SCSI Hard Drive sorting is done in Advanced Test.

Start

We sort mostly by size & speed, but also serve special requests from buyers.

Triage Chart

This is a graph with borders and nodes. Maybe there is an Imagemap used so the nodes may be linking to some Pages.

What to do when done, where to put them

NEVER leave unwiped Hard Drives sitting around - this is a violation of Free Geek's data security policy.

Keepers: Put them on the "SCSI HD INCOMING" shelf, or, IF AND ONLY IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR DRIVES TO TEST RIGHT NOW,; take them to the SCSI HD testing station in Advanced Test and test them.
Recycle: Pound them with a hammer until the platters are undoubtedly too bent to be read.; Take them to the warehouse and put them on the "HARD DRIVES" shelf, or put them in the Hard Drive Recycle bucket in Advanced Test.; NEVER MIX THEM WITH THE REJECT HARD DRIVES IN EVAL1! This will interfere with successful Hard Drive Sorting in Eval1.

-== Testing Power Supplies ==
+== Testing SCSI Hard Drives ==
-Use a standard ATX power supply tester for a 20 pin ATX power supply. If you have a 24 pin ATX power supply, send it to advanced testing instead.
+link to be added here
-For each power supply that needs to be tested, do these things:
+== What to do when done, where to put them ==
-# Plug each power supply into outlet
-# If there is a rear power supply switch, make sure it is turned on.
-# Connect the tester to the 20 pin ATX connector
-#* Check lights (all lights on is good, but it is also OK if the -5V light is off)
-# Connect the tester to the 4 pin ATX connector
-#* Check to see if the +12V light is on
