Priorities for legacy systems

if the computer does not fit the criteria on this page that is a reason for recycling it
The Priority is top to bottom

  • Ensure all major case parts are present (i.e. side and front panel)
  • Replace hard drive(s) with a single, pre-wiped 6 gig drive
  • Power up the system and ensure it recognizes the hard drive during startup
  • Quickly place pulled hard drives into storage
      • Storage for pulled hard drives is located between System Eval 1 and System Eval 2
  • Things to remove from AMD K6/2 keeper systems:
    • All nonproprietary cards (AGP, PCI, ISA, etc) except the video card
    • All loose cables
    • CD-ROM drives marked 40x or higher on the faceplate

** NOTE: We should consider placing a whiteboard in Legacy Evaluation where we can list additional instructions that are subject to change, such as when to pull the following items not listed above:

    • Tape drives
    • ZIP drives
    • Floppy drives

386 486 P

  • recycle if case is missing parts or dirty
