Abstract :
Testing large systems for EMC compliance is expensive. This is compounded by the unique characteristics of large arrays of disk drives used in network file servers. A test fixture is described which provides a quick estimate of the EMC performance of a disk drive to find problems before an expensive EMC compliance test is undertaken. Data is presented and analyzed that represents typical results
