Supported Hardware - University-Owned Equipment
Because of the trends in the computer industry, situations arise where it is desirable to replace a piece of equipment with a newer and faster model even though the older one still works. This becomes a real dilemma when UCS Hardware Repair is called on to repair an older piece of equipment that, while technically fixable, is not worth fixing. As a result, UCS's supported products list is regularly updated to add newer products and to eliminate older products. University departments should budget in anticipation of replacing older computer equipment. Wherever possible, UCS will project dates for which a model's "retirement" is anticipated.
