About the DS3800HLNC1A1A

The GE Network Control Board DS3800HLNC1A1A 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 between the retention levers. The GE Network Control Board DS3800HLNC1A1A also is populated with a microprocessor and 1 amber indicator LED. The board is also populated with 8 sockets for electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM) modules and 21 jumpers.

The GE Network Control Board DS3800HLNC1A1A can be replaced if it is found to be defective. When you receive the replacement board, you will find that the EEPROM sockets are empty. This is expected because it is normal practice to remove the modules from the defective board and install them in the replacement board. During normal operation the microprocessor on the board uses the firmware and other instruction code stored on the modules to process control signals. The firmware and instruction code is used repeatedly and the firmware and instruction code is never changed. This means the code never changes and the processing never varies.

To ensure that the processing with the new board doesn’t change, use the same firmware and instruction code. Consider that the modules are easily damaged by static electricity. To prevent damage, wear a wrist strap when you handle the modules. The socket provides a slot between the module and the socket into which you can insert a screwdriver. Move the screwdriver blade up and down to remove the module. Repeat the action on the other side of the socket.
