LOGISTICS

  1. If possible, count the number of XO's at the airport and note any physical damage
  2. Transport XO's to storage area
  3. Write the serial number with a marker at the underside of the XO. The serial number can be found after removing the battery. (e.g SHF8060099D)
  4. Assign a label to the XO (e.g OLEN.XO.1) make sure that both the label and the serial number has been noted in paper.
    • You can use a marker and a tape to stick the label at the front of the XO.
    • The label is best put in the green cover on top of the screen, between the two antennas.
  5. Laptops should be kept systematically with a certain range of XO's in a certain shelf. (e.g OLEN.XO.1 - OLEN.XO.10 should be kept in the same shelf)
  6. Activate all laptops. (http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Activation_and_Developer_Keys#Getting_devkey_data_via_USB_stick)
  7. Power up a laptop and hit the ESC key to enter forth. Type "test-all". This will test all components of the laptop.
  8. If there is a bad component write that the laptop is bad and the name of the bad component beside the label using a red marker and a piece of tape.
  9. To install the image, put the customized image (osXXX.img) and the crc file (osXXX.crc) at the root of the USB key.
