Statement of Shuttle Mainboard via the EMI Test
Shuttle mainboards have been via the EMI test in terms of series of regulations: EN55022/
CISPR22/AS/NZS3548ClassB,EN55024 (1998/AS/NZS), EN4252.1 (1994), EN61000,ANSI
C63.4 (1992), CFR47 Part 15 Subpart B, and CNS13438 (1997). The items tested are illus-
trated as follows:
(A)Voltage:AC110V/60HZ &AC230V/50HZ

(D) Difference betweenAK32E and AK32:
To discriminate AK32E from AK32 lies in the extent that chips in AK32E support USB 2.0, and
the combination for testing is based onAK32E.

(E) Supported Host Peripherals:
(F) Supported Devices:
(G) Notices for Assembling Computers:
1. Cases should be made of iron or other metal that has good electric conductivity.
2. Cylinders in a case should be made of metal, and as having a mainboard mounted
in a case, make sure screws are all utilized and fastened on a mainboard.
3. An I/O shielding should be contacted with I/O metallic parts of a mainboard.
4. Cables should appropriately be arranged and fixed in a case. Follow instructions:
Ø Leave IDE cables not crossed upon CPU and SDRAM;
Ø Leave power cables minimum in length, and not crossed upon a mainboard;
Ø Leave CPU fan cables minimum in length, and not near CPU;
Ø Leave cables on panels and other spare cables tied in a computer case.
5. Make sure an EMI shielding attached to a case has properly been installed.
6. Make sure a 5.25" or 3.5" FDD and screws are fastened to an EMI shielding.
7. Make sure a case is closely in contact with EMI connected points.
8. Make sure there is no cleft in a case which is not deformed.
9. Make sure a PCI orAGP door is bound to a case.
10. Make sure cables of other devices (fans or some others) are fixed in a case.
