Tim Abbott & Brenna Flaugher, CTIO Integration Meeting 7 Action Items 11.Cables: OPEN a)Steve, Dave and Gale to determine if the cables be continuous from the Coude Room control racks and computers to the PF cage or should they have breaks to make installation easier (possible?) If so where? b)CTIO to document how will the cables be handled. Agree with Fermilab on a date for a review to determine the cables will not be damaged during the installation and how they will be tested after installation. c)CTIO to determine which if any can be installed and tested Before the shutdown for DECam installation? 2008 Nov 20
