Abstract

The design of an electro-magnetic radiation suppression shield and cooling housing for a computer, server or other electronic device having a computer processor may be greatly enhanced and expedited by a test apparatus that permits the placement of electro-magnetic radiation suppression plates at differing locations, spacings and alignments, which allows a variance in positioning the electro-magnetic radiation source. The test apparatus not only has an air flow cooling opening in which an electro-magnetic radiation suppression panel forms cooling air flow holes but also a fixture for disposing a second similar electromagnetic radiation suppression panel at a distance from the first electro-magnetic radiation suppression panel. Each of the panels may be substituted to test various designs. The test apparatus further is provided with a telescoping support projecting into the interior cavity so that the electromagnetic radiation source may be moved about in the interior and thus simulate a large number of positions and conditions. The test apparatus provides a greatly enhanced tool in the trial and error approach to electro-magnetic radiation control.
