Abstract: A tray of the STAR Time-Of-Flight detector (TOFr) based on the Multi-gap Resistive Plate Chamber technology was constructed and then operated in STAR during the RHIC 2003 spring physics run after beam-tested at AGS of BNL. The calibration procedure of the tray is introduced. The main properties of the chambers in the tray fulfill the requirements of the STAR experiment.
