Preparing Computing Systems for Moving
Disconnect computing system components on the previous business day or the day of a planned relocation, whichever is suitable to your facilities coordinator. Computing systems must be gathered and placed in a common area of the office being vacated.
Preparing a New Location
Determine if network outlets must be activated or reconfigured to receive the new computing equipment. Other areas of assessment will include power, network and peripheral cabling, and air flow. If additional equipment is needed to accommodate computer systems in the new location, ITS will provide recommendations. In the event that items must be purchased, customers are responsible for supplying an Oracle String to procure the items.
Moving Assistance
A facilities coordinator or a campus supplier is recommended to conduct the physical move. For cross-building relocations, as well as relocations involving a large number of staff, utilizing professional movers is required. For small or nearby relocations, facilities coordinators will move the computing equipment.
Reconnecting Computing Systems
After the affected computing systems arrive in the new location, ITS will reconnect devices in the same configuration as they were previously unless the customer requests a change.
Verifying Operation
Before closing a relocation request, ITS will verify the proper operation of computing systems in the new location. Customers are encouraged to contact ITS if any problems arise.
