I use the power-on delay 
to power up half of the cabinet so I lessen the initial load on the 
power supply by 50%.  It depends on the number and type of the modules 
and how sensitive the power supply is to inrush current on the DC 
rails.

My triple output supply never has crowbar'd and I didn't put a delay 
on it, just on the dual supplies.
