About the DS3800HMPK1M1K
The GE Microprocessor Board DS3800HMPK1M1K 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 Microprocessor Board DS3800HMPK1M1K also is populated with 3 red indicator LEDs and 1 amber LED which are visible from the front of the board. The board also is populated with a microprocessor, erasable programmable read-only memory (EPROM) modules, and a 34-pin connector. It also is populated with 2 50-pin connectors.
When the GE Microprocessor Board DS3800HMPK1M1K is replaced, there are some considerations to keep in mind. The replacement is shipped to the site in a static protective bag and it is best practice to store it in the sealed bag until you are ready to install it. When you open the bag use 2 hands to remove the board from the bag. Hold it by the edges and place it on a static protective mat or other surface.
When you visually inspect the board you will notice that some components on the board are different. Some components might be in different locations. This is because the circuitry is improved from version to version and moving components to accommodate the circuit changes is necessary. You might also see that the components might look different. They might be different in color, shape, or design. Despite the difference, the board is compatible and will provide the same high level or service in the drive. This is due to the extensive product testing to ensure compatibility between the multiple board versions.
