About the DS3800HCMB1C1C

The GE Universal Communications Processor Board DS3800HCMB1C1C 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 GE Universal Communications Processor Board DS3800HCMB1C1C also is populated with a microprocessor and 1 40-pin connector on the surface of the board. The board is populated with 1 amber indicator LED and standoffs. The board is also populated with 3 sockets for electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM) modules and 25 jumpers.

The microprocessor on the GE Universal Communications Processor Board DS3800HCMB1C1C uses the firmware and other code on the EEPROM modules to control the processing activity. The microprocessor reads the code and firmware but cannot write to the modules. That means the code cannot be interfered with or compromised. The modules provide memory that be accessed quickly by the microprocessor.

However, the modules can be erased and updated code can be written to the modules. The firmware and other code is improved and updated with the latest fixes and added functionality. If you experience problems that are related to the firmware, the resolution might be to load the latest code on the modules. The latest code might have a fix to the problem you are experiencing.

The modules are installed on a socket that populates the board. It is best practice to remove the modules when you replace the board. Then, install the same modules in the sockets on the new board. In this way, the microprocessor will use the same instruction code.
