Product Description
The GE Line Protection Board DS2020LPPA341A features 7 jumpers and 2 terminal blocks with 3 terminals on each. The jumpers are identified as JP1 through JP7. The GE Line Protection Board DS2020LPPA341A also contains test points. The board is installed on standoffs on another component of the drive. The board is 3.5 inches by 7 inches and the screw holes in each corner are made to align with the standoffs.
The GE Line Protection Board DS2020LPPA341A is a daughter card to the other component and provides valuable processing functionality. The signal wires that connect the board come directly from the other component. Some of the signal wires transmit signals to the component while other signal wires receive information from the component. The board processes the signals from the components and transmits the resulting signals back to the component.
The 40-pin connector attaches to a ribbon cable that connects the board to other functional areas of the drive. Before you remove the old board, notice how the ribbon cable is routed in the interior of the drive. It is routed a particular way to lessen the opportunity for interference with power cables in the drive. The power cables can corrupt the signals. The ribbon cable is routed to separate the signal cable and the power cables. When you install the replacement board, rout the ribbon cable following the same route. Another factor is that the ribbon cable is routed to allow air to flow freely inside the drive and not block air vents or block air from reaching components.
