SYSTEM MAINTENANCE NOTICE
The battery backup system (UPS) for the campus server room will undergo its semi-annual maintenance this Friday, 6/1/2007, between 3:00 and 5:00 PM. No system downtime is expected, but during this time the server room will be running solely on utility power, with no battery backup.

LISTSERVE OUTAGE CAUSED BY FAULTY STMP SERVICE PATCH
|
The college listserve processor was down from 9:00 AM May 7 to 9:20 AM May 8 causing a number of list messages to be delayed. The problem was caused by a faulty patch that failed to restart the email delivery service. This also caused some automated notification messages to be delayed.

Work on the Internet bandwidth upgrade has begun
|
Workers are now laying the groundwork for the installation of the, much anticipated, Internet bandwidth upgrade. Today they are installing innerduct. This is a rigid tubing (usually orange) that provides protection for fiber optic cable. They will also be installing new telephone cable and inter-building fiber optic cable as part of the PUB remodel. This initial work is expected to take five days to complete. Another contractor will then follow in two to three weeks to complete the bandwidth upgrade connection. Stay tuned for further details.
