Non-Supported Systems
If you are considering the purchase of a desktop computer
other than the HP/Compaq dc7700 from Pomeroy, you will be purchasing non-supported equipment. This means that
support for the system will be your responsibility and that charges may be
applied to any services provided by CaTS. In addition, if the non-supported product is
found to be interfering with the operation of other systems or does not meet the
security requirements of the campus network, it will be disconnected from the network.
Recommended computers come preconfigured with a standard suite of university software including
Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access) and install much more quickly onto
the campus network. Non-supported equipment will take longer to set up and will incur
installation charges.
Before purchasing a non-supported product, carefully weigh all the factors in the long-term
use of the system, don't just look at the initial purchase price. What is the warranty? Recommended
systems come with an impressive 5-year warranty. Where will you get support? What if
it breaks? Does it have to be sent back to a service center? Many cheaper consumer-grade
PCs only come with a 90-day carry-in warranty. Recommended computers are serviced
on campus by a technician familiar with the Wright State campus.
What version of Windows does it include? Windows XP Home is not recommended
- all systems should be purchased with XP Pro.
