This point is for NTT & 3p6 Action Log : 5/30/02 11:46:56 AM fgutierr The HP-735-100 workstation was taken fromthe NTT office at the LED building for maintanance.

Pls improve the cooling system distribution (e.g. by connecting the various elements in parallel and not in series, as it was done on WFI), so that Fiera does not complain if the temp. of the EMMI room raises a bit. Action Log : 5/31/02 10:46:13 AM psinclai The cooling of Fiera racks was potentialy adecuate but the water flow was adjusted originally by me for the normal EMMI room temp. If the room temp. raises too much or the air ventilation is stopped (as when switching off the air conditioning), the flow needs to be increased using the regulator near the wall. If the flow is not correctly adjusted, the excess of cooling can produce a very low temp. on Fiera and result in condensation inside. In anycase, the work of putting the cooling of the two chassis in parallel was done by LWE as requested, to distribute evenly the cooling power. The normal flow regulation is marked and should not be changed without our knowledge. In case the air conditioned must be swicthed off again, let us know so we can readjust the cooling flow (if the temp. alarm goes off again). Responsible : Engineering Dep.(Instrum.)

This LN2 then falls on some critical parts of the dewar. The exhaust plastic piece should be machined so that the problem does not occur. Action Log : 5/29/02 5:58:03 PM psinclai tube was reshaped as requested. Currently there is a big ice formation due to the exceptionally high humidity for many days. It should get better when humidity decreases to normal values. Notice that SUSI2 dewar does not show that much of ice formation because its LN2 consumption is lower so the exhaust of cold, evaporated N2 gas, is also lower. 5/30/02 3:52:16 PM gandreon A longer pipe is requested in order to avoid LN2 spilling over any part of EMMI. 6/12/02 6:55:17 PM apizarro A longer pipe it is in construction at the workshop. 6/13/02 3:08:01 PM gandreon A longr pipe has been installed.

No connectors, proper insulations, impecable work. This is about the 6th time that it occurs spilling liquids on the mirror and NEEDS to be done properly NOW. Action Log : 1/31/02 2:09:27 PM gandreon L Wendegass will analyze the problem this week. 2/7/02 2:40:17 PM gandreon The leak has been traced to a purger that was designed to work vertically. It will be replaced during the technical time on February 12 and 13 with a more suitable model. After accessing this area from inside the tube, it will be decided if a drain or a small tank will be installed in case of other leaks. 2/14/02 5:06:51 PM gandreon The drain was found in place and working. The insulation of the pipes has been completed or improved. Few white cloths have been left as a check in case of further occurrences of the leak. 5/23/02 4:25:18 PM gandreon White clothes should be replaced by sponges, in case of minor condensation. 5/30/02 3:55:14 PM gandreon AGI can provide info on natural sponges. 6/6/02 3:32:27 PM gandreon Sponges are in place.

Action : After a Problem Request from NTT, Anton investigated the situation of P2PP,here is the report: 11/15/01 11:29:25 aschemrl During my Nov8-15 turno, the analysis of the problem showed the implementation and configuration of jp2pp is a MESS! There are 3p6 users running NTT configurations, which in turn are running WFI jre's. It is obvious that under these conditions a more restrictive solution would take longer to implement on kila, and may not be the ideal solution. This is not an NTT problem, it affects all visiting and local astronomers. A suggestion will be made to create a jp2pp template that will be applied at the time of lsusr account creation. This means running jp2pp on Linux machines that connect to the drl9 server. This will avoid configuration interferences and single user responsibility. This means that jp2pp would be removed from kila. Aproval of this proposal will remain pending until there is a global La Silla agreement among astronom Action Log : 11/22/01 2:37:39 PM gandreon It looks like a good idea. However, his implementation requires a configuration change of Kila & offline systems. To be approved by LSO Management. 12/13/01 3:07:12 PM gandreon FGU sent an email to JME. 12/20/01 3:30:47 PM gandreon P2PP installation in Kila has been cleened up.
