Product Description
The GE RST Extended Analog I/O Board DS200TCQBG1B is populated with a programmable logic device and EPROM modules. It also has 1 OK LED that is viewable from the side, 1 50-pin connector, and 15 jumpers. When you obtain a replacement GE RST Extended Analog I/O Board DS200TCQBG1B it ships to you without erasable programmable read-only memory (EPROM) modules. The EPROM modules store the firmware and programming the logic device uses to process information. However, the EPROM modules can easily be removed from the old board and installed on the new board. Use a flat-blade screwdriver to pry the module off the socket. Use care to avoid hitting or scratching other components on the board while you remove the modules. Store the modules in a safe place until you need them. Wear a wrist strap whenever you work on the board or handle the modules. The modules are sensitive to static and the information on them can be damaged. After you remove the modules put them in a static protective bag. As added protection, touch the bag to the exterior of the drive before you take out the modules. This enables the static to seek out the grounded metal surface of the drive and exit your person and the modules.
When you install the modules in the new board, align the EPROM module with the socket and press straight down to install it. Visually inspect the connection between the module and the socket. There should be no space between them. By using the same firmware and programming instructions, you can ensure that the new board will function the same as the old board.
