Getting information, help, and serviceIf you need help, service, or technical assistance or just want more information
about IBM products, you will find a wide variety of sources available from IBM to
assist you. This section contains information about where to go for additional
information about IBM and IBM products, what to do if you experience a problem
with your system, and whom to call for service, if it is necessary.
Before you callBefore you call, take these steps to try to solve the problem yourself:
vCheck all cables to make sure that they are connected.
vCheck the power switches to make sure that the system is turned on.
vUse the troubleshooting information in your system documentation, and use the
diagnostic tools that come with your system.
vCheck for technical information, hints, tips, and new device drivers at the IBM
support Web site pages that are listed in this section.
vUse an IBM discussion forum on the IBM Web site to ask questions.
Youcan solve many problems without outside assistance by following the
troubleshooting procedures that IBM provides in the DS Storage Manager online
help or in the documents that are provided with your system and software. The
information that comes with your system also describes the diagnostic tests that
you can perform. Most subsystems, operating systems, and programs come with
information that contains troubleshooting procedures and explanations of error
messages and error codes. If you suspect a software problem, see the information
for the operating system or program.
Using the documentationInformation about your IBM system and preinstalled software, if any, is available in
the documents that come with your system. This includes printed books, online
documents, readme files, and help files. See the troubleshooting information in your
system documentation for instructions for using the diagnostic programs. The
troubleshooting information or the diagnostic programs might tell you that you need
additional or updated device drivers or other software.
