For 90 days from initial product shipment or GA date (whichever is later), you are entitled to the New User support program with value-based technical support from our team of experts. They can assist you with hardware product information, product usage issues and incident resolution, which may involve problem determination, analysis and diagnosis.

We evaluate information regarding an issue and provide guidance and troubleshooting assistance to aid in problem resolution. Once this program expires, you will be serviced under Standard Support. Standard Support offers support on severe issues only, no resolution or response times and basic access to our Customer Resource Center (CRC) portal.
