How to Log a Support Call with HPE
A step-by-step guide to understand the process of logging a call with Hewlett Packard Enterprise Technical Support
Step One - Check Your Agreement
Check whether your hardware is supported with an HPE support agreement (packaged services or services contract) by clicking here.
- Enter the product serial number (found on the support certificate, or the hardware itself – see below*)
- Select Country of purchase
- Submit
- If requested, enter product number and submit
Step Two - Identify Your Location
Step Three - Make the Call
- Shortcut or product category will be server, storage, networking, software, HPE solutions or installations (if the call is about something else, say more products)
- You may be asked for the operating system (e.g.Windows, VMWare) and the type (e.g. blade)
- Always use the full product name rather than an acronym (e.g. use System Insight Manager rather than SIM)
- If you’re having trouble using the system, you can press zero on your telephone keypad – or say “customer service” – at any menu. Your call will be routed to a customer service agent who will then transfer your call to the correct technical support team.
Step Four - Explain What You Need
A trained Technical Support Consultant will answer your call. Explain that you need to log a technical fault call with your HPE hardware. You will be asked for your serial number.
Step Five - Confirm Your Details
The Technical Support Consultant will check whether you have support and confirm your contact details, including address, telephone number and email address.
Step Six - Go Through the Questions
You will be asked a series of diagnostic questions and be asked to perform various tasks on your HPE hardware.
Step Seven - Advice
The Technical Support Consultant will advise the best course of action.
Step Eight - Save Your Reference Number
Ensure that you record the Call Reference Number as you will need this until your case is resolved by the Technical Support Team.
Step Nine - Wait For Resolution
Once your call has been logged, an HPE hardware specialist will process the call to resolution.
Once the case has been submitted, the first available support agent will respond (depending on the service level in place for the hardware). Calls logged with HPE will be dealt with in the following order:
Priority
Service Level
1
6 hour Call to Repair*
3
Next Business Day*
4
Basic Warranty
*Customers with Proactive Care benefit from automatic call logging and enhanced call handling (a dedicated Technical Solution Specialist who manages the call from receipt to closure), so may get faster problem resolution than those with Foundation Care.
