The Phase-II Upgrade of the ATLAS Muon Spectrometer for the High Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) includes the installation of a new and more efficient trigger and readout system for the Monitored Drift Tube (MDT) chambers. It is crucial that the Phase-II Upgrade can be tested on an MDT chamber outside of ATLAS, to detect errors and verify possible solutions, independent of the upgrade operations at CERN. The Cosmic Ray Facility in Garching could provide an ideal testsite, as it consists of two fully functional MDT chambers. However, its readout electronics and infrastracture are not compatible with the Phase-II Upgrade. As a first step, the infrastructure and electronics in the Cosmic Ray Facility are upgraded to the Phase-I standard of the ATLAS Muon Spectrometer. This includes the setup of a FELIX based readout system, which is compatible with both the Phase-I and the Phase-II electronics. Furthermore, new scintillators are installed on the top and on the bottom of the setup, in parallel to the MDTs, to allow preliminary tests of a path-based trigger. In this talk the current status of the project and first results are presented.
