Installing the I/O Shield
CAUTION
Systems based on the S875WP1-E server board need the I/O shield properly
installed to pass emissions (EMI) certification testing and to meet Class A
emissions compliance levels. Without the I/O shield, or with an improperly
installed I/O shield, the server system will not meet Class A regulatory
compliance requirements.
The boxed server board comes with an I/O shield for a general-purpose chassis. When installed in
the chassis, the shield blocks radio frequency transmissions, protects internal components from dust
and foreign objects, and promotes correct airflow within the chassis.
Install the I/O shield before installing the server board in the chassis. Place the shield inside the
chassis and press the shield into place so that it fits tightly and securely. If the shield does not fit,
obtain a proper-sized shield from the chassis supplier.
