On Saturday afternoon the air conditioning unit on the east side of SBC
stopped functioning. As you can imagine the temperature in all labs and
offices on increased rapidly without AC. The NMR consoles produce a
lot of heat and there are several components that are susceptible to
damage if this heat is not dissipated. Hence, I had to shut down both
Yosemite and BigSur consoles. The problem was still not fixed on Sunday
afternoon and the temperature in the room had reached 96 F, so I shut
down workstations to minimize heat in the room.
Hence there is no access to BigSur or Yosemite at the present time, nor
can you get data off of these instruments. If you need access to data,
please check the backup server. I do not know when these instruments
will be available, as the repair of the building AC is beyond my
control.
Kudos to Warren for calling me when the temperature of the room started
to rise or there could have been catastrophic damage to the consoles of
both 400s, the 800 and maybe even a mass spec.
