1 \section{Integration Procedures}
2 \label{sec:Procedures}
3 The 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}.

43 \subsubsection{AOH Installation}
44 The small AOH board ($3\times 2.2 cm^2$)
45 is screwed to a C-shaped ledge which is directly glued on the string cooling
46 pipes. Due to mechanical constraints, the
47 fibers and their connectors should be carefully routed to the outside of the shell through a
48 number of ledges, holes and pipes keeping
49 them as close as possible to the carbon fiber structure surface to which they are finally fixed
50 using glued kapton strips. The main part of the pig-tail fibers
51 remains out of the shell and is temporary stored in the plastic
52 trays. The optical connectors are inserted
53 into arrays of dummy optical plugs fixed at the far-end of the
54 structure to be always accessible during the various tests which
55 require many connect-disconnect operations.\\
56
57 Since the optical fibers are quite fragile, special protections have
58 been arranged in the most critical points.
59 For example at the shell flange the fibers have to be bent by $90^\circ$ and
60 routed together with other services towards the service cylinder.
61 In this particular region the fibres are grouped together and
62 covered by a silicon rubber spiral (see
63 Fig.~\ref{fig:spiraline}).
64
65 The procedure resulted to be very effective: only few fibres out of
66 a total of 9192 were found broken at the end of TIB/TID integration.
67
68 A layer 2 shell with AOH mounted on is shown in Fig.~\ref{fig:aoh}.

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

131 \subsubsection{Module Mounting}\label{sect:tibmodules}
132 %Both single modules and double sided module assemblies are mounted on the shell by hand.
133 The module is supported below the front-end
134 hybrid and on the opposite side by two aluminum ledges that precisely
135 define its position and, being in contact with the cooling pipes,
136 act as heat sink.
137 %for the front-end hybrid and the sensor generated power
138 The shape of the ledges is different for the single sided modules and
139 for the double-sided module assemblies. In the latter case the
140 ``stereo'' module sits on the structure upside-down and the hybrid ledge
141 has a milled slot to leave enough room for the
142 front-end hybrid. The ledge on the opposite side has two different
143 shapes reflecting the two orientations of the ``stereo'' modules.
144 Each ledge has two M1 threaded holes. One is concentric with a 2mm
145 diameter socket.
146 The module features one precision pin on both short sides that fits
147 into the socket (Fig. \ref{fig:inserts} c).
148 The milling of the socket and the glueing of the
149 ledge onto the shell are both done by using the same reference, i.e. the
150 precisely machined ledge edges, so to ensure an accurate positioning.
151 The module pin at the hybrid side is glued onto the module frame. The
152 one at the opposite side, however, fits into an 'U'-shaped
153 slot a design that allows for movements along the module long side.
154 With such a constraint it is always possible to easily screw down the module
155 regardless of the small construction tolerances on the relative position
156 of the four holes set.
157 %In a device that will be affected to huge temperature changes, this is an
158 %essential feature to compensate for thermal variations while ensuring
159 %mechanical precision.
160
161 Before mounting a module on the shell the structure is rotated to place
162 the corresponding string in a horizontal position to ease the following
163 operations.
164 FIXME: Introdurre l'inventory database prima delle procedure d'integrazione,
165 in modo da poterlo nominare qui, e anche prima quando si parla del montaggio
166 di MC e AOH.
167 Then the module inventory database is queried for an
168 appropriate module. The answer depends on module type and availability
169 at the integration centre and on the module depletion
170 voltage (see par.~\ref{sec:biasandvdepl}). \\
171
172 The module identified for mounting then undergoes an optical
173 inspection to check for obvious damages and the temporary labels used
174 during the production are removed. Finally the module and ledges
175 contact surfaces are inspected and cleaned to ensure an optimal heat
176 exchange with the cooling circuit. The operations that imply the
177 handling of the modules are very delicate and account for
178 a considarable fraction of the time spent into module mounting.\\
179
180 The single sided module or the double side modules assembly is mounted
181 on the structure by hand. It is first leaned onto the ledges and then is
182 gently slit until the pin at the hybrid side enters into the precision
183 socket. At this stage only a rotation around the pin axis is possible.
184 The mounting is completed by inserting in the corresponding precision
185 socket the T-shaped aluminum pin placed in the U-shaped slot
186 (Fig. \ref{fig:inserts} b) located on the frame short side opposite to
187 the hybrid. The module is finally tighetned by the four M1 screws by
188 using a limited-torque screw driver.
189
190 \begin{figure}[tbh]

193 \caption{TIB single-sided module inserts:

195 \textbf{b:} the T-shaped pin inserted in the slot (seen from below);
196 \textbf{c:} front-end hybrid side precision insertion pin (seen from below).}
197 \label{fig:inserts}
198 \end{figure}
199
200 The clearance between the module most fragile parts (bondings)
201 and the other surrounding structures when the operation is performed
202 (cooling pipes and ledges of the
203 adjacent strings and modules already mounted) are, in case of single-sided
204 modules,
205 sufficiently large for a safe operation. For the double-sided module
206 assemblies the cleareances are much reduced being
207 of the order or less than a millimeter.
208 In this case, to ease the mounting, a simple mechanical guidance
209 template has been designed to further reduce the risk of possible
210 accidental damage of the microbonds or the sensor.
211 This template is temporary mounted using the ledges of the adjacent string
212 and prevents the module to move into positions where its bondings
213 can touch the mechanics. When the module is safely screwed into position
214 the template is removed.
215
216 Once a module or a double sided assembly is mounted its basic
217 functionality is tested by feeding low voltages and checking I$^2$C
218 communications with the various devices present on the hybrid, the CCU
219 on the mother cable and the AOH. This also allows the module identity
220 to be certified by reading the DCU hardware ID.
221 Once a string is completed the I$^2$C
222 communications are checked again and a pedestal and noise run is taken
223 with a bias voltage of 400V. For the tests complete description see
224 section~\ref{sec:Tests}.
225
226 \subsubsection{Control Ring Installation}
227 The control electronics that supervises the control ring
228 (DOHM and AUX boards) are located on a carbon fiber skin which is
229 mounted on the shell external surface, just above the modules,
230 by carbon fiber pillars and aluminum supports (Fig. \ref{fig:dohm}).
231 A thin aluminum foil has been glued on the carbon fiber
232 skin and electrically grounded
233 to reduce possible interference between the logical control signals and
234 the module analog electronics. All mother cables are then connected to
235 the DOHM (and AUX) ports by using a set of appropriately shaped
236 flat-cables that have been preprared before, on the empty structure,
237 by using dummy replicas of the DOHM/AUX boards and mother cables.
238
239 Each shell is equipped by three to six Control Rings, generally
240 differing also within the same shell with respect to the number of
241 served strings and the geographical distribution of these strings
242 into the shell.
243 For example, Layer 1 and 2, which are equipped with
244 double sided modules, have control rings of 3 to 5
245 strings, while Layer 3 and 4 have 13 to 15 single sided strings.\\
246 \begin{figure}[!htb]

248 \includegraphics[width=0.60\textwidth]{Figs/dohm.pdf}

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

252 connected to the mother cable heads (not visible).}
253 \label{fig:dohm} % Give a unique label
254 \end{figure}
255
256 As can be seen in Fig.~\ref{fig:dohm}, due to the variable number of strings connected and their
257 different positions with respect to the support
258 mechanics and cooling, each control cable have a different length and shape and
259 should be tailored in-situ to minimize the path satisfying all the mechanical constraints.
260 Each control cable path has been optimized as a consequence of the
261 very limited room available for services.
262 For layer three and four the part of the control cables
263 which is not protected by the carbon fiber plate
264 is shielded using a thin aluminum foil.\\
265 The $4 \times 2$ optical fibers, which connect the two DOH to the FEC,
266 are carefully routed and protected at the flange.
267 This is a critical point because it is true that the
268 redundancy architecture allows the ring to work also if the connection
269 to the master DOH fails, but the price to pay if both DOH connections
270 fail is of the lost of 1-2\% of the entire system.\\
271 The DOHM cabling is completed by the power cable, very similar to the
272 mother cable 'medusas', and by the wiring of two PT1000~\cite{ref:pt1000}
273 temperature
274 probes per control ring that comes already glued on the cooling manifolds.
275 The four probe wires are in fact routed through the DOHM via the Control
276 Ring power cable up to the power supply racks where the interlock
277 boards are also located. The four-wire resistance measurement
278 of the PT1000 is necessary to avoid the contribution of the
279 40 meter long power cable.
280 Also a hygrometer (HMX2000~\cite{ref:hmx}) is hosted on the DOHM board; it is read out
281 through dedicated wires on the Control Ring power cable. These sensors
282 are used to monitor the TIB/TID enviromental conditions even
283 without the tracker read-out switched on.
284
285 A thinner carbon fiber skin is used as a protecting and shielding
286 cover of the control ring circutry. Also in this case electrical
287 shielding is ensured by an aluminum foil glued to the cover and
288 grounded (Fig. \ref{fig:dohml1}).
289 When completely installed
290 the control ring is tested.
291 A complete debug, including the control of the redundancy, is done
292 at this level to spot possible malfunctioning which are relatively easy
293 to repare at the integration centers. For a complete test description
294 see section \ref{sec:Tests}\\ .

305 \subsection{TID Integration }
306 The integration of the TID rings has required the design of a handling tool that
307 allows safe and easy manipulation of the mechanical structure, allows access and integration
308 on both side and provide support for the long optical fibers associated with the AOH and the DOH
309 of the DOHM. Moreover it should allow the assembly of rings into a full disk.
310
311 The handling tool is based on a aluminum crow plate with different mounting positions for: ring
312 holding towers (4 to hold each ring) to adapt to any of the three different rings; U-shape
313 feets to allow the placing of the ring front side upwards or downwards; stocking cylinder where to
314 place and hold the long fibers; aligning jigs with pillar to allow to pair together two crowns
315 and join pairs of rings together to allow the assembly of ring into a disk. The handling tool will be called
316 in the following as {\it integration crown} and it is shown in Fig.~\ref{fig:ringbench} for different configuration:
317 for a R1, R3 rings on the front side and a R1 for both sides.
318
319 The integration crown was made as light as possible, but rigid enough not to add mechanical stress to the
320 ring or the disk, during the manipulation, specially during rotation
321 of the structure (made manually using two handles) and the
322 assembly of rings into a disk. Weight????????

341 Once a new ring structure arrived, it was mounted on an integration crown. In order to identify easily the mother cable positions
342 during the integration bar code stickers were temporarelly glued to the ring. The integration work was made
343 in parallel on several rings and disks at different steps of integration, therefore several integration crowns were used.
344
345 TID cooling ledges for the AOH could arrived with a bending angle outside specification, due to manipulations
346 of the ring and some touching that do not compromise the mechanical integrity of the cooling pipe.
347 The clearance between parts in a disk is very small, in particular silicon sensors have a minimal distance of 2mm between
348 AOH cooling ledges between ring 3 and ring 1, therefore mechanical checks were made and adjustment applied if needed.
349
350 \subsubsection{Services Installation }
351 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.
352 To do that, a set of AOHs associated to each mother cable was found, all fibers were prepared to form a unique bundle that
353 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.
354
355 All mother cables were prelimanarly tested in a dedicated test bench. The ring integration begin installing all four
356 mother cables on each side of the ring: they were placed and screwed to the ring and equipped with
357 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.
358
359 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.
360
361 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
362 complete functionality test of the control ring was then performed to verify that the main control ring and the redundancy were working
363 fine.
364
365 Two temperature sensors PT1000 were finally glued to the cooling manifold and connected to the DOHM.
366
367
368 Details of the DOHM integration can be seen in the Fig.~ref{fig:tiddohms}.

378
379
380 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

391
392 \subsubsection{Module Mounting }
393 The mounting of TID modules follow exactly the same procedure explained in the TIB section~\ref{sect:tibmodules}.
394 Module mounting in rings is easier than in shells, since modules with following azimuthal angle are placed in opposite sides
395 of the ring. Neverthelss a lot of care was still needed: the precision pin was often very tight and the
396 module cometa was placed on the U-shaped slot and hold down by the side precision insertion pin. Sistamatic
397 checks were made on the electrical connection of the module ground with the carbon fiber.
398
399 Once a full mother cable was ready, several test as exaplined later in the paper. To perform the noise test,
400 the entire ring was darken and measurements were done, first without bias and then with bias up to 100V to check
401 good high voltage connection and that no evident physical damage was done to the silicon module.
402

404 \subsubsection{Assembly of rings into a disk }

444 \subsection{Integration Database}
445
446 Each active element, cables included,
447 of the CMS experiment is identified by a bi-dimensional, radiation resistant,
448 bar code which is glued on the component itself redundantly coding a 14-digit number.
449 For the tracker the registered components are:
450 detector modules, AOHs, DOHMs, DOHs, CCUs, Mother Cables,
451 optical fibres and ribbons, power and control cables.
452 Using this code the object characteristics and the results of the tests previously performed
453 during the production phase, can be retrievied from
454 the Tracker construction database~\cite{ref:database}.
455 Of equal, or even more, importance are the component
456 mounting locations and the connections between them.
457 This information is stored on the integration database at integration time.
458 Moreover the integration database acts also as an inventory to locate the components among
459 the various integration centers managing the shipping procedures.
460 It also contains a subset of the test data of all the
461 devices and their functional status (good, broken, mounted, dismounted, etc...).\\
462 Along with module tests results also an important number is stored for each module:
463 the hardware identifier of the DCU chip
464 embedded with the module.% (or DcuHardId).
465 This code can be retrieved during data acquisition,
466 allowing for an unambiguous identification of a module.\\
467 A TIB/TID specific key was defined to store the location of mounted devices (named Geographical
468 Identifier, or GeoId): it is a string
469 composed of numerical fields separated by dots.
470 %, as described in Table~\ref{tab:geoids}.
471 Bar code stickers with the GeoId are glued on the mechanical structure
472 before the integration starts (Fig. \ref{fig:bench}).

481 The first 7 numbers in a GeoId identify the string to which a device belongs,
482 while the last
483 part of this code represents the physical location where the device is placed
484 in that particular string.

500 %{A generic $a.b.c.d.e.f.g$ GeoId identifies a string and must be interpreted according
501 %to this table. For example of GeoId 1.1.2.4.1.3.2 identifies the second string, of the

507 %The first number identifies TIB (1) against TID (2),
508 %the second number marks the forward part (1) vs. the backward (2). Hence TIB and TID codes become
509 %different. For TIB the third number identifies the upper/lower shell (1,2) and the fourth is
510 %the layer index (1-4).
511 %The following numbers represent if a device is placed on the inner or outer surface of a shell,
512 %the cooling manifold a device belongs to and the string index insidethe same manifold.
