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 instructure 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:
