You may also choose to add additional hardware components to your computer, such as scanners or external hard drives. ITS will attempt to provide basic installation support for these devices. That is, we'll help you get them working initially, but we will not be able to provide additional assistance. These devices include:

  • USB Flash drives (a.k.a. 'thumb' drives)
  • External hard drives
  • Scanners
  • Digital cameras
  • External CD and DVD burners

Certain devices, such as Palm Pilots or handheld computers, allow you to access your calendar, email and other data directly from them. These devices usually require some additional setup and configuration. ITS will assist you with the installation of these devices and help you to set them up to synchronize relevant information. Please be aware that certain devices may prove incompatible with our current systems, and other features of the devices may be unsupported.

If you think you need any of these devices, or others, please consult with an AIA or other ITS staff member before purchasing them.
