IT services

On Sunday, April 6 and Sunday, April 13, the power will be switched off throughout the university from 8 am until probably 1 pm.

This will have the following effects on the operation of central FIM computers and FIM IT services:

FIM computer pools: The computers in the FIM computer pools will be switched off at 3pm on the Saturdays before the power cuts and will not be available again until the following Monday. Please note that the IM building cannot be accessed via the card reading system on the days of the power cuts.

FIM IT services such as Git, Mail, Mattermost, DNS, DHCP, LDAP etc.: All central FIM IT services will be switched off at 4pm on the Saturdays before the power cuts and will then be available again on Sunday evening.

In the section "IT-Services" you will get an overview for IT services provided by the FIM IT support.

Information for new users can be found in the login and account area. Here you will learn, among other things, how to create your FIM Account. This forms the basis for the use of many IT services offered by the FIM  IT-Support. In order to get an overview over some basic services please have a look at the webpage First Steps.

We also offer introductory computer courses especially for first-year students as part of the FIM-Orientation-Weeks. The course materials (only in german) are still available for download after completion of the Orientation-weeks, so that they can then be worked on in self-study. In order to get access to the course material please register in StudIP for course 5000.

For students, we offer PC pools with FIM-specific software environments. For research and teaching we offer virtualization resources, file services and various online services (Git, Mattermost...).

In addition, we advise and support FIM chairs and institutions in planning and operating their local IT structures. For this purpose, we have established a number of services which we are happy to offer you on request. We also offer technical support to professors and staff within the scope of our resources. This includes, for example, equipment rental (tools, adapters, beamers) or help with the installation of servers.

In the software area we would like to point out centrally provided license software. For example, we provide the product Matlab for students (on pool computers) as well as for professors and employees (for use and installation on their local workstation).

In the Remote Access section you will find tools that are useful for accessing our computers from home.
