DS3800HVDB1J1F

Product Description

The GE Video Driver Board DS3800HVDB1J1F 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 Video Driver Board DS3800HVDB1J1F also is populated with 1 20-pin connector between the retention levers. The board is also populated with multiple erasable programmable read-only memory (EPROM) modules and 15 jumpers.

Once you have removed the GE Video Driver Board DS3800HVDB1J1F from the interior of the drive and placed it on a clean and static-protected surface, there are several tasks to complete to prepare the replacement board.

If you haven’t already done so, remove the 20-pin ribbon cable from the connector. Since it has retention levers, first swing the levers free from the ribbon cable connector. Swing 1 lever at a time free from the connector. Then, hold the 20-pin connector and pull it out of the connector. Notice how the ribbon cable is routed inside the drive. When you install the new board, use the same cable routing. This will help maintain the free flow of air that removes the hot air from the drive.

Without proper air flow, the heat can build up and lead to an overheat condition. If the temperature reaches above a predetermined threshold, the drive will automatically turn off. Heat build up can also damage components and cause intermittent processing errors. It can also lead to early component failures. That is, the components need replacement before the expected service lifetime.
