Overview

The IT Equipment Order form is used to order new IT equipment and submit lifecycle requests for all groups except the University Administrative (UA) department. UA members should use the UA Lifecycle Request form instead; see About the University Administrative (UA) Lifecycle form.

Submit an order

To submit an order:

1. Go to the IT Equipment Order form. (You also can access the form in the ServiceNow Service portal by selecting IT Equipment Ordering.)

   If prompted, log in with your IU username and passphrase.

2. Your name, IU username, and IU email address will be automatically entered into the "Submitter Information" section.
3. You will be asked whether you are placing this order for someone else:
   • If you are placing this order for someone else, select Yes, and then enter the name or IU username of the person for whom you are ordering the equipment.
   • If you are placing this order for yourself, select No.
   • If you are placing this order for a vacant position, select No, and indicate that the equipment is for a vacant position in the "Notes" section of the form. When the equipment is ready for deployment, the Endpoint Lifecycle team will reach out to inquire whether there is a specific employee to deploy the equipment to.
     Note:

     Someone from the requesting department will need to take delivery of the equipment, even if the position has not yet been filled. The Endpoint Lifecycle team has limited storage space, and cannot hold equipment until the new employee is hired.
4. Select whether the order needs to be shipped to a home address:
   • If you select Yes, enter the appropriate street address, city, stage, ZIP code, and phone number.
     Note:

     If you enter the home address information before you submit the order, the Endpoint Lifecycle team will ship the equipment without any additional charge. If you submit the order and later ask the Endpoint Lifecycle team to ship the equipment, you will need to provide an account number to pay for shipping.
   • If you select No, select the appropriate campus code, and then enter the building name, phone number, and room/cube number for the person receiving this equipment.
5. In the "Computers" section, select the computer you would like. If you are placing an order for computer accessories only, check Computer Accessories only, no computer needed, and select the accessories you would like from the list under "Peripherals".
   Note:

   The standard configuration for Health Technology Services (HTS) and TechSelect clients is an i5 processor, 16 GB of RAM, a 512 GB solid state drive (SSD) hard drive, and a three-year warranty for laptops or a four-year warranty for desktops.

   If the list of computers provided does not meet your needs, and you need a more powerful computer configuration, choose The computers listed do not meet my needs, and a list of additional computer configurations will appear. If you choose a computer in this list, an automated approval request will go to your direct supervisor and director equivalent, who must approve the order.

6. Choose whether you want a full setup:
   • For desktop systems, this adds two monitors, a speaker bar, and a webcam to the order.
   • For laptop systems, this adds a docking station, two monitors, a speaker bar, and a wireless keyboard and mouse to the order.
7. In the "Computer Accessories" section, select any items you want to add to your order.
   Note:

   As you add or remove components and peripherals, the price total (located just above the Submit button) will change to reflect the cost of the order.
8. In the list of additional computer configurations, if none of the computers and configurations meet your needs, select Custom request. If you choose this option, you will need to go to the Dell or CDW B2B catalog, and create a quote for the computer you need; see Create a custom IT equipment quote from the B2B catalogs in Buy.IU.
9. For "IT support provided by", use the drop-down to select your IT support provider, or select Don't Know if you do not know who provides your IT support.
10. Under "Accounts for Purchasing", add up to four departmental account numbers:
    1. Select Add, and then enter an account number.
    2. If applicable, add the sub-account suffix.
    3. Enter the dollar amount the account should be charged.
11. If you need to include supporting documentation with your order, select Upload, and then select the files that should be submitted with your order.
12. Under "Notes", indicate any additional equipment specifications pertaining to the order, enter additional notes about the order, and/or ask questions about the ordering process.
13. When you're ready to submit your order, on the right, select Submit. This creates a ticket that the Endpoint Lifecycle team will use to place your order.

   3. Select the type of printer you want (for example, B&W Laser Printer, Color Laser Printer, etc.).

3. Return to the form and enter the CDW# for the printer that meets your needs.
4. If the printer you need is not listed in the steps above, in the notes section, describe the type of printer you need (for example, label printer), or attach a quote for the printer you need to the ticket using the Upload button at the bottom of the form.
