PCs for IQ2, Site Control, and Maxicom
A Rain Bird GSP PC originates at Dell Corporation, a major manufacturer we have been working directly with for 17 years. They are configured at Rain Bird’s Production and Service
Center where additional assembly, software installation, and set-up occurs. A Rain Bird PC assures your customer has a very capable machine the GSP Team knows inside and out and can troubleshoot quickly and effectively if needed. A Rain Bird computer has not been required for new IQ2 systems but it is highly recommended to help put your customers in the best position for success with their new systems.
New GSP Classic and Plus plans will require the purchase of a Rain Bird PC when existing
Rain Bird PCs are 3 years old or older or when the system is operated by a non-Rain Bird computer. Certain exceptions may apply, however. Below is a table with the current PC specifications. Please note the Premium PC has dual mirrored hard drives. This prevents a hard drive failure from causing a PC failure and protects valuable irrigation data and programs.
