DS200SIOBH1A

Product Description

The GE I/O Control Board DS200SIOBH1A features twenty jumpers and 3 switch blocks with 6 switches in each block for a total of 18 switches. It is also populated with one LED light and one 40-pin connector. Some of the connectors on the GE I/O Control Board DS200SIOBH1A are able to be synced up and connected to with ribbon cables. The ribbon cables carry multiple small wires that are used for signals that are transmitted from the board to other components in the drive. Other wires in the ribbon cable carry signals that are received by the board for processing. It is vital that the ribbon cable stay in good condition so that the signals can be carried. To do that you must follow some guidelines. If you attempt to pull out the ribbon cable by holding the ribbon portion of the cable you might break the connection between the ribbon and the plastic connector. The best practice is to use one hand to firmly grip the plastic connector and firmly pull it out of the connector on the board.

You must notice how the cable is routed inside the drive because the signals carried by it can be subject to interference by electrical currents. By routing the cable away from cables carrying current you can prevent interference. Cable routing can also block the proper air flow that is important for cooling. The components in the drive generate heat and air flow is used to carry away the heat.
