D1. M Assembly Tower
The height of each floor in M Assembly Tower is shown in Figure D1-1, and the floor plans of 8th and9th in M Assembly Tower are shown in Figure D1-2.
Figure D1-3 shows the positional relation between the LV coordinate system and the launch facilities.
Adjustment of clocking is necessary if PL antenna test is carried out at the launch site.

D2. Umbilical for PL(1) Umbilical system diagram in launch site
A PL, when placed in Clean Room (CR) or Clean Booth (CB) in M Assembly Building, M AssemblyTower or on Launching Pad, is accessible from PL control room in Epsilon Control Center (ECC),
Check-Out Room next to CR in M Assembly building, and M Control Center. (These facilities aredescribed in Chapter 5.)
The diagram of PL system harness at the launch site including Electrical Ground Support Equipment(EGSE) and its details are shown in Figure D2-1 and Figure D2-2, respectively.
(2) I/F BOX connector
The identification and part number of each I/F BOX connector linked to EGSE are shown in Table
D2-1.
(3) SA-BOX connector
The identification and part number of each SA or I/F BOX connector linked to LV are shown in Table
D2-2.
(4) Connector pin assignment
The umbilical connector pin assignment for PL is shown in Figures D2-3 and D2-4.
