About the DS3800NFCD1L1E
The GE Firing Circuit Board DS3800NFCD1L1E features 1 hole in each corner for attaching with screws the board to the drive interior. The board is populated with 4 standoffs for attaching a daughter card. The daughter card provides additional processing, connectors, and features. The board is populated with multiple transistor-transistor logic devices. The GE Firing Circuit Board DS3800NFCD1L1E is also populated with 13 red indicator LEDs and 1 amber indicator LED. The board also has a socket for electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM) modules. The board is also populated with multiple jumpers and 2 34-pin connectors.
The 10-pin connector on the GE Firing Circuit Board DS3800NFCD1L1E is dedicated to connecting a daughter card. The daughter card is secured to the board with standoffs which keep the daughter card raised above the board to prevent damage to the daughter card or the board. The card also connects to a 28-pin connector between the card and the board. The card is populated on the back with a connector that fits into the 28-pin connector. To install the daughter card, first install the standoffs. They are plastic parts that you install into holes in the board. Then, align the holes in the daughter card with the standoffs and the 28-pin connector. Make sure to gently press the card into place. The card snaps over the standoffs when properly installed.
The 10-pin ribbon cable is attached to the card on 1 end. The other end terminates with a 10-pin connector. Press the ribbon cable into the connector. When it is properly installed, it locks in place with a retention tab.
