DS200TCCBG8BED

Product Description

The GE I/O TC2000 Analog Board DS200TCCBG8BED features one 80196 microprocessor and multiple PROM modules. It also contains one LED and 2 50-pin connectors. The LED is visible from the side view of the board. The IDs for the 50-pin connectors are JCC and JDD. The microprocessor is a 16-bit microprocessor and is used to manage the operations of the board. The PROM modules are installed in sockets on the board which enable the servicer to remove the modules or install them with use of a hand tool. The PROM modules contain firmware and programming instructions that control the microprocessor. The modules are erasable which means that updates can be applied to them. The updates can be downloaded from a web site and applied to the module. The replacement module comes without PROM modules installed. This allows the installer to easily move the PROM modules from the old board to the replacement. In that way, the firmware is the same which ensures that the microprocessor will behave the same when the drive is restarted.

Proper guidelines for ESD must be followed due to the fact that the PROM modules are damaged by static. That is, the memory can be corrupted or erased by static. To prevent that, wear a wrist strap at all times when you install the replacement board. One end of the wrist strap is attached to the arm or wrist of the installer. The other end is clipped to a metal surface that is clear of paint or other coverings.
