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 ven-
dor for a Returned Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number. When returning the 
motherboard to the manufacturer, the RMA number should be prominently displayed 
on the outside of the shipping carton, and the shipping package is 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, You can also request 
a RMA authorization online (http://www.supermicro.com/RmaForm/). 
The manufacturer warranty only covers normal consumer use and does not cover 
damages incurred in shipping or from failure due to the alternation, misuse, abuse 
or improper maintenance of products. 

During the warranty period, contact your distributor first for any product problems.
