Product Q&A
Q: Is the SDCS-CON-4 interchangeable with the SDCS-CON-2? A: No, while they serve similar roles, the SDCS-CON-4 features updated processing capabilities and is specific to the DCS500/600 hardware architecture.
Q: Does this board include the firmware upon purchase? A: Replacement boards are often blank; the specific drive firmware must be loaded or the EPROM chips must be transferred from the old board.
Q: What is the significance of the 3ADT313900R1501 part number? A: This is the definitive global ID for the SDCS-CON-4 assembly used for ordering and hardware compatibility checks.
