Description

The GE Drive Control Board DS3800HFPG1 features a modular connector for attachment to a drive and retention levers to hold the board in the drive. The GE Drive Control Board DS3800HFPG1 also is populated with a microprocessor and multiple erasable programmable read-only (EPROM) modules. The board has 1 34-pin connector that is accessible from the front of the board. It also is populated with test points and 1 40-pin connector on the surface of the board.

Another component on the board is a transistor to transistor logic (TTL) device. It serves as the interface logic between integrated circuits.

The GE Drive Control Board DS3800HFPG1 requires 2 spaces in the board rack because it is twice the size of a standard board. The board has a dedicated position in the board rack. The dedicated slot also allows room for cables to be connected to the surface of the board. It also requires 2 modular connectors at the rear of the board rack. The board is populated with 2 modular connectors and is designed to use the connectors to receive and transmit signals. It also uses the modular connectors to receive the voltage required to run the board.

If you plan to connect a ribbon cable to the 40-pin connector, you must consider some information. The ribbon cable can block the air flow from passing over the microprocessor. For that reason, make sure the ribbon cable is routed away from the microprocessor. Route the cable toward the side of the drive interior and way from the components.
