:'''DETAILS:'''  
  
:'''WHAT:''' Malone Hall G61, both the Masters and Ugrad sides of the lab, will lose power due to WSE Facilities work, and these Linux systems will be unavailable.  
+
: Both the MH 122 '''and''' G61 Masters and Ugrad Labs will be used for an ACM Programming Contest and will therefore be '''''closed''''' to those not participating in the contest.
  
:'''WHEN:'''  Saturday, February 8, from 7:30am to no later than 8:30am.
+
: Additionally, all of the labs' Linux computers (grad1 through grad16 and ugrad1 through ugrad24) will be unavailable during the time period referenced above.

+
* During the lab closure times, compute servers, gradx.cs.jhu.edu, gradz.cs.jhu.edu, ugradx.cs.jhu.ed, and ugradz.cs.jhu.edu  '''''will continue to be available remotely''''', via SSH.
  
: WSE Facilities will take down power to the entire ground floor of Malone Hall (except for, they claim, our server room) on Saturday morning, Feb. 8, from 7:30am to no later than 8:30am to rework circuitsThis will, unfortunately, bring down the power in our G61 Masters and Ugrad LabThis means that, during the outage, masters1 through masters16 and ugrad13 through ugrad24 will be down.
+
* We have to take down the lab systems late that Friday afternoon.  At the end of the ACM contest that Saturday night, the coordinators of that contest will be turning our lab computer systems back on. Most should boot normallyBut, if some do not, just trying using an alternate one in the lab.  We'll be back in the Monday afterwards and can check on any systems that didn't boot normally(And don't forget, as mentioned above our compute servers -- gradx, gradz, ugradx, ugradz -- will continue to be remotely available, even if the lab systems are not.)
  
:Assuming the auto-power-on feature of these Linux systems in our ground floor labs function correctly, the systems should auto-boot and return to normal later in the morning.  If not, we'll be able to deal with them on Monday morning, when someone on the IT staff will be back at Malone.
+
* The printers in MH 122 and MH G61 will remain online, but, please pick up your printouts outside of the contest hours.
