Finish¶
- Shutdown target and re-open Hall for Monday
Notes¶
*It is possible that people working in Rack Room 2 on the tracker will request a controlled access to the Hall.
If this is done the standard procedure (in a checklist) must be followed.
*There will be no offline reconstruction between 4pm and 12am on Saturday afternoon/evening. This is not a problem
for the shifters.
