Electromagnetic Compatibility Guidelines
This product was tested and complies with the regulatory requirements and limits for
electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) stated in the product specifications. These requirements
and limits provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the product is
operated in the intended operational electromagnetic environment.
This product is intended for use in industrial locations. However, harmful interference may
occur in some installations, when the product is connected to a peripheral device or test object,
or if the product is used in residential or commercial areas. To minimize interference with
radio and television reception and prevent unacceptable performance degradation, install and
use this product in strict accordance with the instructions in the product documentation.
Furthermore, any changes or modifications to the product not expressly approved by National
Instruments could void your authority to operate it under your local regulatory rules.
Caution To ensure the specified EMC performance, operate this product only with
shielded cables and accessories. Fiber optic cables connected to SFP+ and QSFP+
ports do not require shielding.
Caution To ensure the specified EMC performance, the length of any cable
connected to the Ethernet port and the Mini-SAS HD ports must be no longer than
30 m (100 ft.). The lengths of fiber optic cables connected to the SFP+ or QSFP+
ports are not controlled. The length of any cable connected to any other port must be
no longer than 3 m (10 ft.).

conversion of RF signals.
Determine how many modules you are installing and choose the appropriate number of empty
slot(s) in the ATCA-3671. If hardware is present in the slot(s) you choose, remove the installed
ATCA I/O module(s), riser card(s), and additional components from the slot(s).
Ensure you have the following components for each AIO-3681/3682 module:
ATCA-3671 Getting Started Guide | © National Instruments | 7
