Dec 7, 1999D0 Dir Review Inst/Com Barrel and disk hookup at DAB p Hookup of cooling system immediately p Run coolant above dewpoint, so no damage to detectors. Procedure verified at silicon facility p Starting 9/26/00, 5 weeks allocated for check out of silicon detector p 1.5 weeks allocated for cabling each detector end. Note, read out has HDI-enable line, therefore, system can be fully powered at hookup time, thus instant hdi checkout. Procedure should be developed at silicon facility during full barrel/disk tests p Complete Barrel and F disk hookup in 3 weeks. »Assuming 7days/week, 12hrs/day, this gives ~20 mins of debugging time per hdi p Two additional weeks for debugging complete barrel and F disk assembly. Hookup of H disks in parallel.

Dec 7, 1999D0 Dir Review Inst/Com Summary p Read out system will be verified continuously. Current level of data integrity for single hdi would be adequate. p Partial barrel with cosmic ray data taking first step to final system configuration p All system components will be exercised at the silicon facility and procedures developed for DAB hookup and commissioning p Many DAQ components exist already in stand alone form, but are not integrated. p All full assemblies will have been read out at the silicon facility before installation. Development of procedures at facility crucial. 4 Schedule is tight but feasible
