  • Publication number: 20210018546
    Abstract: A data processing device includes an internal volume that is electromagnetic interference (EMI) isolated. The data processing device further includes an electromagnetic radiation (EMR) suppressing vent that defines one wall of the internal volume. The data processing device further includes a wireless system. The wireless system includes a first portion that is disposed in the internal volume. The first portion receives network data units from EMI emitting devices disposed in the internal volume and a second portion of the wireless system. The second portion is disposed outside of the internal volume and obtains the network data units from the first portion using a wireless connection that utilizes a transmission path that traverses through the EMR suppressing vent.

  • Publication number: 20210018549
    Abstract: A data processing device includes an internal volume for housing devices and an isolation test system. The isolation test system makes a determination that an electromagnetic interference suppression state of the data processing device is to be determined; in response to the determination: suppresses generation of electromagnetic radiation by the devices; while the generation of the electromagnetic radiation by the devices is suppressed: identifies a quantity of second electromagnetic radiation that propagated through a boundary of the internal volume; makes a second determination, based at least in part on the quantity, that the electromagnetic interference suppression state of the data processing device is an electromagnetic interference suppression compromised state; and initiates performance of an action set to remediate the electromagnetic interference suppression compromised state of the data processing device based on the second determination.
