[CSBi-HPC] NE47 power outage - Sat Sept 23rd

[Al Davis]

As part of the ongoing NE47 building renovation for Novartis, there will be a 
building wide power outage on Saturday Sept 23rd.  The power will be out the 
whole day which means there won't be any power in the computer server room. 
I'll be turning off the CSBi IBM cluster here in NE47 Friday night and turn it 
back on Sunday - plan accordingly.

MIT has agreed to pay for the installation of an electrical circuit to connect 
the computer room UPS to the building emergency generator, which means we'll be 
able to keep the lights on (and the computers) even when the building power goes 
out.  This is a fairly large project, so the ETA for this is still several 
months away and thus it won't be installed in time for this power outage.


Respond back if you have questions/concerns.

thanks, al
