Things to look for: - Look for the bolts + insulation (box 4 out of 5) - Black tube with the slide in it - Ultracam tools - Water tubes (black pipes) - Power cables - ULTRACAM data cables - Box with cable ties - Ethernet cables Things to do: - Take out the lens cover off ultracam, check that there is no dirt, if there is, use the air blow hose or can of compressed air -- make sure whatever supply you use is clean by blowing it somewhere non-critical first - Collar to ultracam bolts (+ insulation) There is a metallic square piece attached to the bottom of ultracam to which the steel ring is attached from which the water pipes hang. Normally its left on; if not it should be with the ring in a plastic bag in the bolt box. - Bring up the chiller with the lift (the one that is white with a blue screen) - Good if you can remind ING staff *not* to place a telescope balancing weight exactly where the rack is -- this really made our job difficult this time when trying to cable up the rack. Cables that need to be attached: - Data cables: they go to red, blue, green (already there) from CCDs to SDSU - Flow sensor cable (5 m) from sensor to rack (grey colour) - 1 fiber cable (grey colour with two heads, pink and black), from SDSU to rack - Focal plane slide cable, Imedia cable that goes to the slide, from slide to imedia in the rack - Power supply (thick cable), should be away from the data cables. From ULTRACAM to the rack. _ Ethernet telescope connection, from data PC in the rack to telescope - Peltier cables (3 of them, red, blue and green labels), from each CCD to the rack - Air supply, from telescope to ULTRACAM - GPS cable, surge protector (top of the rack) - Temperature monitor (see Chiller section) - Water pipes that go from the chiller + 2 extra ones that need to be connected. Make sure that the stell-clad cable that run around the WHT do not hang down and get in contact with the rack (source of noise). Also make sure that the LN2 overflow pipe from ACAM does not hang down and touch ULTRACAM -- I had to cable tie both of these out the way. The ACAM pipe can perhaps add noise but also spills LN2 sometimes, which is not good. Chiller: - The temperature monitor should be in the rack, at the front (top level). There is an ethernet cable (short) and a power one. The power supply is connected to the row of power sockets at the back of the rack. - We put through the GPS cable and the one that goes to the chiller. This last one is connected to a sensor (short cable) in the end and then it goes into the chiller (water container). We should add water to the container, up to a certain level (e.g. where it bends). - We connect all the water pipes. It is very important that they are properly connected. If they are not the peltiers won't turn on. Once the power is on we should check that there are no water leaks. -After connecting all the cables and water pipes the telescope should be rebalanced. Allow time for this as it takes some time (and the techinicians usually leave at 3-4pm). Control room - Hard drives for the control room, they should be connected to the ultracam pc (from the back, they have two usb each) - Ultracam computer, login=observer, passwd=observer - Network (ethernet) cable from ultracam pc to cabinet (CAS2 dir, Canary, telescope 2). We connect the cable to the netgear box and then follow the cables in the ceiling up to the cabinet Booting up rack pc for first time: good idea if you can get the rack PC on quite early if ULTRACAM has not been used for a while because it might start running fsck on all disks the first time you boot, which takes 30 minutes at least, and at first gives a good impression of a dead PC.
