技术的使用、获取和处置

Use of all College IT resources including computers, 移动设备, 软件, 服务, 和学院网络受 可接受使用政策.

学院设备

LITS keeps an inventory of College equipment.  Computers and some other items are provisioned with a College asset tag.  不去掉这个标签.  If the tag becomes accidentally damaged or detached, contact LITS via the Help Desk and we will provide a replacement.

Computers are provided with a College 软件 configuration including a suite of College 软件, 反病毒/端点保护, 以及其他各种安全设置.  In the future this is likely to also include an encryption suite.  While we allow additional 软件 packages to be installed by individuals, some 软件 and settings are intentionally unalterable.  Your College-owned computer(s) must run a College-provided configuration.  如果你的工作需要变化, speak to your field technician or contact the Help Desk to consult with LITS on an agreeable solution.

We recommend replacing four-year-old or older computers.  We are unable to provide support or assistance for desktop computers older than six years, 以及笔记本电脑.  支持其他设备，如平板电脑, 上网本, 移动设备可能会有所不同, and it may be recommended to replace these with greater frequency; please query as needed.  

Equipment that has aged beyond the ability to run a current Operating System must be removed from the network.  在撰写本文时，Windows 7,8,8.网络中允许使用1和10.  Windows 7 will exit Extended Support on January 14, 2020 and will no longer be allowed on the network at that time.  Macs操作系统为OS 10.允许并支持10及以上版本.  10.9 is permitted at present but has a known security flaw and should be upgraded immediately.

个人电脑

The College is dedicated to providing a primary computer for use by each person who has a job-related need, 如《 Provisioning of 教师/Staff Primary Computers and Computer Replacements 政策.

When a staff or faculty member departs the College, their primary computer returns to the central College equipment pool 不论部门贡献多少. Replacement computers and “upgrade” equipment are part of the College’s central computer pool.  If a position is vacated, the computer returns to 图书馆 & 资讯科技服务 to be securely held for future staff or for use elsewhere in the College.

Department Computers (including secondary, operational, grant, and research equipment)

格兰特, 启动, or research fund equipment returns to LITS upon a faculty member’s departure unless indicated to LITS by the 教务长’s office.  Department purchased equipment remains with the department unless there is no use for it or it or it has aged beyond useful life (see above). 

显示器和打印机

The College has invested in a fleet of shared copiers throughout campus and all employees may use these to print, 无论位置如何.  On rare occasions where a workspace does not have reasonable access to one of these machines, LITS may fund a black and white network printer for this area.  LITS does not fund individual printers and will purchase and/or maintain only some models; please used shared printing resources wherever possible.

Displays are often replaced on the same cycle as computers (as above), but LITS may postpone the replacement of displays, and/or will sometimes ask those who feel their needs are being met by an older display to postpone requesting replacement.  从历史上看, there have been times when display technology has moved more slowly than that of desktop computers and displays have had a useful life of 5-8 years.

弃置无用设备

If your department is no longer using computers or related equipment, please call the Help Desk (help@honforjapan.net, x7440) to arrange for pickup so the items may be properly disposed of (or reused around campus if applicable). This is required of all equipment in the College’s inventory so it may be properly retired. This process includes the proper removal of stored data if applicable.

For other equipment (such as a personal computer or device, TV, printer, 等.), 无论是大学的还是个人的, it is environmentally irresponsible and often illegal to throw these items in the regular trash. We are happy to arrange for the proper disposal of these items; contact the Help Desk (help@honforjapan.net, x7440). Do not place any items which may contain your data or any College files in a tech recycling box. Data should be properly removed before disposal. Tech recycling boxes around campus are not provided by LITS.

LITS does not re-sell equipment to community members.  We dispose of equipment via donation to local non-profits (no 软件 provided), 通过一个负责任的回收商.
