PCI-SIG、12VHPWRコネクタに関してメンバー企業に注意を喚起

PCI-SIGは12月1日、加盟するメンバー企業に対して12VHPWRに関する注意を喚起するメッセージを送ったことを明らかにした。メッセージは以下の通り。

We previously sent an email notifying you that one manufacturer has reported to PCI-SIG potential safety issues with its use of the 12VHPWR connection. Further to that, we have been informed of a recent lawsuit: Genova v. Nvidia Corporation, U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California case No. 5:22-cv-07090. The lawsuit alleges, in part, that 12VHPWR cable plugs experienced “melting … posing a serious electrical and fire hazard”.
