Chapter 1: Introduction
1.3 Unpacking the System
Inspect the box in which the chassis was shipped, and note if it was damaged. If any
equipment appears damaged, file a damage claim with the carrier who delivered it.
1.4 Where to get Replacement Components
If you need replacement parts for your system, to ensure the highest level of professional
service and technical support, purchase exclusively from our Supermicro Authorized
Distributors/System Integrators/Resellers. A list can be found at: http://www.supermicro.com.

1.5 Returning Merchandise for Service
A receipt or copy of your invoice marked with the date of purchase is required before any
warranty service will be rendered. You can obtain service by calling your vendor for a Returned
Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number. When returning to the manufacturer, the RMA
number should be prominently displayed on the outside of the shipping carton, and mailed
prepaid or hand-carried. Shipping and handling charges will be applied for all orders that
must be mailed when service is complete.
For faster service, RMA authorizations may be requested online (http://www.supermicro.com/
support/rma/).
Whenever possible, repack the chassis in the original Supermicro carton, using the original
packaging material. If these are no longer available, be sure to pack the chassis securely,
using packaging material to surround the chassis so that it does not shift within the carton
and become damaged during shipping.
This warranty only covers normal consumer use and does not cover damages incurred in
shipping or from failure due to the alteration, misuse, abuse or improper maintenance of
products.
During the warranty period, contact your distributor first for any product problems.
