Upgrades on RAMMT systems have continued this quarter.  Systems are being upgraded from older Windows NT/Windows 98 to Windows 2000.  Also some older hardware has been upgraded including RAM, disk space, and tape drives.

The monthly security patch upgrades have been installed on all RAMMT HP workstations. McIDAS-X 7.801 has also been installed in preparation for GOES-12 checkout.

Installation of D2D and D3D AWIPS software on the VISIT displaced real time (DRT) case study workstation has been completed. This workstation will be used for AWIPS two- and three-dimensional display software for meteorological case study development. Ongoing system maintenance and security patches have been installed.

B. Motta installed the software for use with a Smart-Uninterruptible Power Supply (S-UPS). The S-UPS constantly monitors power usage and supply and can automatically shut down the system after a power failure if the power is not restored. This UPS is connected to the new VISIT Linux Case Study Computer.
