Lightning Shutdown, Short Version: Updated 2/15/19

Changes coming out of Downtime 2018

  1. We have an “always on” UPS now, which feeds a power strip above BokAux. The Aux computer, the WIFI, BokPOP, and the phones are all plugged into this power strip which means these are now always left on. You can use BokAux now to keep an eye on the weather by pulling up the weather sites bookmarked on the computer in Firefox.
  2. BokCCD2 is now the main Azcam computer for both the B&C and 90Prime instruments. We are going to have a spare Azcam Login machine (BokCCD4) in the future. The username and password to get in are the same as before.
  3. There is no longer an UPS under the counter feeding console power. There is a new UPS in the black computer rack labeled “Console UPS” To shut this down you press the on/off button and select “Off Immediately” with the OK button. This takes a while to shut off. When you turn it back on using the power button, you must use the arrow keys and OK button to choose “On Immediately” or it will not turn on.
  4. The weather computer is now password protected, and the password is posted on the monitor. You turn on the weather computer by pressing the top edge of the left hand corner (it's beveled at a 45 degree angle), of the PC mounted on the wall next to the monitor.
