CLBv2 Planning: Production of 6 prototypes -> December st Pre-serie 50 units -> April 2014 (following with the current planning) (Need to purchase and by December 2013) (Need to purchase 50 FPGA by January > By then has to be selected the type of FPGA to use (325T-2, 160T-2 or 160T-1. If not clear yet the 325T-2 is the safest choose) Space optimization is not an issue at this stage. 2nd Pre-serie 50 units -> September 2014 (July in the current planning) (Need to purchase and by March 2014) (Need to purchase 50 FPGA by April 2014) Full production 640 units -> November 2014 (This task was not included in the electronics planning) (640 = 31 * % spare) How to fit this planning with the tender to be launch next month? 1 st Pre-serie outside the tender 2 nd and full production batches on it, if possible

Connectors: MWxwUHNINFZXbWd6U3c&usp=drive_web#gid=0 Good idea to order all the Octopusv3 and CLBv2 connectors already (outside the tender in the case of the CLBv2) -> I will propose it to the SC The most urgent need at the moment is to place an order by December 2013 for at least: FPGA: 50 FPGAs by January 2014 (outside the tender) 50 FPGAs by April 2014 (to be included in the tender?) 640 FPGAs by June 2014

In the tender documentation (November 2013) will not be possible to specify which FPGA to use. We have already the XILINX FPGA price list: The prices provided by XILINX are the followings : XC7K325T-2FBG676C (Price protos 794 USD) - Step 1: de 1 a 100 pcs: 600 USD - Step 2: de 101 a 600 pcs: 490 USD - Step 3: de 601 a 1600 pcs: 375 USD = 740 FPGAS = 100 * * * 375 = USD XC7K160T-1FBG676C (Price protos 176 USD ) - Step 1: de 1 a 100 pcs: 160 USD - Step 2: de 101 a 600: 137 USD - Step 3: de 601 a 1600 pcs: 127 USD = 740 FPGAS = 100 * * * 127 = USD XC7K160T-2FBG676C (Price protos 212 USD ) - Step 1: de 1 a 100 pcs: 195 USD - Step 2: de 101 a 600: 162 USD - Step 3: de 601 a 1600 pcs: 150 USD = 740 FPGAS = 100 * * * 127 = USD Could we add conditional clauses to the tender? Or should the FPGA be purchased outside the tender? (Action: I will add this info to an excel file in googledocs)

Switch at the base of the D.U. 1.- Modification of the switch (industrial components) -> Same behaviour as current switch (for testing the CLBv2 the current switch can be used) Deadline -> Need to be ready by the integration of the 1 st D.U. (November 2014)? 2.- Modification of the Base Container to allocate the switch ports switch at the base of the D.U Can be skipped with D.U. of 16 nodes 10 GB Switch on the on-shore station Dead line -> Needed by connection of the first D.U.? Spring 2015? Possibility to test CLBv2 with 1 GB Switch on the on-shore station
