to assist you more efficiently if you prepare before you call. You can also see
datacentersupport.lenovo.com/warrantylookup

Gather the following information to provide to the service technician. This data will help the service
technician quickly provide a solution to your problem and ensure that you receive the level of service for
which you might have contracted.
• Hardware and Software Maintenance agreement contract numbers, if applicable
• Machine type number (Lenovo 4-digit machine identifier)
• Model number
• Serial number

• Other pertinent information such as error messages and logs
As an alternative to calling Lenovo Support, you can go to

to
submit an Electronic Service Request. Submitting an Electronic Service Request will start the process of
determining a solution to your problem by making the pertinent information available to the service
technicians. The Lenovo service technicians can start working on your solution as soon as you have
completed and submitted an Electronic Service Request.
Collecting service data
To clearly identify the root cause of a server issue or at the request of Lenovo Support, you might need
collect service data that can be used for further analysis. Service data includes information such as event
logs and hardware inventory.
Service data can be collected through the following tools:
•
Lenovo XClarity Provisioning Manager
Use the Collect Service Data function of Lenovo XClarity Provisioning Manager to collect system service
data. You can collect existing system log data or run a new diagnostic to collect new data.
•
Lenovo XClarity Controller
You can use the Lenovo XClarity Controller web interface or the CLI to collect service data for the server.
The file can be saved and sent to Lenovo Support.
