Calorimeter Electronics Status
Below are compiled useful information addressing the current status of the calorimeter Electronics during the installation and the commissioning phase toward the final setup. The expected final readout setup is described
here 
and is summarized in the dedicated

Missing bit -> BGA replacement. Afterwards, ECS problems appeared (March 29th, 2010) BGA has to be replaced again (could not read the checksum with the Silicon explorer). During the operation some contacts have been pulled out and the board had to be fixed before a new fpga could be soldered. Finally the board was repaired and works. |

Due to backplane problem the following FEB are currently moved with respect to their expected location.
Ecal crate #16 : FEB#12 and FEB#13 moved FROM slot 17 and 18 TO slot 18 and 19
Ecal crate #15 : FEB#13 moved FROM slot 18 TO slot 19
WARNING this slot is to be used by one LEDTSB Hcal crate #22 : FEB#14 moved FROM slot 19 TO slot 20
NO problem as it's a PIN readout FEB Comment : backplane from Ecal crate#15 and #16 need to be repared. Moving FEB affects
L0Calo.
