| (hopefully) Non-disruptive BGRC power outage Sat 7am | ||
|
May 09 2008 - Just an FYI... The external power to the BGRC building will be completely cut off tomorrow starting at 7am, for 2 to as many as 8 hours (see explanation below). We expect that our UPS and generator will make it a non-event for our routers and servers, just as when similar work was done at SEL last year. However, Murphy's Law always lurks, so we thought it best to let you know about it. ACCC staff will be standing by if any problems develop. The COM server room job on the second floor required some electrical work to get a large power feed to the room. As part of that job, the electricians found that a main breaker to the building was bad and ready to fail. UIC electricians are planning to replace the breaker. This will knock out power to the entire building. No one can be in the building during the outage. The formal window for the entire job is rated at 8 hours, but I suspect it won't take that long. There were similar estimates in SEL for that major breaker, and it went quickly. |
