- Subject: DRSI BOARD AND RFI
-
- I recently had a conversation with DRSI, and in the course of things
- the subject of RFI came up. Here is some information you may find
- interesting and useful: The board is NOT GROUNDED THRU THE MOTHERBOARD,
- BUT THRU THE METAL BRACKET. (signal and electrical returns are, of course,
- thru the motherboard, but not the connecting cable shield ground.) This
- is done to keep stray RF on the shield from being conducted inside the
- computer case. Those of you who don't always insert the little screw
- may find that making a firm connection between the mounting bracket and
- the case, and having the screws in the cover in place and tight, may
- reduce or eliminate RF getting into the DRSI board and affecting the
- computer. This also may reduce RF coming OUT of the computer, also.
