DS200ACNAG1

Product Description

The GE Attached Resource Computer Network (ARCNET) Board DS200ACNAG1  uses the Attached Resource Computer Network (ARCNET) protocol for LAN communications. It features two connectors for LAN communications and one  6-pin connector.  Any board you add or replace in the drive must be treated with care to prevent static from harming the board or the drive before you install it. Static can build up on your body and on the board. It can build up if you walk around with the board if it isn’t in the static protective bag in which you received the board. This is especially the case in cool and dry weather.  The best protection is to leave the board in the box until you need it and don’t open the bag unless necessary.

However, when you receive the box you will find a shipping label on the outside. Note the model number printed on the label and verify that it matches what you ordered. As a final verification, use a sharp edged device to open the security tape. With the same sharp edged device, open the static bag. When you open the bag, don’t cut into the board or otherwise damage the board. The model number is printed on one edge of the board. Without removing the board or touching the board, read the model number and verify that it is the board you ordered.

Close the lid on the box and put it is a safe location where only authorised individuals can access it. This prevents accidental damage or contamination from static build up.
