2. John Coughlan CMS Week Mar 2006 www.te.rl.ac.uk/esdg/cms-fed/qa_web 1 FED Production Summary Assembly carried out in batches of ~ 50 boards ~ 350 FEDs have been manufactured. No major problems. 238 FEDs delivered to CERN (> half final tracker readout), expect ~ 300 at CERN by end of March. Need to obtain final batch of ORx and to recover from prototype FEDv1s for last FED batch.
