Sutardja Dai Network Interruptions, Wed. 1/10

January 5, 2024 by Derek Calderon

From 6AM to 10AM on Wednesday, January 10th, facilities will be performing electrical work in Sutardja Dai Hall which will affect power to our network equipment.

We expect that as a result, there will be two 5-10 minute network outages throughout SDH, one each at the beginning and end of the electrical work.

During these two periods, please expect all wired and wireless networks to be unavailable while our equipment reboots. We expect full network service to resume after each of these periods, however if we experience an unexpected prolonged outage we will update this post with more information.

Update 1/10 12:30PM: All SDH networks are online and stable after a couple brief interruptions earlier this morning. Please contact us at help@eecs.berkeley.edu if you continue to experience any network-related issues.
