Storage and PC racks
Made by Skimaniac
The boxes in the front hold 16 500GB harddisks each. The system can use 8 of the boxes for storage, the other 2 ensure the data stays consistent.
The LHC beamline
Made by Skimaniac
I think this is the only place where you can really see the LHC beam line. The rest is covered in magnets, cooling systems and other stuff.
10GBit links
Made by Skimaniac
These cables are like 5km long. So you need much power on the laser. And the laser module costs more than 15,000 SFr.
The level 2 trigger in LHCb
Made by Skimaniac
There will be like 2000 of such PC's down there. All just doing event reconstuction.
