2. Hardware and Software for Detector Projects
Lab Setup
We want to have 4 computers in the lab
2 Linux machines running SLC6 for SEABAS
One for SEABAS and FEI4B
One for USBPIX and FEI4B
2 Windows machines
One for USBPIX and ST_CONTROL for FEI3
One for USBPIX and ST_CONTROL for FEI4B

3. Hardware and Software for Detector Projects
Windows Setup
We will now do the “medium mode” install for ST_Control and compile our own binaries.
We need to install:
Microsoft Visual Studio 2008
Nokia Qt and QTW (qt widgets)
ROOT 5.26/00

4. Hardware and Software for Detector Projects
Linux
Advantages:
Allows greater access to root-level adjustments of task management and operating system functionality (Allows us to prioritize the testing program versus secondary/unnecessary tasks, so testing goes faster)
Primary OS in most research faculties as a result of the above mentioned

5. Specific Linux Version
64-bit Scientific Linux
Install TDAQ and IBLDAQ-0-0-0
Most of CERN staff use SLC5, though it is possible to use SLC6, SLC5 is recommended. We will use SLC6 as CERN will soon be using it as well.
Nomenclature:
S-L-C-#: Scientific Linux CERN, Version #

6. Minimum PC Requirments
Memory: Minimum 1024 MB (system will run with less but performance may be affected)
Processor: i686 / x86_64 with PAE support
Disk space: 6 GB (including 1 GB user data) for default setup ( 1 GB for minimal setup)

7. Linux@CERN Recommended Hardware
Three models with out-of-box readiness:
TTL TeknoPro
Dell Optiplex 7010
HP 8300 Elite
HP Compaq DC 8200 Elite
Further Information Required:
Budget constraints
Forwards capability likely to be needed (?)
PACS PC request system.
Will we simply be taking what they have in stock, or will we get to choose a new PC?
