Introduction
It is important to provide the required information to a Cisco Technical Support engineer when you request a return materials authorization (RMA) for an IGX, BPX, or MGX product, which ensures an efficient and complete RMA process. You do not need to wait for the Technical Support engineer to contact you. You can update your Technical Support case with the appropriate information.
General Information for All Platforms
This section describes the required platform-independent information you must supply to efficiently complete your RMA.
Ship-to Information
Update the case or the Technical Support engineer with this information:
-
Ship-to address
-
Site contact name
-
Site contact phone number
Software and Firmware Requirements
You can indicate a specific firmware and/or software, if needed; however, be aware of these considerations:
-
You can download software and firmware the Cisco Web site and parts can be upgraded/downgraded on the Cisco Web site.
-
Your shipment may be delayed if you request a specific version of software or firmware.
-
You can request a next business day delivery downgrade if you have a two- or four-hour delivery contract and need a specific software or firmware version.
Reason for Requesting an RMA
Indicate the reason for your RMA request; some examples are:
-
Inoperable card with no LEDs
-
Hardware errors
-
Faulty port
Troubleshooting Steps Performed
Indicate the steps you performed to troubleshoot the problem, which determined that the problem is a hardware issue.
Access Information
In most cases, a Technical Support engineer must access your node/network to verify that an RMA is required. This step saves you time if the problem is not related to hardware.
