Pre-commissioning• Pre-commissioning plans prior to installation
@NBI: - assemble complete detectors (FMD3 + FMD2, then FMD1)
- complete test with RCU, DDL, DATE, TTC/LTU, cooling
(but not final CAEN LV and HV)
- basic DCS panels, tested on simulated CAEN and real RCU/DCS card
@CERN (Jan-Feb 2007):
- retest as above, but with ‘final’ CAEN power supplies
• Status of pre-commissioning (@NBI)- FMD3 mechanics ~ready, FMD2 starting production
- all detector modules in house
- TTC/LTU being set up
- cooling plates in production
- DCS work starting
- complete read-out working

Electronics & Racks• Locations of racks in the cavern + drawings of rack content including rack
patch-panels and possible communication lines between racks and entry point of cables (top, bottom ?)
- Rack O13 contains one EASY 3000 crate with 48 V power supply etc
one patch panel to distribute the LV cables from 10 digitizers and 3 RCUs to 4 low voltage modules
- Rack X06 contains one SY1527 crate
one patch panel to distribute the HV cables from 70 modules
and 6 high voltage modules
• Schedule for arrival of electronics and individual rack components at CERN.- Power supply crates hopefully early 2007
- Power supply modules before August 2007 – delivery schedule unknown
- Patch panels to be mounted together with cable connectors
• Electronics commissioning
- Power supplies to be installed and commissioned together with FMD3

Detector Arrival @ CERN
Installation dates: FMD3 16-20 February 2007FMD2 07 March 2007FMD1 03-05 July 2007
• When will the detector arrive at CERN ?- before mid January 2007 (FMD3 and FMD2, FMD1 later)
• What are the dimensions of the ‘transport cradle’ that must be brought to the place of installation ? How will it be brought there?- 2 times 1x1x1 m3 by car
• How many people will participate in the installation ? - 6-8 people (physicists and technicians)
• How many days before installation will the team arrive ?- early-mid January for lab. test: 3-4 people- for installation: above + 3-4 people

Cables & Patch panels• Status of cable, fibre and connector ordering.
- C side cables on absorber done, remaining defined but cables not pulled. Fibres not pulled.
- A side ~defined, but missing final cable lengths and final patch panel designs.
• Plans for cabling, connector and cable testing activity by subgroup.- NBI: - cables on absorber and service chariot - all cable connectors
- full cable testing- CERN: - pull long cables and all fibres
• Needed patch panels and status of patch panels.- Still to be done: panels on A side (PP2, PP1, PP0)
panels in racks (LV and HV distributions)
6 October 2006 Borge S. Nielsen, Niels Bohr Institute
Installation (1)• Minimum status of services at start of installation.
- all cables and fibres ready and tested- LTU/TTC running- DAQ running- CAEN HV and EASY LV crates and ‘some’ modules delivered- preferably cooling water from TPC heat screen system
• Installation tooling provided by the subdetector group.- support for cones during assembly
• Other Infrastructure needed.- full ITS installation infrastructure
• Installation scenario – day by day.- Before installation date: install and cable RCU modules - FMD3: 3 days mechanical installation, then complete test- FMD2: 1 day mechanical installation
1 day (12/03/2007) set aside for complete test after the cable hook-up
6 October 2006 Borge S. Nielsen, Niels Bohr Institute
Installation (2)• Tests and verifications during installation for cables, fibers
and cooling lines.
- cables etc should be tested before installation
- FMD3 should be verified through to the racks and counting rooms (with DCS and DAQ)
- FMD2 cannot be cabled until TPC is in place
– ideally detector should be tested with the commissioning electronics;
Not clear what is possible with temporary cabling, power etc.
• Alignment requirements- assured at required precision by ITS installation scenario

Commissioning – summary (1)
• Test all detector modules at NBI. – Results stored in systematic fashion. Make list of repairs, send modules to CERN.
• Pre-assembly at NBI– Cables– Shielding (HF and light)– Cooling– Mechanical fit. Detectors, Honeycomb, Digitizer, beam tube support.– Noise tests– RO system w. 2 branches– Calibration pulse test– DCS control software– Monitor software, test and calibration scripts.– Check safety procedures (leakage current, auto shut off at beam injections, etc…)
• Final e-beam test at Aarhus – data taken 4-5 November– Test inner and outer digitizers with. inner and outer detectors.– S/N systematics– Rate dependence– System stability
• Limitations at NBI– Real LV and HV not available
• Final assembly at NBI - December

Commissioning – summary (2)• Detector operation at CERN in Lab. – conditions similar to NBI lab.
– (Re-) Assemble detector system after transport– Connect detectors to LV, HV, and self-generated trigger– Run with stand-alone DAQ – Operate system in lab. Measure noise, stability and rate
• Detector operation at CERN in Lab. – conditions similar to ALICE.– Connect detectors to ‘real’ LV, HV, and trigger – Establish DCS control of hardware– Run with ‘real’ external trigger (LTU/TTC) and real ALICE DAQ– Operate system in lab. Measure noise, stability and rate
• Calibration and Control procedures – Exercise scripts to calibrate (pedestals, gain) and operate detector (start/stop/reset/load) – Exercise first monitor programs– Check stability and rate performance– Check safety procedures (leakage current, auto shut off at beam injections, etc…)
• Preparation in ALICE (in pit) prior to installation– Verify all cables/connectors (long cables and local (PP-to detector) cables)– Availability of trigger signal – Availability of real HV, LV - LV situation problematic due to CAEN delivery schedule– Availability of DCS control – Availability of DAQ
• Installation (3 days for FMD3, 1 day for FMD 2, 3 Days for FMD 1)- Run all scripts repeatedly and measure noise performance for entire system in situ
(Requires HV,LV, Trigger and DAQ, partly DCS)
