MDM Trouble Report for 2008 Feb 9

Telescope: 2.4m
Observer(s): Nathan Crockett and John Tobin (University of Michigan)
Instrument: 8K

Problem(s) Encountered:
Just before I was going to take sky flats at dawn the mirror 
support pc began to beap. When I entered the computer room the
pc kept displaying an error message that stated that the 
sensors were not repsonding and that I should shut it down. I 
was reluctant to do this because I thought it might deflate the
airbags and I might damage the telescope. I called Bob at around 7
am or so (sorry Bob!) and he told me to type  QQ  and shut down 
the computer. I did this, then restarted the computer. The error 
remained so I shut down the mirror support pc and shut down the
telescope like normal.
