Product Description
The GE RST Analog I/O Board DS200TCQAG2B contains four 34-pin connectors, two 40-pin connectors, and six jumpers. The board also has a set of 6 integrated LED lights. The jumpers on the GE RST Analog I/O Board DS200TCQAG2B serve a number of purposes on the board and it is important to know what jumpers you can move and how it will change the behavior of the board. Some jumpers are used during the manufacturing process for quality control. While being tested for defects, a specific jumper might be moved to test a circuit or function. Then, the jumper is moved back before being shipped. Other jumpers are for use by the customer to configure the board for a specific function or behavior. The jumpers are fully documented in the information that comes with the original board.
When you replace the board, inspect the old board and one-by-one set the jumpers on the replacement board to match the positions on the old board. The replacement board could be a later version of the original board. When improvements are designed into the new versions, you might find that jumpers are located in new positions or removed from the newer version. Other components might also be relocated or depopulated on the newer version. Information is available that describes workarounds or describes why a jumper was removed from the board. Reliability and compatibility is assured between the versions of the same model board. Product testing is performed that assures the compatibility between the versions.
