Start troubleshooting

In case of a product malfunction, technical support will help you.

Start troubleshooting

We recommend that you leave the devices mounted and connected to clarify the fault. This way, our experts can still connect to the products for troubleshooting and recovery. Most cases of the incidents with no hardware failure can be resolved immediately. In case of hardware failure, we help you to clarify questions of warranty, service level, repair process or product exchange.

Before you contact technical support, please review the troubleshooting guide and have the serial number of the affected product available.
