As there is now remote access available to this lab – following the booking rules is not just good manners!
- Book only the times you will actually be using the computer.
- Book in single day bookings, unless you are running a large processing job that really will be running for 24+ hours.
- Cancel bookings you made and are not using.
- Use the Calendar if you are using a computer in person – by dropping in or because you planned to!
- Use the Calendar if you are using a computer remotely – spur of the moment or because you planned to!
- ALWAYS CHECK THE CALENDAR and DO NOT SHUTDOWN COMPUTERS.
- If you are in the lab and there is nobody seated in front of a computer, that does NOT mean it is not being used.
- Computers will be restarted regularly, but do a restart if you need to. Please make sure the computer is on when you leave it. If you think you may have accidentally shutdown a computer, contact support at salportal.com
