Talked with Jay briefly this morning.
We are due another 1-U 4 core (8 CPU) machine, which is one of the ones currently in the test stand. I'm hoping sometime this week I can convince Alex to help me remove it from said test stand.
The megatron machine we have is definitely going to be used in the 40m upgrade (to answer a question of Rana's from last Wednesday's meeting). Thats apparently the only machine of that class we get, so moving it to the vertex for use as the LSC or SUS vertex machine may make sense. Overall we'll have the ASS, OMC, Megatron (SUS?), along with the new 4 1-U machines, for LSC, IO, End Y and End X. We are getting 4 more IO chassis, for a total 5. ASS and OMC machine will be going without full new chassis.
Speaking of IO chassis, they are still being worked on. Still need a few cards put in and some wiring work done. I also didn't see any other adapter boards finished either. |
