Subject: rack reshuffle proposal for CDS upgrade 

@tega This looks great, thank you for putting this together.  The rack drawing in particular is great.  Two notes:

  1. In "1X6 - proposed" I would move the "PEM AA + ADC Adapter" down lower in the rack, maybe where "Old FB + JetStor" are, after removing those units since they're no longer needed.  That would keep all the timing stuff together at the top without any other random stuff in between them.  If we can't yet remove Old FB and the JetStor then I would move the VME GPS/Timing chassis up a couple units to make room for the PEM module between the VME chassis and FB1.
  2. We'll eventually want to move FB1 and Megatron into 1X7, since it seems like there will be room there.  That will put all the computers into one rack, which will be very nice.  FB1 should also be on the KVM switch as well.

I think most of this work can be done with very little downtime.
