The discussion of CPCC spares prompted me to bring this up. 

Though it is difficult to imagine how we could lose both CPCCs and the spare, the fact of the matter is that, if we do, the EVLA could be off the air for weeks.

A simple 'CPCC bypass' would be RPMIB-cable terminating connectors that are hard-wired to cause the boards to be powered up and the rack fans to be set to high.  With either set of CPCC cables plugged into these terminators, the system would run.

This should be relatively inexpensive to implement (connectors, +5V power supply, panel, Kerry).  

Does this sound like something we should do?
