DS3800DMPC1E1C

Product Description

The GE Microprocessor Board DS3800DMPC1E1C features 1 programmable timer module (TPM). The GE Microprocessor Board DS3800DMPC1E1C also is populated with 1 34-pin ribbon cable, 1 50-pin ribbon cable, and 3 jumpers. The programmable timer module supplies the processing functions to control the board. Erasable programmable read-only memory (EPROM) modules supply the firmware and programming code that control the TPM. The EPROM modules are connected to the board through sockets that are embedded on the board. You can remove the modules,  if necessary. Insert a flat-blade screwdriver into the space between the EPROM module and the socket. Then, insert the blade into the other end of the module. You can gently pry the module off but you must immediately place the module in a static sensitive bag. This is because the module is sensitive to static and can be damaged easily.

If a new version of firmware or other code is available, you can erase the code from the module and replace it. The download can be performed on a laptop that is connected to the drive through a serial cable. The control panel contains  a user interface that gives you access to a command to start a download through the serial cable. When complete a message displays informing you that it is successfully completed. If the download is not successful, make sure the serial cable is fully connected to the laptop and the drive.

The capacitors on the board have IDs that are prefixed with C. Following the prefix is a numerical value. C1, C6, and C11 are some samples of capacitor IDs.
