SSD has passed radiated emissions testing (10 meter chamber) with a minimum
margin of 4dB below the EN55022 radiated emissions limits in all applicable customer platforms,
without any required changes to the system platforms.
without any required changes to the system platforms.
Emissions testing in a 3 meter chamber for over 1GHz per the FCC limit for Class B was performed
up to 2GHz with the -4dB margin relative to the FCC Class B limit.
up to 2GHz with the -4dB margin relative to the FCC Class B limit.
In preparation for the new CISPR 22 standard change that may go into effect in the year 2007, the
drives will pass EMI tests up to the higher frequency of either 6GHz or the fifth harmonic of the highest
signal on the drive. This requirement is applicable to all products being qualified after this version is
released. The specification limits are listed in Table 42.
