About the DS3800HXPD1C1D

The GE Microprocessor Expander Board DS3800HXPD1C1D 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 DS3800HXPD1C1D 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.

The 18 jumpers on the GE Microprocessor Expander Board DS3800HXPD1C1D are used by the installer to configure the board. When you receive the first board purchased from the factory, the jumpers are set to the default positions. That is, the most commonly used positions. The installation instructions describe the jumpers and how the settings influence how the board functions. The installer should consult with the operators and engineers in deciding how to use the configuration settings. The jumpers are referred to as 3-pin jumpers. The jumper fits over 2 of the jumpers and moving the jumper changes the configuration. The jumper can be over pins 1 and 2 or pins 2 and 3. A signal is produced between the covered pins which influences the configuration.

Once the jumpers are set, it is best practice to record the settings and store them in a safe place. When the board is replaced, refer to the record of the jumper settings and match the settings on the replacement board. Never use force to insert a jumper over 2 pins. It might bend the pins or break them off the board.
