Logins / where to find passwords

The usual DC username is 'labrats'. The STA password can be found on the bottom of the printed staff list. (Take the first letter of each word!)

IT username on Windows computers is 'Administrator' and on Macs is 'Admin'. Ask Chris or Rae if you need the IT Admin password.

What to do when you get in

  1. Login to http://sta.hampshire.edu.
  2. Read through ALL of the open tickets.
  3. Check that all computers in the DC have a ticket and that all tickets have a computer.
    • If there are tickets for loaned equipment, call the user. (Leave a message if they don't pickup.) And note it on the ticket.
    • If any computers are unaccounted for or their ticket don't accurately reflect their status, email the listserv at dc-sta@lists.hampshire.edu. Include the user's name, the computer model, and the latest comment with a specific question for information.
  • If you have free time on your shift, clean up the counters, put screwdrivers away, wipe down the counters if they're sticky.
  • If you don't know the next step for a certain machine, make sure you comment in the ticket that you're leaving it for the next person.

  • Your name
  • Computer Diagnostic Center
