Product Description

The GE Field Supply Amplifier Board DS200FSAAG2ABA features 5 jumpers, one  10-pin connector, and two fuses. It is also populated with multiple test points. Along with the 10-pin connector, the GE Field Supply Amplifier Board DS200FSAAG2ABA also is populated with four 2-pin connectors and so the board can be connected to multiple cables that must be disconnected and reconnected during the replacement. To avoid costly errors that might lead to increased downtime for the drive, and to make the replacement fast and easy, write on lengths of tape the identifier for the connector to which the cable is connected. Then, attach the tape to the cables. Only then should you disconnect the cables from the board. When you are ready to reconnect the cables, locate the connectors using the identifier and reconnect the cables.

When you are disconnecting the cables follow some guidelines to prevent damage. Only grasp the cables by the connector end to remove it. If you pull from the cable portion it puts stress on the cable and might damage the cable by pulling out the wires. This is especially true of ribbon cables because the multiple wires are very fine and the connection from the ribbon to the connector is not well supported. When you reconnect them make sure the cables are fully seated in the connector so that all signals are able to pass through to the board. If a connector has retention clips to hold the board in place, make sure they are engaged.
