• Planning▫ 1/year (stated in “Regles Générales

d’Explotation LHC”)▫ OK 9 weeks of Xmas Break▫ Limiting other activities▫ Very important before start of the LHC

• Constraints▫ Reduced availability of access point▫ Dependencies with equipment groups▫ DSO tests (2 day, before restart)


safety and availability• Impact if shutdown moves to 2013

▫ During Xmas Break

• Improvement of video system▫ Avoid image freezing▫ Improve fluidity of images Install encoders, review

archiving architecture (PAD)

10


• Planning▫ Long Shutdown▫ Several months

• Constraints▫ Reduced availability of access point▫ Video: migration all at the same time▫ Network: design phase in

collaboration with IT, work mainly by IT

• Potential Risks (if not done)▫ -


• Relocation of LACS racks▫ UJ56, UJ76

• Displacement of door▫ UJ561=YCPY01

Consolidation - AccessR2E effects on Access

• Planning▫ Long Shutdown▫ Several weeks/site

• Constraints▫ Dependencies with EL and IT▫ 3 days testing/site (no access on

concerned octant)

• Potential Risks (if not done)▫ Increase of latent faults, reduce

safety and availability

• Impact if shutdown moves to 2013▫ Partial implementation
