Racks

The racks are numbered from 1 to 4, left to right. They are labeled as such as of August, 2011.

ATCA Crates

The ATCA crates are numbered from 1 to 4, from bottom to top. Thus ShelfMgr4 refers to the shelf manager in the top-most (large) crate.

Patch Panel

The Rack 4 patch panel is cabled to panels mounted near the work benches. These cables can carry either network or serial (RS-232) traffic.

Adding a new user

• Issue training to the user on Lab 1 use. Points to make:
  • Avoid working in the room alone
  • Get, and keep current, appropriate electrical training
  • Get a ladder if you need to get up high
    • No climbing on chairs, tables, benches, etc.
    • A spotter must be present in order to use a ladder
  • No access to stuff not part of your project
  • Stay out of the racks unless access is really needed
    • High current sources present
  • No reconfiguration of computers
  • No reconfiguration of the network
  • Keep the work area clean
  • Avoid accessing Lab1 through the middle hallway door
  • Point out Dataflow Lab 1 Confluence page and have the user go over it
• Introduce the user to Mike

• Create a computer account for the user

  For the old method, see /reg/common/tools/bin/addlabuser, etc. This is obsolete as of 1/1/2012, now that we have moved to unix-admin style maintenance. However, it may still be needed for legacy set-ups. On rdsrv100, issue: /reg/common/tools/bin/addlabuser <username> Puts user in the appropriate groups, e.g., lab-users Add --superuser to add the user to the sudo list, if necessary If this fails with a 'User not found in ou=People...' message issue: /reg/common/tools/ldap-helpers/nis2ldap Retry addlabuser

  • Add the account to the u-reg-lab1 netgroup (NIS) with a request to unix-admin
• If the user is involved with RCE development (DAT, CTK, CCI, NPA, etc.):
  • Send a request to confluence-admin to add the user to the cci-confluence-editors group and get the user CCI JIRA privileges
  • Add the user to the g-npaAFS group, if necessary
    • Needed for NPA cvs/svn access, as in, e.g., ATLAS
  • Add the user to the g-cciAFS group, if necessary

    • Needed for RCE development svn access

      pts membership g-cci pts adduser <username> g-cci

  • Add the user to the reg-lab1YP group, if necessary

    • Needed for certain Lab 1 NFS disk operations

      ypgroup exam -group reg-lab1 ypgroup adduser -group reg-lab1 -user <username>

  • Some dongles have udev rules that put the usb device into the group users

    • Add the user to the users group on the relevant host, if necessary

      sudo /usr/sbin/usermod -G users <username>

     

• Add the account to the reg-lab listserv e-mail list (see below)
  • Send an e-mail to listserv with subscribe reg-lab <user>@SLAC.Stanford.edu in the message body
  • Can also add the user by going to listserv
