the nature and duration of the problem;

when the problem occurs;

the components involved in the problem;

any particular application that, when used, appears to create the problem or make it worse; and

the results of any testing you’ve already done.

7.2 Shipping and Packaging

If you need to transport or ship your 6 x 4 Electronic SCSI Switch:
