| Time | Description |
| Friday, September 5 | |
| 07:00 | SG-J1 bus tie removal and emergency power reconfiguration (remove generator) begins. SG-J2 is not bus-tied and SG-J3 will remain bus-tied. |
| 07:00 | Reconfigure Bldg. 420 LOTO to 1400V keys. All locks off of 13.2kV. |
| 08:00 | SG-R1 and SG-R2 bus-tie removal. |
| 09:00 | Controls Group begins recovery of all IOCs and timing. |
| 09:00 | Tunnel walk-through sign-offs completed for tunnel closure. HP begins shielding checks. |
| 09:15 | SG-A1 bus-tie removal. |
| 10:00 | Tunnel closures begin. Linac/PAR tunnel search. |
| 10:00 | FAC to begin SG-Xn (SR mezz switchgears) bus-tie removal. |
| 10:30 | Booster tunnel search. Linac/PAR switchgear rack-in begins. |
| 11:00 | Zone F tunnel search. Booster switchgear rack-in begins. |
| 11:30 | SR tunnel searches. |
| 12:00 | Zone F switchgear (except dipole) rack-in begins. |
| 12:30 | SR ACIS "Test mode" live test. Prerequisites include all tunnels in Beam Permit, stops open, and BTS:AB on. The test will require Booster RF, Booster dipole, SR RF, and SR dipole off and will result in SR tunnel re-searches. |
| 12:30 | SG-R3 and North Feeder switchgears. |
| 13:00 | Begin equipment turn-on for ACIS validations. Bldg. 420 RF systems turn-on will begin after feeders are energized. Other machines/equipment should begin earlier, depending upon Controls Group progress. |
| 13:30 | SR switchgear (including dipole) rack-in begins. |
| 14:00 | ACIS validations begin. |
| 15:30 | SG-Xn switchgear bus-tie removals complete. |
| 15:30-24:00 | RF and PS Groups equipment checkout/conditioning. |
| 16:00-20:00 | ID testing |
