While performing planned maintenance on the security computer, the computer unexpectedly froze. As a result, compensatory actions were implemented and a site unusual event was declared. Further review has determined that the security event was misclassified. The security computer froze due to equipment malfunction caused by a hardware issue, not a security threat.
