to be equipped with SBS controllers for TF and TTC crates
Details on the following pages

3. choice of CSC location station: YE-2 close to DAQ room
100% completed
YE+ stations will be lowered first
more time for testing
close to DAQ room
not relevant at this moment, but expected to be of importance for the CMS SliceTest
close to DCS test stand
allow near future integration
towards USCMS Slice Tests
both DAQ and HCAL preferences are relevant
HCAL’s preference not clear
the success of EMU Slice Test would be that this is not an issue: provided we have “CSC life support” any set of chambers should be configurable on a (very) short time scale.

4. CSC Life Support HV LV gas test beam CAEN PS will be hooked up
possibly adding a win-xp control PC LV
test beam LV supplies can be used
4 pairs available
gas
T-ed of the gas supply for test B

5. On-chamber electronics
all chambers on station -2 are fully installed
what chambers have skewclear cables routed
target chambers should be ready
accessibility
unable to get at CFEB for back chambers
unable to get the LV boards
cover plates can not be removed
ALCT can be reached
provided the disks are not closely packed

6. Off-chamber electronics
Peripheral Crate (PC)
mini-rack is installed
hosts max. 2 PCs
space for std. VME crate (Electronics Pool)
max. 1 per mini-rack

7. Peripheral Crate Back plane
use std. VME crate for old and previous production prototype
cooling: fans
sticks out ~10-20cm
no an issue
use new crate for new prod.-type backplane
this involves a non-standard or new power supply
new PS will not be available soon
cooling: hook up to water manifold
new production type backplane will not be available soon
use new crate with temporary fix for the PS
cooling: separate tray of fans

8. Electronics VME controller Dynatem D360 New prototype (OSU)
should come with the back plane
lack of dynatems
two new D360s are ordered
New prototype (OSU)
different ethernet connections
optical Gb
impact on software
HAL support?

9. Electronics (cont’d) TMB DMB CCB MPC: 4 TMB2004 at CERN 3 DMBs at CERN
CCB’01: one TF-prepared version at CERN
CCB’04: 2 at CERN
MPC:
1 at CERN

10. Trigger & Clock Distribution
TTCvi + TTCvx(ex)
requires dedicated 6U crate
use the new CERN/CMS standard: CAEN VME controller
two controllers will be ordered
availability?
none found so far
NIM rack
rack
modules:
scintillator trigger
discriminators, coincidence units, fan-out, HV supplies
TF trigger
ECL translator
all available from TestBeam equipment
CERN E-pool
Fibers
enough for initial TTCvx set-up
Alternative Solution
run without TTC branch and rely on CCB clock only
allows us to start e.g. timing and calibration procedures

11. DAQ Electronics DDU/DCC old/new DDU can take up to 15 inputs
initially using the old DDU
hosted in the PeripheralCrate, no need for a special crate + controller
when available use the EmuFED crate
DDU/DCC/backplane/controller
minor software effort
old/new DDU can take up to 15 inputs
some defect channels are documented
DAQ pc has Gbit ethernet card and software
previously used at TestBeam

12. TF electronics MPC TF backplane and SP MS in the PeripheralCrate
only one module at CERN
need more when adding crates
not urgent
TF backplane and SP
currently on loan to the Vienna group
should be available by the end of November’04
crate + VME controller
crate unavailable (E-Pool)
VME controller will be ordered (CAEN)
specially prepared CCB at CERN (currently on loan to Vienna group) MS
no real need for MS

13. Additional Requirements
The system should be using SP triggers as soon as possible
However, to bootstrap the system a scintillator based trigger may proof to be useful
Requirements
NIM logic and NIM HV supplies
scintillators + mounting structure
