Scheduled computer outage on July 30

UCS has posted a notice that the main computer room will undergo an electrical infrastructure upgrade this Sunday, July 30, from 12:00 a.m. until 6:00 a.m. This upgrade requires a complete power outage; all computing resources in the computer room will be shutdown during this time. Internet connectivity, e-mail, all Ball State websites, and the IBM mainframe will be unavailable during this outage.

Several online services will not be available at the University Libraries during this time. These include CardCat, ILLiad, and other web-based services. The University Libraries will have someone available to troubleshoot any problems if the system does not resume as scheduled on Sunday morning.
