For spring/summer
2004, faculty can select from 13 different configurations of Dell and
Apple computers with Windows XP Professional and Macintosh OS OS X operating
systems.
Baseline models (2004-01, 2004-03, 2004-07, 2004-10, 2004-11) are supplied
by default at no charge. All Other models require an additional departmental
payment as indicated. By default, a baseline desktop computer will be
supplied for all participants (named or unnamed) for whom no information
has been supplied by December 19, 2003.
Computer delivery will begin in late March, 2004. If the "pre-install"
option was selected, delivery will be be delayed until May. See below.
For detailed information about computer warranty, please go to FDI
Hardware Support. Detailed 2004 warranty information will be posted
prior to spring delivery.
Software installation
and computer delivery options:
In recognition of many requests for self-installation and configuration
of software, and to expedite early spring delivery of computers to faculty,
FDI no longer pre-installs software on the computers. Instead, CD-ROMs are
provided for all FDI software (see list below) so that faculty, or their
departmental support person, can install the software in a manner that best
suits their personal preferences.
Those faculty who would prefer someone else install the software should
first ask for assistance from their departmental technical support staff.
If not feasible, they can request that their computer arrive with software
already installed by FDI. This pre-install option must be selected during
the FDI registration process in December. Please note that selecting the
pre-installed software option means your computer will not be delivered
until mid-May or later
Delivery Option #1
FDI will deliver the computer in early Spring and each individual faculty
or department technical support will install software from CD-ROMs supplied
by FDI.
Delivery Option #2
FDI will deliver the computer after May 17 and each individual faculty or
department technical support will install software from CD-ROMs supplied
by FDI.
Delivery Option #3
FDI will deliver the computer after May 17 with standard software to be
installed by FDI (CD-ROMs will still be provided).
