Processing KEEPERS

1. 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
2. Quickly place pulled hard drives into storage
   • Storage for pulled hard drives is located between System Eval 1 and System Eval 2
3. 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
4. Label with processor type and speed (i.e. "K6/2 300" or "Pentium 233", etc.)
