Contacting HP Customer Support

If your autoloader fails during the warranty period and the suggestions in the documentation do not solve the problem, you can receive support by doing the following:

Access HP Support on the World Wide Web at http://www.hp.com/ support/storage

Contact your authorized HP dealer or Authorized Service Provider

Call the HP Customer Care Center in your region

If you purchased a service contract through HP or an authorized reseller, make sure that you register your autoloader immediately. Failure to register may result in slower response time. Registering allows the local repair office to prepare for the proper response level needed. If your library fails while under the support contract period, contact the appropriate support number included in your contract information.

If your autoloader fails after the warranty period, contact your authorized Hp dealer or distributor, or the nearest HP sales and service office. Customers in the US and Europe can use a credit card for phone assistance.
