About the DS3800HSAA1T1L
The GE Dom Plus Servo Amp Board DS3800HSAA1T1L features a modular connector on 1 end and retention levers on the other end. The board is populated with a heat sink. The analog/digital converter is a component embedded on the board. The GE Dom Plus Servo Amp Board DS3800HSAA1T1L is also populated with 1 34-pin connector and 1 socket for electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM) modules. The board is also populated with 3 trimmer resistors.
A heatsink surrounds 1 component on the GE Dom Plus Servo Amp Board DS3800HSAA1T1L. While the component generates heat, the heatsink is designed to keep the component cool by drawing heat away. Free flowing air passes over the heatsink and carries off the extra heat. A requirement for the heatsinks to perform is to maintain a constant supply of air. The drive functions by drawing cool air into the air vents at the bottom of the drive. The air is heated by the components and continues to rise until it leaves the drive from the air vents at the top. If ribbon cable blocks the air vents the drive might overheat because they block the air.
Another consideration is that the room in which the drive is installed is too hot. This can occur if the room contains too many other devices that generate heat. To resolve the issue, ventilation hoods can be installed over the equipment to draw away excessive heat. The hoods also draw away dust, dirt, and oil to keep the room clean which contributes to drive operation.
