integrated
within the overall
content of this setup guide. The requirement designators in the Index have been codified for use within index
marker tags according to the following example:
NEBS generic requirement number “R1-3 [155]” appears as “R1-3.155” within the Index.
Each codified string (e.g., R1-3.155) is followed by a hyphen and brief description of the requirement. Within
