[Its-colocation-customers] Sliger Building Power Outage Rescheduled For May 28 - June 1

[Mitch Gans]

Dear Sliger Co-location Customers,

Everyone who has ever done a major renovation or built their own house has run into the issue of manufacturers not being able to deliver equipment on-time. We are running into the same issue for the Sliger renovation project. The vendor, Square D, will not be able to deliver critical electrical switch gear on-schedule for the planned downtime.

What does this mean for you?
We need to reschedule our planned outage of the Sliger building. Instead of starting on April 28, the building outage will commence on Friday, May 28th (Memorial Day weekend).

The power will be shut off to the Sliger Building at 8:00 AM on Friday, May 28th, and turned back on again on the afternoon of June 1. If you have made prior arrangements with us to retain emergency generator power for your equipment, then we will contact you directly to work with you about rescheduling around these new dates.

You are advised to gracefully power off your equipment before COB on Thursday, May 27th. Let us know if you will need to be on-site to either power down your equipment on that day or to bring it back up after power is restored on the afternoon of June 1.

Our apologies for this inconvenience. We have tried to anticipate these kinds of delays in our planning, but we have no control over these kinds of supply chain issues.

Revised Schedule Summary
The schedule will now be as follows:

  *   Thursday, May 27; 8am - Temporary power generator online; RCC staff on-site to assist departments in powering off or transferring their systems onto the generator
  *   Friday, May 28; 8am - Tues, June 1 - Downtime
  *   Tuesday, June 1; noon - Power and HVAC restored and running; RCC staff on-site all afternoon to assist departments with switching equipment back to permanent power
  *   Wednesday, June 2; 8am - 5pm - RCC staff on site all day to assist departments transition remaining equipment back to permanent power
