Technical support

Technical support is available during the life of your product. Assistance can be obtained through the Personal Computing Support Web site and the IBM Automated Fax System. During the warranty period, assistance for replacement or exchange of defective components is available. In addition, if your IBM option is installed in an IBM computer, you might be entitled to service at your location. Your technical support representative can help you determine the best alternative.
