2 Phase 1 upgrade: TwinMux & µROS 3/11/2015 I. Redondo S1D row TwinMux microROS µROS board is TwinMux HW with different FW LS2 is latest possible installation time, ROS becomes bottleneck afterwards. FW integration well advance First exercise of DT+RPC superprimitives HW preproduction being tested First 9 boards in hand Slice test infrastructure installed DAQ link testing at P5  TwinMux Installation expected YETS15-16 Schedule depends on full L1 upgrade Fallback plans require (temporally) rack space, in S1C13,S1C14

6 Working in the Gaps: MiniCrate Maintenance & Chamber HV In the absence of surprises intervention in chambers will be limited to Phi SLs ⁻ no movement of chambers, no crane MiniCrates are DT on-detector digital electronics, providing ⁻ Trigger ⁻ TDC&Readout ⁻ Slow control for itself, for analogic frontend, alignment & RPC Its aging and radiation hardness is a concern: ⁻ We will replaced them in LS3. Cannot realistically do it in LS2 (or LS4.) ⁻ meanwhile its maintenance requires long access time 3/11/2015I. Redondo

7 MiniCrates Repairs in LS1 40% of the MiniCrates were repaired ⁻ a large effort both in terms of manpower and access time ⁻ 3% DT (~5000 channels) recovered MiniCrates are complex systems with multiple failure modes ⁻ Most of them are mild, involving a small number of channels ⁻ CCB/SB/Splitter board can bring down a full chamber ⁻ Other chamber scale single point of failures for readout/trigger only exists (ROLink, SB) Concerning the aging of the system, the clock did not stop ticking at the end of run I ⁻ Actually the frequent power cycles during a shutdown brings more stress to the system than normal operating conditions radiation is not the dominant cause of failure so far. ⁻ 1.5 % of dead channels added during LS1 3/11/2015I.

Work can progress as long as access to 1 of the 12 positions, easy to orchestrate with other interventions. For logistic reasons (experts trips) request to group access in >~O(1) week time. ⁻ YE1| 2w |YB2| 5 w|YB1| 4w |YB0| 4w |YB-1| 5w |YB-2| 2w |YE-1 3/11/2015I.
