====== new workstation ====== - Make a choice via the https://premier.dell.be website . Find the login in document located Pintra->ICT somewhere. Standard config is XPS workstation with Intel i7. - We need a powerfull workstation, with an nvidia graphical card. Also qwerty keyboards (international students), a headset, and 2 displays. i opted for a **Dell U2415** display, which has some more pixels in the vertical resolution, and thus more practical for programmers and alike. - Each workstation needs 64G of memory, so the standard configs at the dell premier site won't be sufficient. You have to send an email to our contacts at **Dell**, which are **Cedric.De.Saeger@dell.com** and **AnSofie.Deprest@Dell.com** and ask for an **offer** !!! - You need a **budget code** for the PC -> ask Christine (Christine.Waerebeek@uantwerpen.be) or Jan or the responsible who asked for the workstation. - Send the dell offer and the budget code to the **secretary** (Tanya.Roovers@uantwerpen.be). Se will process this and do the necessary to order the workstation, via the financial services of UAntwerpen. - On receipt of the workstation, check that everything is complete, and give the papers to Tanya. - When you have an account name for the person who is going to use the workstation (check with Christine ), you have to bring the PC to Paul Philipssens (paul.philipsen@uantwerpen.be, Lokaal B.011 03/2652250), who is going to do a normal install on the workstation, with all the usual apps (office, outlook, mathlab (ask for that!!), etc..) and specific language (English, Dutch?). It is always a good idea to reserve a part of the harddisk ( SSD ) for a linux partition, as some students are more proficient with linux and prefer to work with. We have good experience with **Linux Mint**. - You get an email form Paul when the **installation has completed**. - Fetch the workstation and install it on the correct location.
