- Work on the platform in the Hall continues. The opening between the cart rails is not so wide, it will be difficult to cable the bottom of the FDC. Eugene: can't we lift the FDC during the cabling then put it back on rails? Will wait for Bill to answer, but one likely problem is the surveying that has to be done without cables. It was not clear how so many FDC cables will run below the platform perpendicular to the many trays there below the racks: the sides of these cable trays are very close to the platform.

- Pictures linked above show the current status of the FDC platform in the Hall. The first cart has been installed on the platform and the survey people aligned the rails inside BCAL with the rails on this cart.

- Fernando wanted to have a list of people that will work on the FDC cabling so that they can be trained in advance. Vlad, Lubomir, and Beni are the first in the cable list. Casey and Tina were assumed, as well, but according to Fernando they will be busy with Tom for at least the next two month. There will be also three people from FEL helping with the cabling. Vlad and Lubomir know how to connect the LV cables (there's schematic, but it's difficult to find the connectors on the detector) and only the LV connections will take at least a week. Beni: we can test the LV connection right away by looking at the current. Fernando: is it possible to connect the LV cables in advance to the FDC? Possibly, but installing/re-installing the skin will be more difficult, moving the FDC to another cart will also be difficult, and there's not enough space in 126 around the FDC. Fernando is concerned that it is not clear yet where the control equipment will be installed.

- We know now that the FDC during the installation can stay no more than 5-6 feet from the magnet. This space will be used by BCAL people to work there simultaneously  with us; need to coordinate all the work with them. The watter cooling system they use for BCAL will not be done before we start cabling and will be tested while FDC is there.
