Subject: Enclosure Units.


Hello,
 
first of all, thanks for the information you sent to me about the Shielding
Enclosures Standards.
 
I've been looking through Compaq and IBM web sites and have seen they
measure its enclosures in U's. Have tried to know wich units U is: 4,4cm,
4,7cm, 5cm... Can't find a concrete figure for U.
 
Could you please tell me what U is? (Half a disquette, answered a guy in the
customer service).
 
Even noticed they do not offer major protection against EMF. Do they have it
or I have not searched enough?
 
Thanks.
