Description

The GE General Regulator Board DS3800DMPK features 14 erasable programmable read-only memory (EPROM) modules. The GE General Regulator Board DS3800DMPK also is populated with 2 34-pin ribbon cables, 2 single-pin connectors, and 17 jumpers.

The EPROM modules are sensitive to static electricity. The contents of the modules can be corrupted by static and made unreadable. To avoid that, follow some basic guidelines concerning handling the modules. The board arrives in a cardboard shipping box and the best practice is to first examine the outside of the box for signs that damage has occurred to the box. Look for holes in the box as well as dents and gashes. This might indicate that the board is damaged.

You will find affixed to the box a shipping label that contains information about the contents of the box. Write down the information on the label for use at a later time if you need to call for support or service. The information includes the model number and the serial number. Both of those numbers will help the customer support representative provide quick help for the exact model you are calling about. The serial number will provide a link to other details about the drive and all the boards and other equipment installed in it.

The carton is sealed with a security tape that indicates if the box has been tampered with. If the tape is broken it might indicate that the box has been opened. Use a sharp blade to slice through the seal and open the box.
