About the DS3800HLNE

The GE Network Controller Board DS3800HLNE features a modular connector on 1 end and retention levers on the other end. The board is populated with a microprocessor. The board is populated with multiple transistor-transistor logic devices. The GE Network Controller Board DS3800HLNE is also populated with 3 red indicator LEDs and 1 amber indicator LED. The board also has multiple  sockets for electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM) modules. The board is also populated with 16 jumpers and 1 34-pin connector.

The microprocessor on the GE Network Controller Board DS3800HLNE is a dedicated device that controls the networking functionality. The microprocessor is installed in a socket and the socket is embedded on the board. The microprocessor generates heat during normal operation and so you must consider how to keep the microprocessor cool, as well as the drive in which it is installed. When the board is installed select a rack location with at least 3 inches of open space around it for air to move freely over the microprocessor. If air cannot remove the excessive heat from the board, the drive might overheat. Make sure the ribbon cables inside the drive do not block air flow.

If the drive shuts down, run the diagnostic tools to access a log of the recent errors. You might find that the drive experienced an overheat condition. This will automatically shutdown the drive. Before you restart the drive, check that the air flow is not blocked. This is critical that the air vents at the top and bottom of the drive are clear.
