| - | | + | For individual faculty moving into swing space: please visit your location and identify which network jacks will be used by you and members of your group, and work with your move representative to provide this list to Graham, along with the list of computers to be moved. |

| + | |||
| + | Thank ahead of time about your needs for network cables, power cables and power strips. You are expected to take these with you from Tate, but new locations may require additional lengths. Please coordinate any special needs with your move rep | ||
| + | |||
| + | In particular regarding power, some locations have restrictions on use of extension cables, so you need to plan ahead to have a power strip with sufficient cable to reach your desk and equipment. | ||
