iPad Deployment Guide Unboxing Your new GCTS iPad will come in the original box from Apple. Please remove your new iPad from the box and remove the packaging. At this point, please take your Asset Tag sticker and place it on the top of the iPad, in the upper right corner if you are looking at the Apple logo. Inside the box, you will also find your power cord and power brick. Please remove these from the box. It is safest at this point to plug your iPad into power, just to be certain it has enough power to continue with the next sections. Setup Assistant Power on your new iPad. You will be greeted by Setup Assistant, which will help you get your iPad ready to use. This section will explain each screen you will see and need to progress through. Language: Please choose English (or your native language if you are more comfortable, though this may mean that GCTS IT will need your help navigating the iPad in order to fix anything that may go wrong). Country/Region: Please choose United States. If you wait for a few seconds, it should refresh and United States will be at the top. Quick Start: Please choose "Set Up Manually" Wi-Fi: Please select your Wi-Fi and input the password.

If you do not have one, please follow the instructions under Create an Apple ID on screen. We highly suggest that you use a personal email address for this account. This also allows IT to push apps from the app store to your device if needed, and for you to install apps easily via Self Service. Please accept the license terms of Apple ID/iCloud iCloud: GCTS IT does not recommend using iCloud on a GCTS device, as the institution utilizes OneDrive for institutional storage. iCloud Keychain: GCTS IT does not recommend the use of iCloud keychain for GCTS usernames and password, as we utilize LastPass as an institution.

This allows your clock to be automatically set and also allows GCTS IT to help find your iPad if it is lost or stolen. Siri: If desired, please setup Siri by following the prompts.
