Dedicated production testing crate
(green crate)
When you enter the lab from the corridor, the green crate is located on
the first of the three testbenches with crates on them.
The green crate shares the testbench with the computer daffodil.
Daffodil should be connected via an optical fiber to the SBS of the
green crate.
Also located on the test bench are three
cables with 68 pin connectors on each side.
They will be needed in some of the tests.
The green crate is outfitted with
- 1 CCC, currently (status July 2004) Rev C with
barcode 3101110517
- 6 (7) RevB RCs, no barcode
- 6 (7) EIC Rev C with bar codes (status July
2004):
- 1 JSC Rev A
==>> The CCC has to
be plugged in at all times, the crate cannot be operated without it.
Switch SW32 on the CCC needs to be in
the "up" position.
After power up, the LED D2 should be on.
==>> The other cards are plugged in/taken out depending on
the test in question.
RCs not needed in a test should be left
in the crate, but not plugged into the crate backplane.
If you need to take EICs out of the crate, store them in an appropriate
place. A wooden "crate" sitting on a shelf close to the green crate is
reserved for this purpose.
==>> Use the levers at the top and bottom of each card to plug
in/take out a card.
Attention, the lower JSC lever is
non-standard.
==>> The crate side with the 7 RC slots is the back of the crate.
RC slot0 is the rightmost slot.
The crate side with the CCC, the EICs
and the JSC is the front.
The leftmost slot is occupied by the CCC, followed by EIC slots 0, 1, 2, 3, then the JSC
slot followed by EIC slots 5 and 6.
==>>The JSC can be
operated properly only in one single slot in the front part of the crate.
This slot is marked with green
permanent marker.
Due to space contraints, the EIC to the right of the JSC should be one
with the ground stubs on its back being short enough that they don't
interfer with the JSC when pushing in or pulling out either of the cards.
==>> In order to switch the crate
power on, use the switch on the power strip lying on the
workbench next to the crate.
IMPORTANT:
Always make sure the crate power is switched off when you plug in or
take out a card.
The backplane carries 48V on some of its lines, enough to fry a card !

and how it relates to the L1 Calo trigger algorithms, see Sridhara's overview talk
of Sept. 2003.

These shell scripts are in ~cmslab/RCTtest.
They have to be run
- from the cmslab account
- on either of the 5 machines connected to an SBS: allium, clover, daffodil, mum or vai.
Each of them produces a log file that is stored in /afs/hep.wisc.edu/RCTlog/$HOST,
where HOST can be allium, clover, daffodil, mum or vai.

Notes:
==>> Oct 2004: Board problem found on all RCs with PCB number
1704, all in all 67 (68?) cards.
Problem visible on U14 and U190 (RC schematics cmd_ctrl page) - In 100%
of the cases RST_ERR6 tied to Vcc (+5V), sometims also visible as
RST_ERR0 tied to Vcc.
Traced back to problem in etching mask visible under X-ray. In
fact, scratch in mask was seen by operator in board validation at
vendor, of 34 boards it is known that after this diagnosis they were
erraneously marked as ok, rest unclear.
The RC boards with PCB number 1704 were the last to be produced and
they were all produced at the same date.

Notes:
==>> Addition to the testing procedure on July 29 2004. Affects
EIC TEST 6. In the amended version, additional data paths related to the
top/bottom sharing are tested on the card. The vmedia script was updated
(from eiso_backplane_slot2.txt to eiso_data_paths.txt, likewise the
checklist of test 6.
For all EICs validated before July 29 2004, these additional data paths
were tested on July 29 2004.
==>> 8/18/04: Additional tests for EICs for which the VME mod and
the mod adding the axial capacitor to the 48 V line are done after the
EIC was in principle fully validated:
* Repeat Test 1 - VME access test
* Repeat Test 3 - Write/read data to/from LUTs
When these two additional tests are successful, the EIC mods are
considered validated.

Notes:
==>> 8/18/04: Change in definition of standard tests for CCC
For CCC tests 3, 4, 5, 9 added that relative phases have to be checked
for BX0
Added standard test: Test 12 - Input/output connectors

Notes:
==> Starting with Rev. B, the naming convention for the
