Calling technical support

At times you might encounter an issue that requires technical support. When you call technical support:

Have the workstation readily accessible.

Write down the workstation serial numbers, product numbers, model names, and model numbers and have them in front of you.

Note any applicable error messages.

Note any add-on options.

Note the operating system.

Note any third-party hardware or software.

Note the details of any blinking LEDs on the front of the workstation.

Note the applications you were using when you encountered the problem.

Note the power supply BIST status, if applicable.

NOTE: When calling in for service or support, you might be asked for the Product Number (example: PS988AV) of the workstation. If the workstation has a Product Number, it is generally located next to the 10- or 12-digit Serial Number of the workstation.

NOTE: On most models, the serial number and product number labels can be found on the top panel or side of the workstation and at the rear of the workstation.
