Preserve EMI Compliance
To preserve compliance with applicable standards and regulations for
electromagnetic interference (EMI), during operation all front and rear openings on
the chassis or board face plates must be filled with an appropriate card or covered
with a filler panel. If the EMI barrier is open, devices may cause or be susceptible to
excessive interference.
