Maintenance detail:
The maintenance process will include switching the network switch from the current facing rear side to the front face of the rack.

The maintenance process are listed below:

1. We had prepared a temporary switch so that we can swap the cable to the temporary switch
2. The actual switch will be unmounted and move to the front rack
3. Start to unplug the cable
4. Pull to the front and plug back to the actual network switch
   
   

During the process of step 3 to 4, there will be network downtime around 10~15 minutes where all of your server services will be unavailable.
We have estimated the whole process will take around 30~45 minutes to complete where the Network downtime will take around 10~15 minutes.
