3-2 Technical Support Procedures
Before contacting Technical Support, please take the following steps. Also, please
note that as a motherboard manufacturer, Supermicro does not sell directly to end-
users, so it is best to first check with your distributor or reseller for troubleshooting
services. They should know of any possible problem(s) with the specific system
configuration that was sold to you.
1. Please go through the ‘Troubleshooting Procedures’ and 'Frequently Asked
Question' (FAQ) sections in this chapter or see the FAQs on our Web site
(
http://www.supermicro.com/support/faqs/
) before contacting Technical Sup-
port.
2. BIOS upgrades can be downloaded from our web site at
(http://www.
supermicro.com/support/bios/
).
3. If you still cannot resolve the problem, include the following information when
contacting Supermicro for technical support:
•
Motherboard model and PCB revision number
•
BIOS release date/version (this can be seen on the initial display when your
system first boots up)
•
System configuration
•
An example of a Technical Support form is on our web site at
(http://www.

Distributors: For immediate assistance, please have your account number ready
when placing a call to our technical support department. We can be reached by
e-mail at [email protected] or by fax at: (408) 503-8000, option 2.
