Racks in cavern

Rack distribution on the Balcony:

A platform on the RB84 side of the cavern next to the Rich1 and the magnet will be build. This platform, so called balcony, is an interesting location to install electronics racks and power supplies for the detectors next to it like the Velo, the Rich1 and the trigger tracker. From the simulations, it seems that the radiation level and the magnetic stray field on this balcony is quite limited compared to other places where electronics will have to be located (side of the muon chambers and top of the calorimeter).
The balcony can receive a maximum of 6 standard 52U high racks.

Rack wizard tool:

A "database viewer" called "rack wizard" is now available to see the rack layout in the counting house. This rack wizard tool allows the users to enter and place all equipment that will take place in the racks and to link those equipments with cables. For the moment, it is still in a final development phase and the users can only use the rack wizard to view the rack layout.

For this, Java 1.4.2 or later must be installed on your computer: https://oraweb.cern.ch/pls/lhcbintegration/docs/EMDH.html (log in as “read only”)

For more information on rack wizard, the LHC group has made two interesting EDMS documents:
