3. Hardware test preparation
Critical systems:

BE-RF: All the low level RF system will have to be re-tested because many cables have been touched/broken/removed.
BE-BI: BTMS new electronics; In addition BBQ system because cables have been removed between BAT and BOR. Some BTVs have to be retested (Cable removed and some of other cables not working correctly)
BE-CO+BE-OP: Oasis signal commissioning (delayed by 2 weeks -> Repowering and Decondamnation).
TE-MPE: From 13/03 to 17/03 -> WIC Software upgrade delayed because of Repowering task.
Prerequisites:
