Power supply sorting is done in System Evaluation.

Create a temporary place for two piles:

Follow the triage flow chart below to determine which pile to put the power supply in. You will need to test some power supplies to do this.

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

Get the ATX power supply tester from a Build Coordinator (Dave or Martin), or ask any staff member. You can also check and see if the store has one. If you can't find a tester...move on to a different project, one will turn up eventually.
For each power supply that needs to be tested, do these things:
1. Plus each power supply into outlet
2. Connect the tester to the ATX connector
3. Check lights (solid lights are good)
4. Put failures in Recycle pile (as directed in the Triage chart)
When finished, give the power supply tester back to Build Coordinator

Power supplies in your Recycle pile go straight to Recycling after they are signed off by the Eval instructor.

Keepers: Mark them OKFG with a sharpie; Take them to the warehouse and put them in the POWER SUPPLIES TO KEEP location
Recycle: Take them to the warehouse and put them in the POWER SUPPLIES TO RECYCLE location
