Product Description
This DS200UCPBG5AFB printed circuit board is more accurately definable by its functional description as a IO Engine CPU Board, as it appears described as in original Mark V Series and General Electric instructional manual materials. The Mark V Series that this DS200UCPBG5AFB IO Engine CPU Board belongs to is a General Electric product series of Turbine Control System products and components, that utilizes the same Speedtronic technology accessed by earlier General Electric Mark Series, such as the Mark IV or Mark III. This DS200UCPBG5AFB printed circuit board or PCB for short is actually not the original IO Engine CPU Board that was manufactured by General Electric for the Mark V Series; that would be the DS200UCPBG5 parent printed circuit board missing this DS200UCPBG5AFB model's three significant product revisions.
Hardware Tips and Specifications
As with any General Electric Mark V Series circuit board offered in our inventory of new and refurbished Mark V Series products, this DS200UCPBG5AFB PCB makes use of its own series of hardware components and component specifications.The GE PC Board DS200UCPBG5AFB features one microprocessor and multiple PROM modules. It also contains 1 dual in-line memory module (DIMM) connector and 1 switch block with 7 switches. It also features 1 34-pin connector and 1 connector for attachment to another board. The DIMM contains random access memory that the microprocessor uses for storing information during operations. When you are replacing the GE PC Board DS200UCPBG5AFB you will find that the DIMM connector on the replacement board is empty. During the replacement procedure you can remove the DIMM from the old board and install it in the replacement board; to avoid breaking the DIMM, there are guidelines you must follow available in original General Electric instructional manuals.
This UCPB board features three total manually moveable hardware jumpers, which are identifiable in its assembly through the factory printing of three nomenclature labels; JP1, JP2, and JP3. While both the JP1 and JP3 jumpers made available to the assembly of this DS200UCPBG5AFB IO Engine CPU Board are considered vestigial structures only utilized for factory testing purposes, the JP2 jumper of this DS200UCPBG5AFB PCB is considered customizable, and is specifically important in the selection of 486 local bus speed. Some of the various connectors made available to the assembly of this DS200UCPBG5AFB IO Engine CPU Board include:
- The ARCNET COREBUS STCA Board Connector
- The COM1 Terminal Interface Monitor STCA Board Connector
- The J1 and J3 STCA Board Bus Connectors
- The IDE and COM2 Connectors
As you have probably noticed, all of the connectors in the assembly of this DS200UCPBG5AFB printed circuit board are described in terms of their intended applications and functionalities except for the IDE and COM2 Connectors. This is because of the fact that these two connectors go unused during normative function of the DS200UCPBG5AFB PCB, much like the JP1 and JP3 jumpers mentioned earlier.
