Request to participate in the ITS Computer Cascade Program

Cluster Computers for Sale

Information Technology Services will be replacing a number of computers this summer. Campus departments may purchase these computers to use for replacing faculty and staff machines.

Objectives of the Computer Replacement Program:

• Reduce support costs by replacing old departmental computers;
• Remove the old computers and operating systems from campus.

Since one objective is to replace old departmental computers with newer computers, preference will be given to requests that have a departmental computer to trade in.

Step 1: Determine which computer will be traded in to ITS.

• It must be in use by an employee in the department
• It must be connected to the NDSU network.
• Preference will be given to older trade-in computers (5 years or older)
  

  Note: Preference will be given to requests that have a departmental computer to trade in, however if the department has no system to trade in, there still may be systems available.

Step 2: Complete the request form by the close of the business day on May 16th, 2008.

You will need to:

• Include information about the trade-in computer:
  inventory number, model, operating system and location.

Notes:

• The computers are no longer under manufacturer's warranty, unless otherwise noted.

• ITS will test the computers to determine that they are in good working condition, but no warranty is given or implied, unless otherwise noted..

• Some computers may not be available until the end of July.
