| Dear COE New Computer User:
Education IT will be coming to your office soon to
install a new computer! To ensure the smoothest transition possible, we
request that you take the following preparatory steps:
- Please backup your personal documents (use a Zip
disk or CD-R if available). We will be very careful when transferring
your documents to the new computer, however we cannot be responsible for lost
documents. Please, please back up! :-)
- Please consolidate all of the personal documents
that you wish us to transfer to the new computer into your My Documents
folder (things like Word, Excel, and PowerPoint documents). You do
not need to copy program files. All personalized email
settings and preferences will be transferred and preserved, including
bookmarks, address books, email, etc.
- Please leave written instructions for any
data or document folders that we should transfer that are not in your My
Documents folder.
- If you have purchased programs that should be
installed, please have disks and licenses available at the time of
installation. We are unable to install software that is not legally
owned.
- Please clear office workspace surrounding your
computer and desk. If you have any accessories that you have purchased
or attached to your computer such as an anti-glare screen, document holder,
special mouse pad, digital camera, or external Firewire/USB device, please
remove them from the computer.
 Shareware and
freeware: Third party shareware or freeware programs are unpredictable
and often poorly written. These programs can damage essential system
files which are required for the computer to run. For this reason, we
will not install or transfer any software that has not been purchased or
legally licensed by Purdue. This includes 3rd party screen savers, desktop
wallpaper, animated mouse icons, "demo" programs and Window's theme packages
that are not included with the Operating System.
During the installation we will:
- Install Office productivity and email/Internet software
on your new computer.
- Copy your My Documents, Windows Profile ,
and Email profile folders from the old computer (and perform any written instructions).
- Set old hardware aside and set up new computer
hardware.
- Transfer your user files onto the new computer (and
perform any written instructions).
- Configure your printer.
After the installation, you may expect the following:
- A short training session for using the new computer, if
needed.
- Your old computer should remain in your office for
approx. 1 week while you verify that all files and data have been transferred
properly.
- Your department will be responsible for sending old
equipment to salvage or completing property accounting forms to transfer
equipment to another office.
Thank you for allowing us to serve your technology needs!
If you have any questions please feel free to send us email...
