At some point tonight we lost our CA connection to c1auxex (which is actually the computer at the X End and controls the ETMX, but has a Y sticker). We could telnet to it, but its puny RAM must have been overloaded with too many EPICS connections that bypassed the CArepeater. I went around and booted some machines and it seems to be back and allowing damping now. Along the way I keyed off the crate to c1auxex a couple of times.
When trying to close the rack door I saw that Charlie/Steve had illegally connected the power cable for the illuminator through the door so that it couldn't close , so I disconnected it so that they can run it properly and feel better about themselves.
Disclaimer: Steve had nothing to do with this connection. I rerouted the cable the correct way. 10-28-2013
