1 \section{Integration Procedures}
2 \label{sec:Procedures}
3 TIB and TID have different integration procedures, each one being optimised
4 for the geometry and the best installation and test logical sequence.
5 In this section the steps done to assembly a TIB shell and a TID
6 ring will be described also mentioning the tests performed in between and
7 described in detail in section~\ref{sec:Tests}.
8
9 The integration process starts from the basic mechanical structure
10 already equipped with cooling pipes and the module support ledges
11 and fully qualified with respect to the precision mounting of the
12 mechanical parts and cooling performances.
13
14 \subsection{TIB Integration Procedures}
15
16 The shell is fixed, with the cylinder axis horizontal, onto an
17 integration bench using an aluminum frame to minimize the mechanical
18 stresses applied to the carbon fibre mechanical structure.
19 The bench allows the shell to be rotated around the cylinder
20 axis and is also know as ``roaster''. All the internal and external strings can be
21 positioned in an optimal way for access in a fast, practical and safe way.
22
23 The shell supporting structure also holds a system consisting of plastic
24 trays to safely arrange the AOH fibres. To easily identify each string a bar code is temporarily stick on the
25 structure.\\
26 %The string sticker is read and send to the integration database interface program
27 %before each mounting operation.\\
28 A picture of a Layer 4 mechanical structure mounted on the integration bench is shown in Fig.~\ref{fig:bench}.

41 \subsubsection{AOH Installation}
42 The small AOH board ($3\times 2.2 cm^2$)
43 is screwed to a C-shaped ledge which is directly glued on the string cooling
44 pipes. Due to mechanical constraints, the
45 fibers and their connectors should be carefully routed to the outside of the shell through a
46 number of ledges, holes and pipes keeping
47 them as close as possible to the carbon fiber structure surface to which they are finally fixed
48 using glued kapton strips. The main part of the pig-tail fibers
49 remains out of the shell and is temporary stored in the plastic
50 trays. The optical connectors are inserted
51 into arrays of dummy optical plugs fixed at the far-end of the
52 structure to be always accessible during the various tests which
53 require many connect-disconnect operations.\\
54
55 Since the optical fibers are quite fragile, special protections have
56 been arranged in the most critical points.
57 For example at the shell flange the fibers have to be bent by $90^\circ$ and
58 routed together with other services towards the service cylinder.
59 In this particular region the fibres are grouped together and
60 covered by a silicon rubber spiral (see
61 Fig.~\ref{fig:spiraline}).
62
63 The procedure resulted to be very effective: only few fibres out of
64 a total of 9192 were found broken at the end of TIB/TID integration.
65
66 A layer 2 shell with AOH mounted on is shown in Fig.~\ref{fig:aoh}.

85
86 Since the AOH is powered by the module kapton tail its test without
87 the corresponding module is not straightforward requiring a temporary
88 connector inserted into the fragile AOH plug. For this reason it has been choosen
89 not to test AOHs immediatly after their installation, despite the
90 operation of changing a broken AOH when the modules are already
91 installed is very difficult and somehow risky for the nearby objects
92 already mounted. Eventually, the number of AOH that had to be replaced
93 was anyway very small, at the level of one per shell/disk.
94
95 \subsubsection{Mother Cable Installation}
96 The Mother Cables were put in place after the AOH
97 mounting and when all optical fibers have been fixed to the shell and
98 adequately protected. The mother cables are inserted below
99 the ledges by sliding them on
100 the shell surface from the flange. The ledges support keep the
101 mother cable in place (see~\ref{fig:l3detail}). This procedure is in some cases
102 complicated by mechanical
103 constraints at the level of the shell front flange
104 and cooling manifolds. After the Mother Cables have been inserted they
105 are connected to the power cables (medusa cables) which are temporary
106 fixed to the shell supporting frame. \\
107 The {\em medusa cable} is a bundle of single insulated copper wires with
108 no definited envelope and geometry. This helps in efficiently
109 use the very limited available space on the TIB front flange during the
110 seervice routing.\\
111 % allowing
112 %to 'distribute' the cable among the other services. \\
113 To ease the implementation of the control ring redundancy, CCUs are
114 put in the ring with a pre-defined hardware address order. So, for each
115 string position in the ring, care must be taken to choose the proper mother cable,
116 that comes with the correct address CCUM already on it.
117 %, has to be provided with a
118 %CCU whose address is in a fixed order with respect to its position in
119 %the token ring.

130 \subsubsection{Module Mounting}\label{sect:tibmodules}
131 Both single modules and double sided module assemblies are mounted on the shell by hand.
132 The module is supported below the front-end
133 hybrid and on the opposite side by two ledges support that precisely
134 define the module position and act as heat sink
135 %for the front-end hybrid and the sensor generated power
136 being in contact with the cooling pipes.
137 The shape of the ledges is different for the single sided modules and
138 for the double-sided module assemblies. In the latter case the
139 ``stereo'' module sits on the structure upside-down and the ledge
140 below the hybrid has a milled slot to ensure enough room to the
141 front-end hybrid. The ledge on the opposite side has two different
142 shapes reflecting the two orientations of the ``stereo'' modules.
143 Each ledge has two M1 threaded holes. One is concentric with a 2mm
144 diameter socket.
145 The module features one precision pin on both short sides that fits
146 into the socket (Fig. \ref{fig:insets} c). The milling of the socket and the glueing of the
147 ledge onto the shell is done by using the same reference, i.e. the
148 ledge edges, so to ensure an accurate positioning.
149 The module pin at the hybrid side is glued onto the module frame. The
150 one at the opposite side, however, fits into an 'U'-shaped
151 slot a design that allows for movements along the module long side. In
152 a device that will be affected to huge temperature changes, this is an
153 essential feature to compensate for thermal variations while ensuring
154 mechanical precision.
155
156 Before mounting a module on the shell the structure is rotated to place
157 the corresponding string in a confortable and horizontal
158 position. Then the module inventory database is queried for an
159 appropriate module. The answer depends on module type and availability
160 at the integration centre and on the module depletion
161 voltage (see par.~\ref{sec:biasandvdepl}). \\
162
163 The module identified for mounting then undergoes an optical
164 inspection to check for obvious damages and the temporary labels used
165 during the production are removed. Finally the module and ledges
166 contact surfaces are inspected and cleaned to ensure an optimal heat
167 exchange with the cooling circuit. The operations that imply the
168 handling of the modules are very delicate and account for
169 a considarable fraction of the time spent into module mounting.\\
170
171 The single sided module or the double side modules assembly is mounted
172 on the structure by hand. It is first leaned onto the ledges and then is
173 gently slit until the pin at the hybrid side enters into the precision
174 socket. Now can only the rotation around the pin axis is possible.
175 The mounting is completed by inserting in the corresponding precision
176 socket the T-shaped aluminum pin placed in the U-shaped slot
177 (Fig. \ref{fig:insets} b) located on the frame short side opposite to
178 the hybrid. The module is finally tighetned by the four M1 screws by
179 using a limited-torque screw driver.
180

186 \textbf{b:} the T-shaped pin inserted in the slot (seen from below);
187 \textbf{c:} front-end hybrid side precision insertion pin (seen from below).}
188 \label{fig:insets}
189 \end{figure}
190
191 The clearance between the module most fragile parts (bondings)
192 and the other surrounding structures when the operation is performed (cooling pipes and ledges of the
193 adjacent strings and modules already mounted) are, in case of single-sided modules,
194 sufficiently large for a safe operation. For the double-sided module
195 assemblies the cleareances are much reduced, of the order or less than a millimeter.
196 In this case, to ease the mounting, a simple mechanical guidance
197 template has been designed to further reduce the risk of possible
198 accidental damage of the microbonds or the sensor.
199
200 Once a module or a double sided assembly is mounted its basic
201 functionality is tested by feeding low voltages and checking I$^2$C
202 communications with the various devices present on the hybrid, the CCU
203 on the mother cable and the AOH. This also allows the module identity
204 to be certified by using the DCU hardware ID.
205 Once a string of three or six modules is completed the I$^2$C
206 communications are checked again and a pedestal and noise run is taken
207 with a HV bias at 400V. For the tests complete description see
208 section~\ref{sec:Tests}.
209
210 \subsubsection{Control Ring Installation}
211 The control electronics that supervises the control ring, i.e. the
212 DOHM boards and in case the AUXs, are located on a carbon fiber skin
213 are mounted on the shell external surface just above the modules by carbon fiber pillars and aluminum supports (Fig. \ref{fig:dohm}).
214 A thin aluminum foil has been glued on the skin and electrically grounded
215 to reduce possible interference between the logical control signals and
216 the module analog electronics. All mother cables are then connected to
217 the DOHM (and AUX) ports by using a set of appropriately terminated
218 flat-cables that have been preprared before, on the empty structure,
219 by using dummy replicas of the DOHS/AUX boards and mother cables.
220
221 Each shell needs of three to six Control Rings, generally
222 differing also withinh the same shell with respect to the number of
223 served strings and the geographical distribution of these strings
224 into the shell.
225 For example, Layer 1 and 2, which are equipped with
226 double sided modules, have control rings of 3 to 5
227 strings, while Layer three and four have 13 to 15 single sided strings.\\
228 \begin{figure}[!htb]

232 \caption{A Layer 3 control ring circuitry during the cable preparation

234 connected the mother cable heads (not visible).}
235 \label{fig:dohm} % Give a unique label
236 \end{figure}
237
238 As can be seen in Fig.~\ref{fig:dohm}, due to the variable number of strings connected and their
239 different positions with respect to the support
240 mechanics and cooling, each control cable have a different length and shape and
241 should be tailored in-situ to minimize the path satisfying all the mechanical constraints.
242 Each control cable path has been optimized as a consequence of the
243 very limited room available for services.
244 For layer three and four the part of the control cables
245 which is not protected by the carbon fiber plate
246 is shielded using a thin Aluminum foil.\\
247 The $4 \times 2$ optical fibers, which connect the two DOH to the FEC,
248 are cerefully routed and protected at the flange. In fact the
249 redundancy architecture allows the ring to work also if the connection
250 to the master DOH fails, but the price to pay if both DOH connections
251 fail is of the order of 1-2\% of the entire TIB.\\
252 The DOHM cabling is completed by the power cable, very similar to the
253 mother cable 'medusas', and by the wiring of two PT1000 temperature
254 probes per control ring that comes already glued on the cooling manifolds.
255 The four probe wires are in fact routed through the DOHM via the Control
256 Ring power cable up to the power supply racks where the interlock
257 boards are also located. The four-wire resistance measurement
258 of the PT1000 is necessary to avoid the contribution of the
259 40 meter long power cable.
260 Also a humidity meter is hosted on the DOHM board; it is read out
261 through dedicated wires on the Control Ring power cable.
262
263 A thinner carbon fiber skin is used as a protecting cover. Electrical
264 shielding is ensured by an aluminum foil glued to the cover and
265 grounded (Fig. \ref{fig:dohml1}). Finally the control ring is tested (see section \ref{sec:Tests}).\\ .

275
276 \subsection{TID Integration }
277 The integration of the TID rings has required the design of a handling tool that
278 allows safe and easy manipulation of the mechanical structure, allows access and integration
279 on both side and provide support for the long optical fibers associated with the AOH and the DOH
280 of the DOHM. Moreover it should allow the assembly of rings into a full disk.
281
282 The handling tool is based on a aluminum crow plate with different mounting positions for: ring
283 holding towers (4 to hold each ring) to adapt to any of the three different rings; U-shape
284 feets to allow the placing of the ring front side upwards or downwards; stocking cylinder where to
285 place and hold the long fibers; aligning jigs with pillar to allow to pair together two crowns
286 and join pairs of rings together to allow the assembly of ring into a disk. The handling tool will be called
287 in the following as {\it integration crown} and it is shown in Fig.~\ref{fig:ringbench} for different configuration:
288 for a R1, R3 rings on the front side and a R1 for both sides.
289
290 The integration crown was made as light as possible, but rigid enough not to add mechanical stress to the
291 ring or the disk, during the manipulation, specially during rotation
292 of the structure (made manually using two handles) and the
293 assembly of rings into a disk. Weight????????

309 \end{figure}
310 Once a new ring structure arrived, it was mounted on an integration crown. In order to identify easily the mother cable positions
311 during the integration bar code stickers were temporarelly glued to the ring. The integration work was made
312 in parallel on several rings and disks at different steps of integration, therefore several integration crowns were used.
313
314 TID cooling ledges for the AOH could arrived with a bending angle outside specification, due to manipulations
315 of the ring and some touching that do not compromise the mechanical integrity of the cooling pipe.
316 The clearance between parts in a disk is very small, in particular silicon sensors have a minimal distance of 2mm between
317 AOH cooling ledges between ring 3 and ring 1, therefore mechanical checks were made and adjustment applied if needed.
318
319 \subsubsection{Services Installation }
320 The first step of integration was the installation of the services. For the TID a problem to be solved was the routing out of the optical fibers of the DOHs and AOHs: all fibers have to exit from the TID at specific positions relative to holes on Service Cylinder.
321 To do that, a set of AOHs associated to each mother cable was found, all fibers were prepared to form a unique bundle that
322 could be easily routed in the ring, holding together fibers using silicon rubber spirals. The same was done for pairs of DOHs going to the same DOHM.
323
324 All mother cables were prelimanarly tested in a dedicated test bench. The ring integration begin installing all four
325 mother cables on each side of the ring: they were placed and screwed to the ring and equipped with
326 CCU with the proper $I^2C$ address. The connector of the mother cables reach the outermost radius of the ring to allow the connection to the power cables.
327
328 Then the DOHM was fixed: for R2 and R3 the addition of a cable was needed in order to allow power connection at the outer radius of the ring. The ground of the DOHM was connected to a cable to reach the outer ring radius and will be used to make a unique grounding line for all TID+/-. Then the DOHM was equipped with a proper CCU and with the needed two DOHs: their fiber were routed out properly and attached to integration crown via the stocking cylinder.
329
330 The control ring cables that connect DOHM to the mother cables were pre-formed in advance and were mounted and adapted into the ring. A
331 complete functionality test of the control ring was then performed to verify that the main control ring and the redundancy were working
332 fine.
333
334 Two temperature sensors PT1000 were finally glued to the cooling manifold and connected to the DOHM.
335
336
337 Details of the DOHM integration can be seen in the Fig.~ref{fig:tiddohms}.

347
348
349 Mounting of the AOH followed, screwing them temporarelly to the cooling ledge. The fiber lenght closes to the module was hold in place using foil of kapton properly shaped and glued to the ring. Then fiber bundle was routed up to the outmost ring radius at the position where the mother cables connectors are, and they are mechanical hold there by a kapton foil screwed to the ring: the remaining lenght was then fixed to the stocking cylinders. Some of these working solutions are in shown in Fig.~\ref{fig:tidfibers}. All

360
361 \subsubsection{Module Mounting }
362 The mounting of TID modules follow exactly the same procedure explained in the TIB section~\ref{sect:tibmodules}.
363 Module mounting in rings is easier than in shells, since modules with following azimuthal angle are placed in opposite sides
364 of the ring. Neverthelss a lot of care was still needed: the precision pin was often very tight and the
365 module cometa was placed on the U-shaped slot and hold down by the side precision insertion pin. Sistamatic
366 checks were made on the electrical connection of the module ground with the carbon fiber.
367
368 Once a full mother cable was ready, several test as exaplined later in the paper. To perform the noise test,
369 the entire ring was darken and measurements were done, first without bias and then with bias up to 100V to check
370 good high voltage connection and that no evident physical damage was done to the silicon module.
371
372
373 \subsubsection{Assembly of rings into a disk }
374
375 Integration crown equipped with alignment cylinder, also alignment ring pieces
376 put on place.
377
378 Slow manual movement going down, rotating a pair of distance screws.
379
380 Lot of care in last millimiter about fitting fixing holes between rings and about parallelism of rings
381 and critical point of very close parts. Then, unfix the top ring from the integration crown and
382 screwing down the rings.

413 \subsection{Integration Database}
414
415 Each active element, cables included,
416 of the CMS experiment is identified by a bi-dimensional, radiation resistant,
417 bar code which is glued on the component itself redundantly coding a 14-digit number.
418 For the tracker the registered components are:
419 detector modules, AOHs, DOHMs, DOHs, CCUs, Mother Cables,
420 optical fibres and ribbons, power and control cables.
421 Using this code the object characteristics and the results of the tests previously performed
422 during the production phase, can be retrievied from
423 the Tracker construction database~\cite{ref:database}.
424 Of equal, or even more, importance are the component
425 mounting locations and the connections between them.
426 This information is stored on the integration database at integration time.
427 Moreover the integration database acts also as an inventory to locate the components among
428 the various integration centers managing the shipping procedures.
429 It also contains a subset of the test data of all the
430 devices and their functional status (good, broken, mounted, dismounted, etc...).\\
431 Along with module tests results also an important number is stored for each module:
432 the hardware identifier of the DCU chip
433 embedded with the module (or DcuHardId). This code can be retrieved during data acquisition,
434 allowing for an unambiguous identification of a module.\\
435 A TIB/TID specific key was defined to store the location of mounted devices (named Geographical
436 Identifier, or GeoId): it is a string
437 composed of numerical fields separated by dots, as described in Table~\ref{tab:geoids}.
438 Bar code stickers with the GeoId are glued on the mechanical structure
439 before the integration starts (Fig. \ref{fig:stickers}).

444 \caption{An empty shell with the bar code stickers identifying the strings.}
445 \label{fig:stickers}
446 \end{figure}
447
448 The first 7 numbers in a GeoId identify the string to which a device belongs, while the last
449 part of this code represents the physical location where the device is placed.

466 to this table. For example of GeoId 1.1.2.4.1.3.2 identifies the second string, of the
467 third manifold placed in the inner surface of the Layer 4 Down Forward TIB shell.}

472 %The first number identifies TIB (1) against TID (2),
473 %the second number marks the forward part (1) vs. the backward (2). Hence TIB and TID codes become
474 %different. For TIB the third number identifies the upper/lower shell (1,2) and the fourth is
475 %the layer index (1-4).
476 %The following numbers represent if a device is placed on the inner or outer surface of a shell,
477 %the cooling manifold a device belongs to and the string index insidethe same manifold.
