European Union Directive 89/336/EEC requires that this apparatus comply with relevant ITE EMC standards.
EMC compliance demands that this apparatus is installed within a CompactPCI enclosure designed to contain
electromagnetic radiation and which will provide protection for the apparatus with regard to electromagnetic
immunity. This enclosure must be fully shielded. An example of such an enclosure is a 6U EMC-RFI
CompactPCI System chassis, which includes a front cover to complete the enclosure.
The connection of non-shielded equipment interface cables to this equipment will invalidate European Free
Trade Area (EFTA) EMC compliance and may result in electromagnetic interference and/or susceptibility
levels that are in violation of regulations which apply to the legal operation of this device. It is the
responsibility of the system integrator and/or user to apply the following directions, as well as those in the
user manual, which relate to installation and configuration:
All interface cables should be shielded, both inside and outside of the CompactPCI enclosure.
Braid/foil type shields are recommended for serial, parallel, and SCSI interface cables. Where
as external mouse cables are not generally shielded, an internal mouse interface cable must
either be shielded or looped (1 turn) through a ferrite bead at the enclosure point of exit
(bulkhead connector). External cable connectors must be metal with metal back-shells and
provide 360-degree protection about the interface wires. The cable shield must be terminated
directly to the metal connector shell; shield ground drain wires alone are not adequate.
CompactPCI panel mount connectors that provide interface to external cables (e.g.,
RS232, USB, keyboard, mouse, etc.) must have metal housings and provide direct connection
to the metal CompactPCI chassis. Connector ground drain wires are not adequate.
