Product Description

The GE IOS + Power Connect Board DS200DPCBG1AAA features two wire terminal blocks to attach a maximum of 6 signal wires. The GE IOS + Power Connect Board DS200DPCBG1AAA also is populated with 1 fuse and one toggle switch.

The fuse on the GE IOS + Power Connect Board DS200DPCBG1AAA protects the board from damage if too much current is applied to the board, even if the power surge is momentary. When the fuse is blown you can visually inspect the fuse and if the element inside the fuse is intact, the fuse is still operating. If the element is broken or missing the fuse is blown and must be replaced.  Have on hand a supply of fuses that have the same rating as the fuse on the board. You can refer to the written documentation to obtain the fuse rating or you can obtain the rating if it is printed on the fuse.

However, if the rating is not exactly the same you might damage the board by subjecting it to current that can damage the board. Before you remove power to the drive you must communicate to others that work around the drive that you plan to take the drive offline and that their productivity might be disrupted. Consult with someone who is knowledgeable with the installation of the drive to understand how power is supplied to it. The drive will have a power supply associated with it and you can either switch off the power supply or remove the fuses in it.
