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

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

AMD K6, 300 MHz processor or faster
AMD K6/2, 300 MHz processor or faster
AMD K6/3, 300 MHz processor or faster
Pentiums (note, this means Pentium I procs, not Pentium II or higher, but they are just marked "Pentium")

Ensure all major case parts are present (i.e. side and front panel)
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 instructure from the TARDIS
- 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 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
- All CD-RW and DVD drives
Label with processor type and speed (i.e. "K6/2 300" or "Pentium 233", etc.)
