About the DS3800HAIC1B1A

The GE Regulator Board DS3800HAIC1B1A features a modular connector for attachment to a drive and retention levers to hold the board in the drive. The GE Regulator Board DS3800HAIC1B1A also is populated with 9 jumpers, and 2 trimmer resistor components. The board also has 1 20-pin connector and several test points.

The test points have IDs that are useful when you want to test the circuits on the board. The test points enable a technician to test the circuits on the board. Each test point is part of a circuit and tests specific functionality. The qualified servicer might have need to refer to service documentation concerning the board. The service documentation describes each circuit and also includes a diagram of the board. The IDs used to describe the test points in the service document will match the IDs you see printed on the surface of the board. The IDs do not contain a standard prefix but instead describe the purpose of the circuit. For example, some of the IDs are CLK, DV, DB, JAT, and JBT.

When you find the test point you want to test for the specific function, first disconnect the ribbon cables attached to the board and pull up on the retention levers. Use the levers to pull the board out of the board rack and place it immediately on a dry, clean and sturdy surface. The qualified servicer will have the proper testing equipment to perform the task. Throughout the procedure the servicer must wear a wrist strap to protect against static build up.
