Computer labs
We have multiple computer labs available for student, staff and faculty use. A majority of our computer labs contain Dell PCs; however, we also provide students access to Mac computers.
In general, our computer labs are accessible during the opening hours of the IRZ. Courses and reservations have priority.
PCs (Windows and Linux)
The PCs are running Windows 10 and Debian GNU/Linux (dual boot). They are integrated into the department network and can access the network printers.
Logging in is done via personal user IDs.

The PC pools except for D-120 are at times reserved for projects and exercises. The reservations are shown on the booking schedules at the room entrance.
Mac-Pool
The iMacs are currently running with MacOS 13 Ventura.
The iMacs are included in the IRZ user administration (Active Directory), the normal IRZ user accounts can be used.

rzmac26-30 | MacOS 13 (Ventura) | 27" 5120×2880 |
On-/Off Switch
is on the left side of the rear panel.
After switching on, only the administrator ID is shown in the login screen. It takes about a minute until the connection to the Active Directory is established and the “Other …” button is displayed.
Local Home Directory
The first time you log in with your Informatics account, a home directory is created locally on your Mac. All files created there remain locally on this Mac, so that you should always work on the same Mac.
Informatics Home Directory
Your Informatics home directory is also automatically mounted as a network drive when you log in; it can be accessed via the Dock or in the Finder window via Devices → rzfilesrv1 → students → home.
You can also mount your Informatics home directory manually if required: In the Finder, select “Connect to server” from the “Go” menu and specify smb://rzfilesrv1/students/home/<ihrekennung> as the server address. This drive will then be shown on the desktop as a network drive.
(Note: Students with a pre-1999 Informatics account have their home directory on the file server rzfilesrv2.)
Software
In addition to the software available with macOS X, this Software is installed.
Smartboards and Beamers
There are
- Wall monitors with touch operation in rooms D018 and D114
- Beamers: permanently installed (ceiling mount) with screen and speakers in rooms D010, D017 and D118/119. For other pool rooms, portable beamers can be borrowed from the iRZ systems support (D107).
Scanners
An A3 and A4 flatbed scanner are available in room D112. They are connected to a Windows 10 PC that offers the appropriate scanner software with image, OCR, Office and PDF capability.
A 3D scanner or printer can be used in consultation with the working group SAV.
