FCC Compliance
The MVME162LX is a board-level product and is meant to be used
in standard VME applications. As such, it is the responsibility of
system integrators to to meet the regulatory guidelines pertaining
to a given application. The MVME162LX has been tested in a
representative chassis for CE class B EMC certification. Compliance
was achieved under the following conditions:
1. Shielded cables on all external I/O ports.
2. Cable shields connected to earth ground via metal shell
connectors bonded to a conductive module front panel.
3. Conductive chassis rails connected to earth ground. This
provides the path for connecting shields to earth ground.
4. Front panel screws properly tightened.
For minimum RF emissions, it is essential that the conditions above
be implemented. Failure to do so could compromise the FCC
compliance of the equipment containing the module.
