It is now believed that they must be inserted from the side of the racks. Another special feature are the shelves that hold up the boxes will be a custom design and must electrically isolate the MUX boxes from the rack. The clearances for side installation will be checked and modeled. A question arose as to the exact sequence of testing. There is discussion in the scintillator group about the fragility of shipping completed closed boxes.
Technical feasibility needs to be established.
If there is need for a complete component test before the boxes are installed at the mine, we need to specify test equipment and personnel. This is doubly true if one is putting things together there. It is hoped to resolve that next week, when real rack tests will begin in Indiana. In order to specify how much work to budget for, Aesook stated that each group should separate their work into two phases - first six months and following. LED Pulser System Phil Harris explained the pulser system status.
