Technical Support Procedures

Before contacting Technical Support, please take the following steps. Also, 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.
4. 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.
