The ITS Software Release Test Cube is located at 2300 Delaware on the East side, in cube D1-07.
My desk is next to the Test Computers and I am available to assist software testers.
You can reserve testing time at the Cube via CruzTime (its.qa.cube) or email me johnl@ucsc.edu

Use the black switchbox to choose between the systems.
You may have to click on the keyboard to wake it up if it’s in sleep mode.
To use the Mac or Dell 745 computers, the monitor needs to be on “input 2”.
To use the XP (Dell GX280) computer, the monitor needs to be on “input 1”.
Click the leftmost button on the front of the monitor to switch inputs (it cycles through).
The testing account on all systems is “UC Santa Cruz”. The password is posted next to the monitor.
Note: On the XP, you have press CTL-ALT-DEL to get the logon screen.
All systems have a HP printer nearby set as default.
