| The European X-Ray Free Electron Laser is currently under construction and planned to be commissioned end of 2015. The facility is built deep under the ground – from 6 to 38 m. The total length of the facility tunnels is 3,4 km. The main LINAC alone is 2 km long. Since a major fraction of the control equipment will be installed in the tunnels, around 200 special cabinets or racks are necessary for that. These cabinets must to fulfill a number of strong criteria to ensure stable and reliable operation of the facility. For example, they have to provide radiation and EMI shielding for the electronic components and need to be climatized. At the same time the cabinets must be compact and need to have very good vibrostability. This paper describes the technologies, tools and methodologies used for the planning, inventory administration and control of electronics storage infrastructure of the European XFEL. | ||
