The file server will be patched and rebooted every Wednesday (Note: Not Tuesday as it was before) from 7:00 am to 9:00 am. If you are using a cluster or UNIX system during this time you will not need to do anything specific since UNIX systems can tolerate the server rebooting. Windows, and Mac people will need to disconnect from the server. This is done by dragging the hard disk icon to the Trash, or ejecting the disk in the Finder if you are a Mac user. If you are a Windows user, you should right click the harddrive icon in My Computer and choose "Disconnect". If you do not wish to log out of the server, then please at least close Word and other applications that are actively using files on the server. Finally, SFTP users will also need to log out.
