About the DS3800HXPD1B1D

The GE Microprocessor Expander Board DS3800HXPD1B1D 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 Microprocessor Expander Board DS3800HXPD1B1D also is populated with 2 34-pin connectors between the retention levers. The board is also populated with 8 sockets for electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM) modules and 18 jumpers.

When you receive the replacement GE Microprocessor Expander Board DS3800HXPD1B1D, you will note that the EEPROM sockets are empty. This provides the technician the opportunity to remove the modules from the defective board being replaced. The modules are sensitive to static electricity. The static can make the code and firmware on the modules unreadable. To maintain the functionality of the modules, have on hand static protective bags into which you can place the modules after they are removed from the board. Wear a wrist strap. It causes the static to drain from your person to the grounded surface. The grounded surface is attached to the other end of the wrist strap. A clip or plug attaches the strap to the grounded surface. The grounded surface can be a metal chair leg, a metal desk top, or a metal support.

Between the module and the socket is space designed for use in removing the module. Place a screwdriver in the space and lift off the module. Place it in the bag and store in a safe and dry location. Retrieve the modules when you are ready to install them.
