About the DS3800HSAA1U1J
The GE Dom Plus Servo Amp Board DS3800HSAA1U1J 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 DS3800HSAA1U1J 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.
The GE Dom Plus Servo Amp Board DS3800HSAA1U1J that is installed in the drive might be an early version of the board. The board is updated with the latest problem fixes and improvements. The improvement can encompass changes to the hardware components and updates to the circuits on the board. This can result in a newer version of the board having a different appearance. Components might be located in different locations or the components might look different or have a different shape.
Despite the differences, compatibility between the different versions of the same board is assured. This means that you can remove an older version and install a newer version and it will provide the same processing function. This is due to the extensive product testing performed to ensure compatibility.
Because the board is equipped with a heatsink to remove heat from a component, you must make sure that the board can remove heat before it builds up in the drive. Make sure cables are routed on the outer edge of the drive interior.
