Cleanup and Null Systems
At the end of each practice session, each CPT275 student is e7ected to do the following cleanup
to prepare the equipment rack for the next practice session:
1. Run the following commands on Router A/B1 and Router A/B2 which will reboot the
routers and initiate a setup:

ROUTER# reload
2. Leave the routers UNCONFIGURED
3. Remove all cables and store them in the plastic box for that equipment rack
4. Insert one of the three Windows PE 3.0 CDs provided in the plastic box in each of the
servers' CD-ROM drives
5. Reboot each of the three servers to the CD (press F11 for the Boot Manager if necessary)
6. At the command prompt in Windows PE run the following commands:
diskpart
select disk 0
list partition [Note how many partitions have been created and their numbers]
select partition 1
delete partition override
list partition [Repeat the last two commands for each partition]
exit
exit

7. Leave each server with NO PARTITIONS configured
8. Remove all CDs and store them with the other disks in the plastic box
9. Turn off power to the equipment rack by switching off the power supply near the shelf
10. Do NOT unplug the equipment rack
11. Close the doors to the equipment rack
12. Return to room 103-115 and log out on the CPT275 Practice Log
13. Notify the Lab Manager that the equipment rack and room 103-226 need to be locked at
once
Be aware that each student that practices on an equipment rack is responsible for the
safekeeping of the equipment, as well as the successful cleanup and nulling of the systems.
If a student fails to complete these tasks, they will be subject to losing future practice
sessions for the CPT275 Performance Exam.
