About the DS3800HMPG
The GE Network Controller Board DS3800HMPG is designed for quick installation in the drive. The board features a modular connector on 1 end and retention levers on the other end. The GE Network Controller Board DS3800HMPG also is populated with:
- 2 red indicator LEDs
- 1 amber LED
- a microprocessor
- erasable programmable read-only memory (EPROM) modules
- a 34-pin connector
- 4 standoffs that enable a daughter card to be attached
- A daughter card provides additional functionality
While normally functional definable as a Network Controller Board, this DS3800HMPG printed circuit board product offering is additionally sometimes referred to in fringe General Electric Mark IV Series instructional manual materials as a CPU or Central Processing Unit Board.
DS3800HMPG Microprocessor and Catalog Number
The microprocessor embedded on the board provides the logic used to control the board operations. The microprocessor generates heat during operation so keeping the drive from overheating requires some consideration. Cool air must be available to the drive for cooling. This is a challenge because often the drive is located in a room with other drives and other powerful equipment. The steps for this are as follows:
- When you inspect the space notice if the wall on which the drive will be installed in hot to the touch
- If it is hot, the cause might be that the space on the other side of the wall is hot or equipment installed on the wall is generating heat
- To cool the wall, you can reduce the number of drives installed in the room
- You can also select a wall that is cooler to the touch for installation of the drive
The DS3800HMPG functional product number stands to serve as a primary source of DS3800HMPG Board hardware component and component specification information; coding for relevant DS3800HMPG Board details through a series of consecutive functional naming elements. For instance, the DS3800HMPG functional product number begins with the dual-functional DS3800 series tag delegating this DS3800HMPG PCB's normal Mark IV Series assembly version on top of its domestic location of original manufacture. Some of the other relevant hardware details in the DS3800HMPG functional product number include this DS3800HMPG device's HMPG functional product acronym.
