Steve, That raises and interesting question. The components are not in a rack or case, they are tabletop mounted. I would think that systems on a tabletop would be less in need of being tested as a whole, but para 6.3 doesn't say that.

The rack or case need not be tested as a whole." So, is it a rackfull of systems, or a system in a rack?! :) Steve Seller York EMC Services DISCLAIMER NOTICE http://www.yorkemc.co.uk/Disclaimer York EMC Services, Market Square, The University of York, Heslington, York, YO10 5DD.
