Good afternoon!
We have a small rack battery that needs replacing in the 1st floor data closet in the Main Building. The process for these replacements is fairly straightforward, and typically does not power off the equipment that is connected to it.
However, we have had inadvertent reboots while swapping these in the past - so, we are hedging on the side of caution, and doing this swap earlier in the morning, just in case the switch reboots during the replacement.
Activity: Replacement of APC UPS Rack mounted battery, battery backup unavailable during the swap
Location: 1st Floor Data Closet
Date: 4/21/26
Time: 8:00 a.m.
Affecting: This should not affect anything, but if the switch reboots, network access and a handful of wireless access points on the 1st floor, will be unavailable for about 15 minutes.
Thank you for your time and patience while we complete this necessary work,
Have a wonderful rest of your day!
Respectfully,
Matthew
