==LOGISTICS==
<br />
# If possible, count the number of XO's at the airport and note any physical damage
*'''[[OLE_Nepal/Deployment_guide/Support_and_Maintenance|SUPPORT AND MAINTENANCE]]'''
# Transport XO's to storage area
<br />
# 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)
*'''[[OLE_Nepal/Deployment_guide/Training|TRAINING]]'''
# 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.
<br />
#* You can use a marker and a tape to stick the label at the front of the XO.
*'''[[OLE_Nepal/Deployment_guide/Connectivity|CONNECTIVITY]]'''
#* The label is best put in the green cover on top of the screen, between the two antennas.
<br />
# 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)
*'''[[OLE_Nepal/Deployment_guide/Customizing|CUSTOMIZATION]]'''
# Activate all laptops. (http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Activation_and_Developer_Keys#Getting_devkey_data_via_USB_stick)
<br />
# Power up a laptop and hit the ESC key to enter forth. Type "test-all". This will test all components of the laptop.
*'''[[OLE_Nepal/Deployment_guide/Power|POWER]]'''
# 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.
<br />
# At the OK prompt, type "change-tag LO ne_NP.UTF-8" to change the locale to Nepali.

=== Update firmware/ Install image ===
<br />
# To update firmware type "flash u:\XXXX" where XXXX is the filename including the extension of the firmware.
*'''[[OLE_Nepal/Deployment_guide/Timeline|TIMELINE]]'''
# This will erase all the files currently stored in your XO. To install the image, put the customized image (osXXX.img) and the crc file (osXXX.crc) at the root of the USB key.
# Plug in the USB key and when in forth, type "copy-nand flash u:\osXXX.img". The process will be over in a couple of minutes.
=== Use Traditional Nepali unicode in your XO ===
To change the keyboard setting so that you can type in both English and Nepali. Here's what I did: --[[User:Pradosh|Pradosh]] 10:44, 17 October 2008 (UTC)<br>
* sudo vi /etc/sysconfig/keyboard
* change<br>
XKB_MODEL="olpc"
XKB_LAYOUT="us"
XKB_VARIANT="olpc"
KEYTABLE="us"
to<br>

XKB_MODEL="olpc"
XKB_LAYOUT="us,np"
XKB_VARIANT="olpc2,olpc"
KEYTABLE="us"

* You can now change the the language in which you type with the multiplication/divide button
* To change the keyboard layout to Nepali Traditional type "sudo vi /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/np"
* Change the file to

* Reboot your XO and use the Multiplication/Division key to change input language
* For some reason, switching language doesn't work for the Write activity. This can be solved using the preeti font. The language switching works fine in other activities like chat.

=== Installing individual activities ===
* Boot your XO
* Open the Terminal Activity
* Insert the USB Key
* type "sugar-install-bundle <path of activity.xo>"

==SUPPORT AND MAINTENANCE==
# Familiarize yourself with disassembling the laptop, replacing parts etc.
#*http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Repair
#*http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Disassembly
# Always carry a USB customization key with the customized image and individual activities.
# Test all components of the XO by typing "test-all" at forth.
# Test individual component of the XO with "test <device-name>" at forth.

==TRAINERS TRAINING==
==RECRUITING AND TRAINING INTERNS==
# A basic understanding of Linux and some commands is vital. A good guide is the Rute User's Tutorial and Exposition by Paul Sheer. http://rute.2038bug.com/index.html.gz.
# Interns must be familiar with disassembling and reassembling the laptop along with replacing and testing components etc.
# Interns should be independent and capable of using the internet and other sources to find solutions as far as possible.
# Interns should be familiar with the E-Paath software along with other activities that are to be included in the deployment.
# Interns should know how to add/remove individual activities, install an image, add/remove fonts and other basic.
# Interns should create a 'Hello World Activity' in sugar.

Other training to interns?<br>

Plans for the (stress lab)?<br>
