In this guide, we'll learn how to enter and track hard drive information using ADB Media and related tools. This process includes scanning drive details, entering data into mobile carts, and storing drives in ICP lockers for further handling.

You'll see how to collect key information like part numbers, manufacturer, media type, and asset tags, and how to ensure each drive is properly logged and stored.

Let's get started

First, since we're focusing on the drive, click on ADB Media. Next, select the location, which is Jupiter.

Step #1: Click on "Search For" — Click on "Search For"

2

Type in your site's name

Step #3: Click on "Jupiter" — Click on "Jupiter"

Step #4: Click on "Continue" — Click on "Continue"

We are brought to this screen, where we can view each person's mobile carts. When you scan a drive into a mobile cart, that is the first step in entering the data.

Step #5: Click on your mobile cart — Click on your mobile cart

We find the cart with my name on it and start scanning the information in.

Step #6: Click on "Scan Drive Serial #" — Click on "Scan Drive Serial #"

We need the drive serial number, part number, manufacturer, media type, source, and serial number. We don't need the serial number, so never mind. Then add the asset tag and our ticket ID. First, scan the drive's serial number.

Step #8: Click on "Scan Drive Serial #" — Click on "Scan Drive Serial #"

Next, scan the part number.

Type your drive's serial number

Step #10: Click on "Scan Drive Part#" — Click on "Scan Drive Part#"

We enter our manufacturer, which in this case is HPE.

11

Type your part number

Step #12: Click on "Dive" — Click on "Dive"

This is a hard drive, so we'll select HDD from the dropdown.

13

Type "HP"

The drive source will be break/fix since this drive failed and we are still using the node.

Next, we obtain the asset tag for our device.

Step #18: Click on "Break / Fix" — Click on "Break / Fix"

Step #19: Click on "Scan Asset Tag" — Click on "Scan Asset Tag"

Then click back to the Tarmac window.

Step #21: Double-click on "A2880566" — Double-click on "A2880566"

22

Type "Cmd + C"

We enter our asset tag.

24

Type "Cmd + V"

Next, return to Help Central and retrieve your ticket number.

Copy the ticket number. Return to Tarmac and paste it into the ticket ID field.

Step #26: Double-click on "TASK003371084" — Double-click on "TASK003371084"

27

Type "Cmd + C" to copy your ticket number

Step #29: Click on "Scan Ticket" — Click on "Scan Ticket"

Type "Cmd + V" to paste your ticket information

After entering this information, press Enter. Now we can see that the drive has been added. We can save it to our mobile cart.

The next step is to place this into an ICP locker, also known as an intermediate collection point.

You'll match the number. In our case, our ICP lockers have barcodes that we can scan to ensure we are using the correct one. Go to Filter All, then scan the barcode on the ICP locker.
