Introduction
Before surplusing any computer or group of computers, you must contact the Office of Information Technology (OIT) to ensure that all hard drives are properly removed and securely wiped. This is a critical step in the surplus process, as all data must be securely destroyed prior to the release or sale of any device by UAH.
These steps are only required for Computers, Laptops and External Hard drives.
Printers, monitors, keyboards, mouse and other general computer accessories that do not contain hard drives are not required to be assessed by OIT before being submitted to Asset Management.
Once OIT confirms that the data has been securely erased, the computers may then be sold or otherwise disposed of by the university.
