YEAR END COMPUTER STORAGE

You are responsible for getting your computers cleaned up and ready for summer storage.  Here are things that you need to do to get them ready:

1. Clean the outsides of the computers, monitors, keyboards and mice with a clean cloth with rubbing alcohol on it.  DO NOT PUT ALCOHOL DIRECTLY ON THE EQUIPMENT.  (I have rubbing alcohol available in my office is you need to borrow it.)
2. Remove all mice from the computer and wrap the cords around the mice.
3. Remove all keyboards from the computer and wrap the cords around the keyboards.
4. Unplug all computers, monitors and printers from electrical outlets.  Put all strip protectors on the computer tables so they don’t get lost.
5. Unplug the network wire from the wall.  BE SURE TO MARK WHERE YOU ARE TAKING IT OUT OF THE WALL SO YOU KNOW WHERE TO PLUG IT IN NEXT SCHOOL YEAR.
6.  If you have more than one computer in your classroom, you need to organize the network wires so they don’t get all tangled up when the janitors move the computers out of your room.  The janitors move one table at a time, so no wires can be connected between two tables.  I would recommend unplugging the network wires from the hub and wrapping them around the monitor.
7.  Be sure to leave all computer equipment with the computers so work can be done on your computers during the summer.
8. COVER ALL COMPUTER EQUIPMENT (computers, monitors, printers, scanners, etc.) WITH SHEETS.
