Product Description

The GE DOS DUP Processor Board DS200DMCBG1ABA contains three 26-pin connectors, one 40-pin connector, and 19 jumpers. The board also has 2 LEDs. The GE DOS DUP Processor Board DS200DMCBG1ABA is populated with 19 jumpers. Some of the jumpers are set at the factory and cannot be changed. However, some of the jumpers can be moved to meet a requirement of the site. The information that came with the original board describes the jumpers and how they change the functioning of the board. It also details which jumpers cannot be moved.

The best practice before you replace the old board is to set the jumpers on the replacement board to match the positions on the old board. Doing that enables you to configure the replacement board to operate exactly as the old board. The other requirement is for the servicer to cable the replacement board exactly like the old board. You can identify the connectors on the old board by the connector identifiers printed on the board and write tags that you can adhere to the cables. Then, disconnect the cables and reconnect them to the same connectors on the replacement board.

When you disconnect the ribbon cables from the board, use extra care that you refrain from damaging them. The damage occurs when you disconnect the cable by pulling on it from the ribbon portion of the cable. This puts tension on the wires and might cause them to pull out of the connector.
