Getting Started

EMI Configurations Perform the following steps if you intend to install the optional EMI Intermodule shields and/or blank EMI filler panels. Part numbers are listed under Optional Accessories on page 9±9:

NOTE. It is only necessary to install the EMI intermodule shields if your VXIbus module does not have EMI shielding. Backplane EMI DIN shields are standard.

1.Refer to Figure 1±14 and slide the EMI intermodule shields between the grooves of the card guide on one side of each installed VXIbus module. This is recommended to use with unshielded modules; the shielding may not be compatible with some shielded modules. The shield conforms with the VXI specification for intermodule shielding.

2.Install a blank EMI front panel for each empty slot, making sure that the EMI shielding is in contact with the adjacent front panel.
