Adding a New Machine to the Network (view source)

====== Add machine to network ======
Sometimes, URY's Computing team will come across a need to network a new device. This could be a new server, or maybe the fabled [[Talkback]].
== Checklist ==
* Has the device been recently? New equipment should be by before being placed into production (YUSU offer to do it, but are entered into a 3 year [as of 2013] exclusive contract with a company that takes weeks to respond - you can also try Computer Science Hardware support [Pete Cooper], Electronics, or one of the free PAT days the University offers at the start of the academic year).
* Is the device earmarked to go into the [[Server Cupboard]]? If so, it must be a rack mount device. It improves airflow, accessibility and prettyness. If you don't have a suitable case, ask around the team - we have "contacts" that can "source" them for you (Read: have collections of old servers).
* Has the device been allocated an IP address in one of the subnets allocated to us by IT Services? Have you updated the Google Doc (at https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AtlIZR-runbWdEphYXdNQkcxU25BeFJfUGtQeFRRWnc&usp=drive_web)?
* Have you informed IT Services that the new device exists? See [[#Registering with LAN DB]]
=== Registering with LAN DB ===
Men & Mice, The LAN Database, or The Evil Central Repository of Stupid, is the central IT Service database of devices that use the campus network (excluding NAS and eduroam devices). They will set you on fire if you put a device into production without telling them it exists. Create a Footprints (using either https://footprints.york.ac.uk or emailing itsupport@york.ac.uk) that looks similar to the following:
