<p>Power has now been restored to the machine room and

most CSC systems and services are now available, with the exception

of:</p>

<li>
|
|
<b>sucrose and taurine</b>
|
|
<br />
|
|
We are currently unable to access to servers remotely. To restore

these servers, we need a visit to the machine room to identify and
|
|
resolve boot issues.

<em>As of Sept. 5, taurine is available again with reduced RAM.</em>

<p>While power has been restored to the Math & Computer Building (MC),
|
|
power is not yet available in the machine room. As a result,
|
|
most CSC services are still unavailable at this time.</p>
|
|
<p>The current estimate for power is Saturday, Sept. 1.</p>
|
|
<p>Currently, due to machines located in other buildings and

emergency generator power to select machines in MC, the following

services are currently available:</p>
