Questions & Answers (Q&A)
What is the difference between part number 381-101099 and 382-088945? Typically, 381-101099 refers to the complete top-level assembly, while 382-088945 may refer to the raw PCB or a specific circuit revision used within that assembly. They are generally searched for together to ensure exact matching.
Can this board be repaired if a component fails? Due to the multilayer design and marine safety certifications, component-level repair is often discouraged. Replacing the entire module is recommended to maintain system reliability and certification standards.
Is this card “Plug-and-Play”? While it is hardware-compatible with specific racks, it usually requires system-level configuration or addressing through the Kongsberg software interface to be recognized by the network.
How should the board be stored when not in use? Store the card in an anti-static moisture-barrier bag within a climate-controlled environment to prevent oxidation of the gold-plated edge connectors.
