- TOPIC -----------------------------------------------------------
-
- I'm designing office workspaces to house computers and would like
- specifications for Apple equipment regarding acceptable electro magnetic
- environmental conditions.
-
- For instance, what's the maximum 60Hz magnetic field Apple monitors can be
- exposed to before they produce objectionable jitter? Do you have any
- information about exposing disk drives to EMI fields, and so on?
-
- In addition, I would like similar information on AC power supply
- specifications.
-
- DISCUSSION ------------------------------------------------------
-
- Except for disk drives, Apple doesn't perform EMI susceptibility tests on its
- products.
-
- We test the disk drives to ensure that they have sufficient shielding to
- maintain data integrity in a typical home or office environment. As long as
- the drives remain in their housings, you should have a great deal of latitude
- when positioning them, even without adding additional shielding. They should
- certainly be fine in any normal home or work environment.
-
- As a general rule, in the abnormal situation where there is an EMI effect to
- the hardware, your monitors will be visibly effected long before there is any
- effect to data on your floppy or hard drives or other hardware.
