Procedure 5: Install the Ferrite Block
This procedure describes how to attach the ferrite block to the Ethernet cable before
connecting the cable to your SmartBits chassis.
The ferrite block is designed to absorb excess electronic magnetic interference (EMI) that
is transferred through the Ethernet cable to your SmartBits chassis. This prevents potential
damage to your SmartBits chassis and module and helps ensure that test data is not
corrupted.
The ferrite block (see Figure 2-2) is packaged as part of the Base Unit Cable Kit that is
sent with your SmartBits chassis.
Figure 2-2. Ferrite Block
Warning: Before you begin using your SmartBits chassis, make sure that you have
attached the ferrite block to the Ethernet cable using the procedure below.
Installing the Ferrite Block
To install the ferrite block:
1 Remove the ferrite block and the Ethernet cable from the Base Unit Cable Kit
package.
2 Release the built-in clip on the side of the ferrite block and open it so that the center of
the ferrite block faces up. Place the Ethernet cable in the open ferrite block
(see Figure 2-3 on page 37, #1).
3 Clamp the ferrite block around the Ethernet cable making sure the built-in clip snaps
together (see Figure 2-3 on page 37, #2).
4 Connect the Ethernet cable to the chassis (see Figure 2-3 on page 37, #3).
