Description

The GE Fish II Expander Board DS3800HFXB1 is designed for quick installation in the drive. The board features a modular connector on 1 end and retention levers on the other end. The board is populated with 1 40-pin connector and 1 34-pin connector between the retention levers. The board also has 1 20-pin connector embedded on the board. The GE Fish II Expander Board DS3800HFXB1 also is populated with 1 amber indicator LED. The board is also populated with 2 sockets for electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM) modules, and 11 jumpers.

The GE Fish II Expander Board DS3800HFXB1 is also populated with 2 trimmer resistors. The trimmer resistors enable a qualified servicer to trim or adjust the resistance provided by the component. The components are also called potentiometers because they can be adjusted. The adjustment is made by turning a small screw on the side of the component. Only qualified servicers can use them because knowing how to correctly calibrate a testing device is important. Also understanding the risk of handling high voltage devices, like the drive, is also necessary. To configure the trimmer resistors, touch the probes to the appropriate locations on the board and set the testing device so you can read the display. Adjust the screw until the proper output is reached.

Both the connectors located between the retention levers are equipped with retention latches. The retention latches clip over the ribbon cable connectors and hold the ribbon cable in the connector. Before you attempt to remove the ribbon cable, make sure you first release the retention clip.
