Visit Otto.euc.it.umich.edu. On the landing page, you'll see a list of organizations and systems that you have rights over. On the left sidebar, you can search for systems or pair a new system.
In the searchbar, type a computer name, serial number, Mac address, or other identifier. You can use * as a wildcard, LIKE and other matching techniques. If the computer appears, click on it.
If the computer does not appear, it doesn't exist in Otto. Enter its serial number in the Pair A System box and click pair. When Pairing a machine, you're prompted to provide a Group and optionally, an Otto Name.
Once you've located or paired your system, you can take action on that system on the System page. At the top of the System page there are a list of available actions depending on your role.
Click Prestage System. The page will refresh and you'll see a notification at the top that the prestage is running.
The Prestage takes anywhere from 5-30 seconds. After a period of time, refresh the page and you'll see the worker post messages about the status. These external events are on the right side in the middle of the System page.
The prestage is now complete and you're ready to kick off the task sequence.
