Control board for driving load of image forming apparatus

A control board configured to be mountable to a first image forming apparatus and to a second image forming apparatus of a type different from a type of the first image forming apparatus, the first image forming apparatus including a first load, the second image forming apparatus including a second load having a function different from a function of the first load, the control board comprising:

• a common connector to which the first load is to be connected in a case where the control board is mounted to the first image forming apparatus, and to which the second load is to be connected in a case where the control board is mounted to the second image forming apparatus;
• a common drive circuit configured to drive the first load via the common connector in a case where the control board is mounted to the first image forming apparatus, and configured to drive the second load via the common connector in a case where the control board is mounted to the second image forming apparatus;
• and
• at least one processor configured to:
• acquire configuration information related to an image forming apparatus to which the control board is mounted;
• control the common drive circuit to drive the first load based on the configuration information in a case where the control board is mounted to the first image forming apparatus;
• and
• control the common drive circuit to drive the second load based on the configuration information in a case where the control board is mounted to the second image forming apparatus.
