U tilities and Energy staff will switch the entire campus in and out of Isla nd Mode twice per hour (see full schedule below).  The first test will be gin at the top of the hour\, shifting off of EWEB’s electrical grid and onto our own power generation system (called Island Mode).  At 15-minutes after the hour\, we will exit out of Island Mode and return back to EWEB ’s power source.  This cycle will be repeated again at 30-minutes after the hour\, re-entering Island Mode and 45-minutes after the hour when exi ting Island Mode.  If problems occur during any of the planned thirteen ( 13) island mode tests\, power outages up to 10-seconds in duration may occ ur.   Please scroll down to learn more about Technology Impacts and wha t you can do to help mitigate them. The electrical distribution system re dundancy and resiliencies depend upon the properly functioning power gener ation system and island mode capabilities.  Thank you for your patience a s we resolve our issues related to entering and exiting island mode. On-si te personnel will include the original electrical engineer who designed th e system\, ASCO technicians and a new company that brings more resiliency and oversight for Utilities and Energy. We will also be conducting buildi ng level tests at seven different locations.  The individual buildings li sted below will be without power\, and network access\, for 75-120 minutes .  All technology advice pertaining to the Island Mode Testing\, which wi ll be happening throughout the day\, applies to this as well.  The work t o be performed includes breaker testing and repair\, electrical system rep airs\, transfer switch test and repairs\, arc flash hazard study data gath ering\, programmable logic updates\, replace inoperative equipment\, and r e-torque main lugs.  Users of these buildings will receive notifications before and after each test. 8:00 - 9:45 am               Vol canology Hall and Columbia Hall10:00 – 12:00 noon      Susan Campbe ll Hall and Gerlinger Hall12:30 - 1:45 pm              Fenton Hall and Condon Hall1:45 - 3:00 pm               McKenzie Hall               Island Mode Testing Schedule: 8:00 am – Start island mode8:15 am – Exit island mode8:30 am – Start island mode8:45 am – Exit island mode 9:00 am – Start island mode9:15 am – Exit island mode9:30 am – Start island mode9:45 am – Exit island mode  10:00 am – Start island mode10:15 am – Exit island mode10:30 am - St art island mode10:45 am – Exit island mode 11:00 am – Start island mo de11:15 am – Exit island mode11:30 am – Start island mode11:45 am – Exit island mode 12:00 noon – LUNCH BREAK.  NO TEST.12:15 pm – LUNCH BREAK.

During the p ower testing:  Expect: Intermittent network outages.  Possible: Localize d lingering network outages may occur if network devices fail. If so\, Inf ormation Services staff will post notices on the IT Service Status website .  Recovery will begin after Campus Planning and Facilities Management ha s completed all testing. Restoration could take a day or longer.    Dev ices To protect sensitive electronic devices\, Information Services recom mends turning them off and unplugging them before testing begins. Such dev ices can be damaged by the power surge when power is turned back on. S urge protectors\, while helpful\, don’t guarantee that devices will be p reserved. Preparations may be handled by the User Support Services team i n Information Services\, by departmental IT staff or by other departmental staff\, depending on existing patterns of support.  Faculty and staff sh ould shut down and unplug research equipment\, multifunction copiers\, dig ital display panels and other sensitive electronics in their areas.  In m ost cases\, local staff should shut down and unplug departmental audiovisu al equipment\, such as in departmentally controlled classrooms and confere nce rooms. Information Services staff will shut down audiovisual equipmen t in general pool and joint-controlled classrooms scheduled by the Office of the Registrar.   Recovery  After receiving the message announcing th e end of testing\, employees will receive an email announcing the testing has concluded. At that point\, employees can turn on sensitive electronic devices and departmental audiovisual equipment. Information Services staf f will turn on audiovisual equipment in general pool and joint-controlled classrooms\, prioritizing spaces with active classes. That process could t ake several days. To request faster service restoration for specific class rooms\, people can submit a ticket at classroom technology support.   An yone with questions about technology impacts and preparations should conta ct the
