Scheduled

Northwestern University Information Technology (NUIT) will be performing scheduled maintenance at 2001 Sheridan. During this time, the Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) connected to both the generator and the Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) will be de-energized.

This maintenance will impact the building-wide UPS. Please note that some of the newly established NUIT telecom rooms are equipped with dual power sources, and our new switch stacks are expected to remain operational throughout the maintenance period.

Additionally, we are actively working this week to provide redundant power to the four telecom rooms to further enhance reliability.
