06/08/2009 - IT Plans for Tuesday Power Outage (June 9, 2009)

IT staff will begin powering down its servers (Web, e-mail, myOleMiss, and the others) at 4:00 PM Tuesday in preparation for the Physical Plant's announced power outage at 5:00 PM. The campus Web site, e-mail system, and all other online applications will be unavailable until after power is restored. The Physical plant has estimated they will need 4 hours to swap over power lines as part of the Rebel Substation renovation. After power is restored, the campus network, Web site, e-mail, and other services should begin functioning within the hour.

We urge all computer users to be mindful of the planned power outage at 5:00 PM Tuesday and to turn off their machines before then to avoid any problems.
