Guidelines for PC Portable Lab
In order to facilitate ease of use and prolong the life of
the equipment, we ask that you please observe these guidelines concerning
the usage of the PC Portable Computer Lab.
Set-up
-
Position the Lab Cart within reach of a wall outlet and
plug in the power cord. I
- Unplug the computers from their power supplies inside the
cart, and distribute them to the students.
Projecting
- Connect the instructor machine to the projector with the
provided VGA cable. Power on the projector first, followed by the
laptop.
- Use the "Input" button on the projector until you get the
desired projection. You may also use the Fn + F8 keys on the computer to
toggle video settings.
Take-Down
- At the end of class, students should close all
programs and shut down the computer using the Start -> Shut Down menu on the
taskbar. Closing the lid DOES NOT shut down the computer
but puts it into a sleep mode that slowly discharges the battery and keeps
programs loaded.
- Place the laptops, turned off, into the Lab Cart with the
rear of the computer facing to the right, and connect them to their power
sources.
- Return the Lab Cart to the Curriculum Library, or if the
library is closed, to another secure location. Connect the power
cord to a wall outlet to ensure that all of the laptops are fully recharged
for the next class session.
