A Getting Help and Technical Assistance
This appendix contains information about where to go for additional information on Intel products,
what to do if you experience a problem with your server platform, and whom to call for service if it
is necessary.
Before you call
Before you call, make sure that you have taken these steps to try to solve the problem yourself:
• Check all cables to make sure that they are connected.
• Check the power switches to make sure that the system is turned on.
• Use the troubleshooting information in your system documentation, and use the
diagnostic tools that come with your system.
You can solve many problems without outside assistance by following the troubleshooting
procedures that Intel provides in the publications that are provided on the Resource CD that
ships with your system and software. The documentation also describes the diagnostic tests
that you can perform. Most systems, 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 documentation
Information about your server platform and pre installed software, if any, is available on the
Resource CD that comes with your system. The Resource CD includes user manuals,
maintenance manuals and troubleshooting guides. 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. The troubleshooting information or the diagnostic programs
might tell you that you need additional or updated device drivers or other software.
