Congratulations on Receiving your UW Issued Computer.
This box should contain:
- Laptop (Notebook Computer)
- AC Power Laptop Adapter
- Mouse and Keyboard Combo
- Docking Station
- Printed Instructions on remoting in
In a separately shipped package you should receive a:
- 27" Monitor is compatible with the docking station. Due to global supply shortages, remote users are currently limited to 1 monitor.
- AC Power Adapter for Monitors
- Cable compatible with the Docking Station (and cable compatible with the laptop itself, or cable compatible with both the laptop and docking station).
If 100% Remote / out of state, please hang on to packaging and refrain from discarding those, as the equipment is UW Property, and we'll want the Laptop, Docking Stations, and Monitors back at the end of the appointment or when you are separated from the University. At the very least do not discard the packaging for the monitors, as those are very difficult to ship without the contents breaking without the original packaging.
If you've successfully previously remoted onto the computer you were shipped using Husky OnNet and Windows Remote Desktop Connection (Microsoft Remote Desktop for Mac users), then you can just:
