Rescheduling - Network Hardware Upgrade
Our HSC Network team will be preforming hardware upgrades on Sunday, May 15, 2022 beginning at 9:00 a.m. This work is expected to last throughout the day. These hardware upgrades will improve network stability for our Tricore Laboratory interfaces and Phillips Monitor interfaces. Please insure that all personnel who will be working on Saturday, May 14 are aware of this network upgrade.
Impact to Users During Upgrade:
• The Network team DOES NOT anticipate a downtime for the Tricore Laboratory System or Phillips monitors.
• If a downtime occurs, additional communications will be sent via email and the Cerner Banner.
• Users may experience random, short lived delays to these systems as the upgrade work is completed.
• Users may experience issues accessing the PACS archive system during this upgrade.
We recognize that this type of work can be disruptive to workflow. Thank you for your cooperation and patience while with work with our vendor to complete this hardware upgrade. We believe the new hardware will improve your work experience. If you experience issues with systems other than Tricore and Phillips during this upgrade work, please contact the Service Desk at 2-DATA (272-3282) or via the intranet at https://requestit.uhapps.health.unm.edu/.
