(Randy, Jordan, Travis, Filiberto, Gerardo)

We closed four small gate valves, two at the relay tube, RV-1 and RV-2.  Two at the filter cavity tube, between BSC3 and HAM7, FCV-1 and FCV-2.  The purge air system was on since last week, with a dew point reported by the dryer tower of -66 ^oC, and -44.6 ^oC measured chamber side.  Particulate was measured at the port by the chamber, zero for all sizes.  HAM7 ion pump was valved out. 

Filiberto helped us out with making sure high voltage was off at HAM7, we double checked with procedure M1300464.  Then, system was vented per procedure E2300169 with no issues.

Other activities at the vented chamber:

• Annulus ion pump was turned off, and system was vented with nitrogen gas.
• Most of the bolts were removed from the -Y door, we left the usual 4.
• Most of the bolts were removed for both of the 12" blanks, access ports, located on the +Y door, only 3 hand tight bolts remain on each blank.

Currently the chamber has the purge air active at a very low setting.
