Surplus Computer Equipment

Surplus and Transfer Equipment
Any computer equipment being that is being relocated, transferred or surplused must be processed through PC Services using the Equipment Inventory Change Request (EICR) form. Failure to accomplish this results in the equipment remaining on your organization’s asset inventory and also resulting in being charged for maintenance support on that equipment. To surplus or transfer equipment:

• Complete an Equipment Inventory Change Request (EICR) Form available at: http://www.jmu.edu/acctgserv/surplus_computer.shtml
• Contact PC Services to schedule an equipment pick up at 568.3160 or pcservices@jmu.edu .

After PC Services picks up surplus equipment, they do three checks on the hardware to:

• Ensure operability of the equipment
• Ensure all data is removed off any storage device
• Check feasibility of recycling or salvage

Surplus handling has a lower priority than equipment repair, thus, requests are filled as time and personnel allow. PC Services does not repair units that are inoperable and turned in as surplus.

Recycling & Redistribution Requests
PC Services receives and monitors requests for equipment recycling and redistribution. Requests are filled on a first come, first served basis. Units must meet the minimum requirements for recycling and redistribution which include:

• 1 Ghz processor
• 512 MB of memory
• 30 GB Hard Drive
• CD-RW

Units that do not meet the minimum requirements may be redistributed at a customers request but will not receive maintenance support and when repair is required will be processed and prepared for salvage. Departments desiring to upgrade their units (i.e. hard drives or memory) can do so at their own expense.
