Hello Group, Our company recently acquired another company and a compliance project has immediately popped up. An ITE product was previously tested and found to be compliant. This product incorporated the chassis/motherboard of a 386 type computer as the main controller internal to the product. The design is now changed to remove this built-in computer and move the controlling functions off to a new & proprietary PCI card that will be installed in a user supplied NT workstation.
When I go for EMC testing, I presume I will have to put a sample host computer with our PCI card installed on the turntable and include it in all the tests. I also assume that the full system must be compliant, including the "sample" host computer. Would anyone care to share with me their experiences in this type of testing? Please include gotcha's to watch out for, brands/models of hosts that work well and anything else that may smooth the process. BTW, we have always done Class A tests because this is not home use equipment. But, given the PCI card goes in a possibly home computer, does the card and/or system now have to be Class B? Anything else I should know? As always, thanks for your input.
