Instructions for updating inventory records of scrapped, stock, and missing machines

Scrapped Machines

For machines that have been or will be scrapped (disposed/ disposal), update their inventory records as follows:

...

Stock Machines

For machines that are in stock, inventory conventions are as follows:

...

Update BIOS
Change "Integrated NIC" setting to "Enabled" (not Enable w/ PXE) and turn on "SMART reporting"
Find warranty and MAC address (BIOS->System Info)
Wipe disk partitions
Remove any old labels and physically clean machine if necessary

Occasionally while performing inventory, we will have machines which we cannot find in person, but that we do not believe have been scrapped.

...

Leave everything in the record in the same with the following exceptions:
General Notes:
- Date marked missing
- Room, building, group, machine function, and machine name.
Machine Function: "Missing"
Clear Room, Building, and Group fields (To ensure that we are not billing groups for missing machines).
Clear Machine Name (To ensure easier searching and parsing of records).
IMPORTANT: Do not modify the Verified Date. That date is reserved for hands-on/ visual confirmation of the machine's existence.
