Following up on the previous scheduled power outage, the electricians still need to try addressing the failed circuit breaker on the first floor of Soda, since first floor lights and Soda Hall main supply and exhaust fans remain off, and parts of the building are becoming unbearably hot due to lack of airflow.
Similarly to last time, Soda Hall will be completely without power beginning at 7PM. Please shut down your systems before 7PM on Thursday to avoid any issues. This includes all systems in the Soda 340 server room. Power is expected to be restored by 8:15PM.
We expect all IRIS services to remain available, due to a combination of battery backups and redundant servers in other buildings.
BWRC networks will be offline during this shutdown, as they are dependent on Soda Hall.
Please contact us at help@eecs.berkeley.edu if you have any questions.
UPDATE
[2025-09-18 | larsrohr ]
Power was restored by about 9:15PM. IRIS staff will be working to bring any needed machines online and to make sure all IRIS services are responding normally.
