Preface

Returning Merchandise for Service

A receipt or copy of your invoice marked with the date of purchase is required be-

fore any warranty service will be rendered. You can obtain service by calling your

vendor for a Returned Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number. When returning

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.

For faster service, RMA authorizations may be requested online (http://www.super-

micro.com/support/rma/).

Whenever possible, repack the backplane in the original Supermicro box, using the

original packaging materials. If these are no longer available, be sure to pack the

backplane in an anti-static bag and inside the box. Make sure that there is enough

packaging material surrounding the backplane so that it does not become damaged

during shipping.

This warranty only covers normal consumer use and does not cover damages in-

curred in shipping or from failure due to the alteration, misuse, abuse or improper

maintenance of products.
