Rack Layout in M124 for the Level 1.5 Calorimeter Trigger ------------------------------------------------------------- Rev. 24-FEB-1994 Measured the current amount of space available for the L15 CAl Trig. It is about 53 3/4". This is about 30.7 U. It is integer U at the top and fractional U at the bottom where it meets Norm Amos's Main Ring Veto stuff. Each of the two L15 Cal Trig VME crates are 9U (i.e. 15 3/4") plus a 1U (i.e. 1 3/4") fan tray. Thus both L15 Cal Trig VME crates plus their fan trays take up 20U total (i.e. 35"). This leaves about 18 3/4" (about 10.7U) for the following: Card file for CRC, CRC power supplies, vertical air in and out of the top L15CT crate, vertical air in and out of the bottom L15CT carte, radiator top crate, radiator bottom crate. Draft Rack Layout ----------------- Shea Boxes (Level 1 Voltage Monitoring, M124 control) M124 RMI M124 Power Control and Distribution Air Outlet 1U \ \ Top Crate 9U | \ Fan Tray 1U | = 13U | Radiator 1U | | Air Inlet 1U / | | Card File | = 30.7 U | Air Outlet 1U \ | Bottom Crate 9U | | Fan Tray 1U | = 13U | Radiator 1U | / Air Inlet 1U / / Norm Amos temporary installation of the MR Active Veto This leaves 4U for the Card File. Is this enough? 4U is 7 inches. In this card file we need at least 4 x CRC, 1 x MTG, 2 x spare slots. this is a total of 7 slots or 4.9 inches (card spacing is 0.7 inches). Note that the Power Supply for the Card File is missing from the above rack layout. The power supply requirements for the cards in this card file are: per MTG: +5 Volts at 9.1 Amps, -5.2 Volts at 3.3 Amps per CRC: +5 Volts at 3.8 Amps, -2 Volts at 0.2 Amps, -4.5 Volts at 1.1 Amps Thus for: 1x MTG and 4x CRC it will require a total of: Total: +5.0 Volts at 24.3 Amps, -2.0 Volts at 0.8 Amps, -4.5 Volts at 4.4 Amps, -5.2 Volts at 3.3 Amps Thus we could use one of the 50 Amp bricks for +5 and three of the 12 Amp brick for -2, -4.5 and -5.2 Note that if this power supply is build in one of our normal power pans then it will fit in the space that Norm Amos is temporarily using for the Main Ring Active Veto.
