Product Description
The GE Power Supply DC Input Board model DS200TCPSG1ARE contains only one 16-pin connector, and only one 9-pin connector. There are also several integrated test points. The GE Power Supply DC Input Board DS200TCPSG1ARE also is populated with 3 replaceable fuses that protect circuits on the board. Because the fuses are replaceable there are some factors to consider before you replace a fuse. The fuses are secured to the board with clamps that also enable an electric current through the fuse. When more current than the circuit can safely use is introduced to the circuit, the element in the fuse blows which stops the current from running through the circuit and damaging the board.
If you suspect that the board is not performing as you expect, you can open the cabinet door, find the board, and examine the fuses. When you have the cabinet door open and the drive is still receiving electric power, do not touch any components because of the safety hazard posed by the high-voltage electricity.
Before you start the procedure to replace the fuse, shut off the power to the drive. A qualified servicer will have the knowledge of how the drive was installed and how the drive receives electric power. Often a power supply is attached to the drive which provides the drive with DC power. To shut off the power, remove the fuses to disable the power supply. Next, to verify that no power is supplied to the drive, test the drive for power.
