[Physstaff] Network availabilty during JOHN ANDERSON BUILDING: SHUTDOWN OF ELECTRICAL SERVICES

[Timothy Briggs]

A note from IT Services, detailing the network availability this week as electrical services are shutdown:

On Thursday Estates will run a temporary supply for us from L7.  We will switch the UPS serving most equipment, including the building router, to that, with no service interruption.  This will maintain the main router services (for Anderson and Wolfson) while they do the L6 tests.

There are at least three switches, mainly serving L7 I think, that are not protected by the UPS and will be down for the period on Thursday night.

For the other areas, we are taking no particular action, so there will be no network service for users as follows, according to Estates timetable:

Thu 29th: users around level 1

Wed 28th: users around L2, L3 south and the new extension

Mon 26th: users around L3 north, L4 and some of L5.  The L4 cab may also service some parts of L6, but not many.

Thanks,

Timothy

I apologise for any inconvenience this may cause. Should you have any points you wish to raise on this matter please do not hesitate to contact the undersigned on extension 2164.

We would advise that on restoration of supply Estates Services will confirm that power has been restored to the main switchgear. We would point out that local power supplies particularly high-risk equipment should be individually checked. We would anticipate that departments will make their own arrangements to do this; however, Estates Services would be prepared to assist with these checks if appropriately advised.
