    Here's the notice I got from our server provider:

    "On Thursday, February 24th, a group of servers located at our Datacenter 1 location will be migrated to remote reboot strips. (...)

    The migration is scheduled to take place between 0700 and 1700 CST (-0600 GMT). Part of the process will involve removing and replacing your power cable. We highly recommend that you perform full backups of your system prior to this maintenance window. The estimated downtime for each server will be no more than 20 minutes. Our technicians will verify that migrated servers are powered up properly and continue to function smoothly."

    Considering the maintenance window is quite extensive, there's really no telling when exactly the server will go down, but I'll try to be around to see it through without any problems. Or so I hope, anyway.

    I'll be making backups of everything in less than half an hour, at which time the boards will also go down for a thread rebuild. The time that the boards will be down will be about 1-2 hours. Thank you for your patience!
