About the DS3800HPLA1B1D
The GE Panel Interface Board DS3800HPLA1B1D is designed for quick installation in the drive. The board features 1 hole in each corner. The board can be secured with screws. The board is populated with 1 40-pin connector embedded on the board. The GE Panel Interface Board DS3800HPLA1B1D daughter card also is populated with 3 red indicator LEDs. The board is also populated with 2 sockets for electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM) modules, 7 jumpers, and 2 trimmer resistors.
The GE Panel Interface Board DS3800HPLA1B1D is also populated with a 20-pin connector. The connector is accessible by the operator when the board is installed in the drive. The benefit of easy access is that the ribbon cable can be routed properly along the interior wall of the drive. Also, when the drive is powered off, the technician can connect or disconnect the ribbon cable. Once the drive is receiving power and is processing information, do not access the inside of the drive to connect or disconnect the cable. The drive contains high-voltage current that can cause injury. A serious shock or burn can occur.
However, the red indicator LEDs are also visible when the board is installed. This can serve as a quick way to monitor the drive. When the operator notes that the LEDs are off, it means that the drive is not receiving power or no processing is taking place. Use a full feature testing device to check for the presence of power in the drive.
