Special mining is done in Eval 2. It is intended for systems that would otherwise be recycled. That is, if a system is a keeper, use the regular mining process -- not this special mining process.

  • Remove all the cards that regular mining would have you remove.
  • Remove the hard drive.
    • Be sure to leave drive rails with the system.
  • Remove the CD Drive and floppy drive (unless they are proprietarily built into the case).
    • Be sure to leave drive rails with the system.
  • Remove the motherboard (and take to advanced testing).

What to do with the case

Once the motherboard has been removed we need to decide what should happen to the case itself.

Standard complete cases
If the case is a standard, non-name-brand case with all its side panels, etc., label it with a HOLD FOR STORE sticker and put it on the cart. No paperwork is necessary.
