[Cee-grad-students] REMINDER - Brief power outage may happen at 9:30pm on Tuesday, Oct 28
by Janaka Jayawardena 27 Oct '25

27 Oct '25

As we had announced earlier, technicians will be onsite to return one of the FAB/EB building power feeds back into service. This work could result in a very brief outage to some parts of FAB/EB as they failover to the newly activated feed. Some computer labs, research spaces, and offices in FAB/EB could be affected. The work is expected to be done around 9:30 pm, shortly after the last scheduled classes in FAB/EB end. I will send another spam when we get the all clear that the work is completed. The data center and other UPS backed up regions will not be affected. -- Janaka Jayawardena IT Director - MCECS _______________________________________________ Allofthem mailing list -- allofthem(a)lists.cecs.pdx.edu To unsubscribe send an email to allofthem-leave(a)lists.cecs.pdx.edu
