Chapter 3. Returning the Old CPU Board

All CPU boards that have been replaced must be returned. This procedure is not optional. Shipping boxes are included in the upgrade kit; if you need more board boxes, you may have to order them before all of the boards can be returned.

Packing the Board

Pack the old CPU board in the box and antistatic bag provided. Ensure that the board is packed to withstand the rigors of surface and air freight transportation.


Caution: Boards must be shipped in antistatic bags.


Filling Out the RMA Form and Returning the CPU Board

An RMA form (p/n 011-0346-001) is provided with each upgrade. Field engineers should help customers fill out the RMA form. The customer keeps this form and takes one of the following steps:

  • International customers should call the closest Silicon Graphics subsidiary to receive instructions on how to return the CPU board. Refer to the list of contacts in Section 3.3, "International Sites and RMA Contacts."

  • Domestic and Canadian customers should call (800) 627-1075. They will receive an RMA number and make arrangements for the hardware to be picked up.
