Hardware production quality control for the ATLAS Phase-I readout upgrade

Abstract

The off-detector data aquisition system upgrade of the LHC ATLAS experiment at CERN is based on the Front-End LInk eXchange framework. As part of this upgrade, approximately 120 custom PCIe cards are being produced by an industrial partner, based on a hardware design developed within the ATLAS collaboration. This production requires detailed Quality Assurance and Quality Control procedures to ensure the hardware being produced is fully functional and robust for many years.
