Potential ITS Franklin power outage March 26

If new electrical equipment arrives as scheduled, there will be a complete power outage at the 440 W. Franklin St. building from Saturday, March 26, at 5:30 p.m. until no later than Sunday, March 27, at 7:00 a.m. During the outage, all network computer services will be unavailable to buildings for which cable is routed through 440.

Those buildings are the Administrative Office Building, 308 W. Rosemary, 206 W. Franklin, 337 W. Rosemary and 208 W. Franklin.

Some of the services affected include the following:

Netware and Windows file and print servers: Any document that is stored on a network drive; any document that you want to print to a networked printer (that is, one that is not directly attached to your computer and no other);
–ITS Server Farm departmental application servers and mainframe and related applications: Student Central, Finance Central, FACS, HRIS, CICS, TSO, FOCUS, IDMS, GMS, SIS, Oracle, etc.

While we regret the inconvenience that this outage might cause customers, it is necessary to complete critical electrical and networking changes required by the 440 West Franklin Street renovation project.

Again, service should be restored by 7:00 a.m. on Sunday.

Should you have questions about the services affected, contact 440 Computer Operations at 966-5886 or 698-8622.–Ray DeCristofaro with LJB
