<strong>Main Report or Narrative:</strong>

Tues 10/18: I got the extra computers and other junk ready for asset disposal. I had to write down the asset tag, model name, and remove any wireless cards if possible. Much of the old computers were Acer 5100/5700/5500d. There were also some extra printers and monitors that needed to be removed.

Thurs 10/20: I tried fixing the two Dell computers by switching hard drives again. However the extra hard drive I found also had an error. During diagnostics it returned error code 4. The two Dell computers are still broken; one does not have a hard drive and the other turns blank after start up.

Fri 10/21: Cleaned up the computer lab.

Tues 10/25: A computer in the office was having trouble with slow internet. I restarted the computer and installed Chrome. This seemed to fix the slow connection. Room 119 had a printer issue. It was fairly simple procedure of uninstalling and reinstalling the printer driver. One of the computers was also freezing up due to age. I just told them to be patient and not keep on clicking if a program was running since it would slow down the computer even more. I also set up HP1022n printer on a Windows 7 computer in room216. Thankfully HP had a downloadable driver for the printer which made the set up painless.

Thurs 10/27: I tried installing another printer in room 218?. This was the room that needed Windows Update to get the driver for a Win7 computer. I tried switching to HP930c but it too needed an Windows Update to get the driver. Instead of trying to hook up the printer to a Win7 computer I just installed the HP6122 printer on an older Dell XP computer. Should have done that the first time. Sara came in and gave me the task of cataloging the asset tags of all the computers in Fermi. The first method of checking the asset number with the list of assets for Fermi was not efficient. We thought it be better to go into all the rooms and just write down the asset and serial number.

Fri 10/28: A week of late night and all night studying caught up with me. I felt sick and did not go. When I do go back I have to catalog the Fermi assets.
