JOBS List
The systems listed below (in either list) are keepers. The others will be recycled.
Normal Jobs

- AMD K6/2, 300 MHz processor or faster
- AMD K6/3, 300 MHz processor or faster
Low End Jobs
- 286 (Intel)
- 386 (Intel)
- 486 (Intel)
Processing KEEPERS
- What kind of job is it?
- If it's a low end job (not a normal job -- see above), remove hard drive
- Power up the system and ensure it POSTs. (It will likely fail to boot since there's no hard drive.)
- If it's a normal job (not a low end job -- see above), replace hard drive(s) with a single, pre-wiped 6-8 gig drive
- pre-wiped 6-8 gig drives can be gotten from a build instructor from the TARDIS
- Power up the system and ensure it recognizes the hard drive during startup
- If it's a low end job (not a normal job -- see above), remove hard drive
- 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 keeper systems:
- All non-proprietary cards (AGP, PCI, ISA, etc) except the video card
- All loose cables
- CD-ROM drives marked 40x or higher on the faceplate
- All CD-RW and DVD drives
- Label with processor type and speed (i.e. "K6/2 300" or "486 33", etc.)
Incompatibles
- Amiga
- Apple, etc:
- Mac
- Radius
- PowerPC
- PowerComputing
- Commodore
