<p class="xxmsonormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:#2C2A29"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xxmsonormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:#2C2A29">As part of the ongoing Sliger Renovation, the contractor (Arbitron-Williams) will be working on the data center’s electrical and HVAC systems over the first
weekend in May. Everything hosted in the Sliger Data Center will have to be shut off before that happens, including all RCC systems. Your department has equipment in the Sliger Data Center and the power outage will affect your systems. We've already reached
out to most affected departments, but want to make sure that everyone is on the same page.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xxmsonormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:#1D1C1D"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xxmsonormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:#1D1C1D">RCC staff will contact you in the coming weeks to determine what your specific power needs are and to work out a schedule for either shutting off your systems
or transferring them over to temporary power via a generator.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xxmsonormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:#1D1C1D"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xxmsonormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:#1D1C1D">While temporary generator-supplied power is an option for mission-critical systems, we strongly urge you to consider shutting off non-critical servers. There
will be no redundancy in power with UPS backups and no redundant cooling. Running systems on temporary power will be done at your own risk. If you choose to shut off your systems for the outage duration, we will provide protective coverings for your systems
or racks to protect them from dust and other construction artifacts.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xxmsonormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:#1D1C1D"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xxmsonormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:#1D1C1D">Whether you choose for your systems to remain on temporary power or not, a technician from your department will most likely need to be on-site at the Sliger
data center both before and after the maintenance.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
