    MGHPCC will be upgrading power on Pod 7c Even Side on October 4th - October 5th. ETA to end 7:30 PM Oct 5th. This necessitates idling half the nodes on that side of the pod. A blocking reservation has been put in place to accomplish this. No jobs will be canceled but users will notice degraded scheduling throughput due to half the nodes being closed in the following partitions:
