Currently specific for SLAC IS demonstrator:
4x 2x Optoboard V2.1 are housed in one Optobox. We have 1 v4 optoboard. This Optobox is housed in a Test-Optopanel.
We have 2 FELIX servers in B84 EPP lab, felix (running Centos7) and felix2 (running Alma Linux). The felix server has older versions of the optoboard software, whereas felix2 is brought up with the latest software and firmware releases. felix2 has to be cold rebooted, warm reboot will hang. The issue may be due to ethernet port being shared between the host and IPMI board.
Interfaces:
Please refer to the Bern Interface Document here. All the QC connectors of the Optoboard System is explained there.
