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 vendor for a Returned Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number. You can
also request a RMA authorization online (http://www.supermicro.com/support/rma/).
When returning the motherboard to the manufacturer, the RMA number should be
prominently displayed on the outside of the shipping carton, and mailed prepaid or
hand-carried. Shipping and handling charges will be applied for all orders that must
be mailed when service is complete.
This warranty only covers normal consumer use and does not cover damages in-
curred 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.
