DS200UCIBG1A

Product Description

The GE UC2000 Motherboard DS200UCIBG1A features one microprocessor and multiple programmable read only memory (PROM) modules. It also contains 1 block of 10 LEDs and 1 50-pin connector. The GE UC2000 Motherboard DS200UCIBG1A also is populated with 1 connector to support the attachment of other boards and 2 3-pin connectors. The GE UC2000 Motherboard DS200UCIBG1A also supports a solid state drive (SSD) integrated on the board. It provides mass storage capabilities. The SDD provides the capacity to store a maximum of 21.4 MB of information. Solid state drives provide many advantages over other storage technologies. They contain no moving parts so that break down is less common. This is important because of the heated environment found inside of a drive cabinet. Also if the SSD is defective, the board must be replaced.  Another advantage is that they are smaller and require less voltage to power them. Another advantage is that access to them is faster. That is, they can be written to and read from quickly. When you are planning to install the replacement drive, you must download the information stored on the SSD drive on the defective board. Then, copy the contents to the SSD on the replacement board.

The PROM modules store the programming instructions and other firmware the microprocessor uses for processing information. The PROM modules are erasable and so if updates are available, the firmware can be updated. However, when you replace the board, you can simple remove the PROM modules from the sockets and install them in the sockets on the replacement board.
