2022-05-03..04: Enlargement of the building's power distribution complex

Further refurbishing of the cooling system in the HPC building L5|08 requires this building's power distribution complex to be enlarged. As this can only be done while the complex is free of current/power, the whole building (incl. housing) will suffer repeated power outages. Therefore, the whole HPC cluster including login nodes will be shut down completely during these works.
