About the DS200TCQBG1AFB
The DS200TCQBG1AFB is a component-dense board, given its highly-specific intended Mark V Series functionality. It has been drilled at each corner to allow the board to be mounted within the rack system; each of theses factory-drilled installation holes have been insulated in observance of potentially-present dangerous surface voltages. The edges are marked to help with alignment/location and carry the board ID, the GE logo, and several codes to help with proper wiring. Other DS200TCQBG1AFB board components include:
- multiple resistor network arrays
- resistors
- FPGAs (field-programmable gate arrays)
- other integrated circuits
- capacitors
- diodes
- heat sinks
- several jumper pins
- several vertical pin connectors
- plug connectors
The majority of those connectors are located along the bottom board edge and are used for ribbon cables to connect the board to the drive. Since ribbon cables can be easily damaged during mishandling, make sure to hold the cable only by the connector when disconnecting it from the board, and to align it carefully during reconnection. Jumpers are located across the board’s surface rather than being constrained to a single location; these jumpers allow circuits on the board to be individually configured. Review associated manuals for information on jumper pin settings. When replacing any board within your system, it is best to duplicate pin settings from your previous board.
DS200TCQBG1AFB Personalized Product Number
The DS200TCQBG1AFB functional product number itself is a strong source of hardware component and specification information for this DS200 series PCB. The DS200TCQBG1AFB functional product number begins with the DS200 series tag detailing this DS200TCQBG1AFB PCB's normal Mark V Series assembly and domestic location of original manufacture. This series tag is followed in the DS200TCQBG1AFB functional product number by the TCQB functional acronym, which was created to exist as a convenient shortened promotional and conversational alternative to the lengthy DS200TCQBG1AFB product number. This TCQB functional acronym is followed by another dual-functional element in the DS200TCQBG1AFB product number; the G1 series grouping tag informing of this DS200TCQBG1AFB PCB's normal style of PCB protective coating and group one Mark V Series product grouping. The final three alphanumeric digits in the DS200TCQBG1AFB functional product number are reminiscent of this DS200TCQBG1AFB PCB's fully-used three-fold product revision history.
