About the DS3800HVDB1J1F
This specific DS3800HVDB1J1F printed circuit board product offering from General Electric was originally devised and produced to exist specifically as a Video Driver Board within the automated drive assembly of the trusted automated industrial brand's Mark IV Turbine Control System Series. With this being the case, it is important to consider the fact that the Mark IV Series that this DS3800HVDB1J1F device belongs to exists as a functionally-obsolete legacy General Electric product series that was discontinued at some point in the many years beyond its initial release due to a manufacturer-identified series-wide functional obsolescence. With this being true, this DS3800HVDB1J1F printed circuit board or PCB for short's greater Mark IV Turbine Control System Series is still able to attract quite the consistent level of demand on its greater general automated industrial marketplace as it is one of the final-developed GE Mark Series to make use of the patented Speedtronic control system technology first seen with the primary advent of the Mark I Series way back in the later 1960s. This DS3800HVDB1J1F PCB's Mark IV Series did not quite reach the far-reaching functionality of the soon-to-come Mark VI Turbine Control System Series, as the Mark VI's applications were expanded to include wind turbine management system applications.
Hardware Tips and Specifications
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.
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.

While the various installation preparation requirements for this DS3800HVDB1J1F product are certainly important to know, their placement on this DS3800HVDB1J1F personalized product page here is truly more reminiscent of the Mark IV Series' lack of originally-printed instructional manual materials online than it is of their true relative importance to the DS3800HVDB1J1F Board itself. With this lack of information being true, the DS3800HVDB1J1F functional product number itself stands to serve as a decently-strong source of DS3800HVDB1J1F Board hardware component and component specification information, as it codes for a number of relevant DS3800HVDB1J1F Board hardware details through a series of consecutive functional naming segments. For instance, the DS3800HVDB1J1F functional product number begins with the dual-functional DS3800 series tag describing both this DS3800HVDB1J1F product's domestic original manufacture location on top of its normal Mark IV Series assembly version. Some of the other relevant hardware details revealed through use of the DS3800HVDB1J1F functional product number include this DS3800HVDB1J1F PCB's:
