Surplusing
University Computers
The State
of Arkansas, Act 1410, Section 4. (a)(2) mandates that
"all hard drives of
surplus computer equipment be degaussed, cleared
of all data, software,
and be otherwise prepared for sale within (90)
days after replacement."
Each department on campus is required to
meet these sanitation
guidelines for all surplus hard drives. The UA
Surplus Warehouse
department has been instructed to refuse any
computer that is not
sanitation certified.
To ensure compliance,
a new campus-wide procedure is effective immediate
To expedite the pick
up of surplus computers from campus departments, the
UA Surplus Warehouse
is partnering with Computing Services to handle the
process at no charge
or extra work for departments.
After equipment has
been entered into the on line Surplus System a
Technician will remove
all hard drives at the department. After hard
drives have been removed,
computers will then be transported to the Surplus
Warehouse either by
PHPL or a Surplus staff member.
For more information
on these procedures contact Wenoah Goodson
