Telephone Technical Support and Repair

To obtain telephone support as part of your warranty and other service benefits, you must first register your product at http://eSupport.3com.com/

Warranty and other service benefits start from the date of purchase, so it is important to register your product quickly to ensure you get full use of the warranty and other service benefits available to you.

When you contact 3Com for assistance, please have the following information ready:

Product model name, part number, and serial number

Proof of purchase, if you have not pre-registered your product

A list of system hardware and software, including revision level

Diagnostic error messages

Details about recent configuration changes, if applicable

To send a product directly to 3Com for repair, you must first obtain a return authorization number (RMA). Products sent to 3Com, without authorization numbers clearly marked on the outside of the package, will be returned to the sender unopened, at the sender’s expense. If your product is registered and under warranty, you can obtain an RMA number online at http://eSupport.3com.com/. First time users will need to apply for a user name and password.
