Computing estimate unmanaged devices: 0000-0900 same day
Computing estimate managed devices: 0130-0630 same day

An electrical shutdown in Old Main Building will result in loss of network connectivity and the unavailability of certain core computer systems during the power outage.

You should turn off all computer equipment and peripherals (eg., computers, monitors, printers) before leaving Uni on Tuesday 5 July 2005.

Explanation of states:
Up=Service will 'failover'. It will be on the air.
Unaffected=Service has nothing to do with the host in question. It will be on the air.
Down=Service can not 'failover'. It will be off the air.
Delayed=Temporarily unavailable. The nature of the service implies it is resilient to the type of outage.
