Unplanned maintenance outage: Thursday, July 26 - 7:00PM Central (00:00 UTC)

*** Border Router Upgrade (2 minutes of downtime) ***
On Thursday, July 26, Argonne will be doing a border router upgrade. As 
a result, packets are expected to be dropped or delayed for 
approximately 90 seconds on late Thursday night. ALCF users’ terminals 
may appear to be unresponsive during this time. It shouldn't cause your 
connection to drop entirely. File transfers will be similarly impacted. 
Please contact support at alcf.anl.gov with any questions, comments, or 
concerns.

*** ALCF Website Upgrade (1 hour of downtime) ***
During the border router upgrade, the support staff also will be 
improving reliability and performance on the web server by replacing key 
hardware. We expect only the ALCF main website (www.alcf.anl.gov) to be 
down for 1 hour during this upgrade.
