Planned Outage on May 20 for Enterprise Servers

On May 20 electricians will shut down all power to the Data Center in WBOB to add a second uninterrupted power system (UPS). Because of the power outage, many systems will not be available. Affected servers will be shut down starting at 6 a.m. to prepare for an 8 a.m. main power outage.
