Basic Computer setup
(Local person Required)
Plug in, connect all components, and turn on the system. Place stickers by each of the ethernet ports: the stock port should be labeled "Internet Connection" while the auxiliary bay that houses the extra network card should be labeled "Idrive Wireless". The internet feed should be connected to the "Internet Connection" port, not the "Idrive Wireless" port.
Basic initial system identification
The particular order and questions will vary depending on the system.
- Computer Name: Idrive_base
- User Name: Idriveadm
- Password: 111111
(password hint: six 1’s)
- Set windows to install updates automatically
- Do not worry about network type or time zone, for now.
- The computer should eventually come to a point where you can log in as Idriveadm
- Log on and verify internet connectivity
