Service Specifications
General Service Issues
VSM servers, when provided through Lawo, will come with 12 months plus additional 24 month DELL EMC Pro Support Service packages. The service packages are valid worldwide through regional DELL service teams, which can be identified centrally through the DELL website. Based on the geographic region, slight differences in the service process may apply. For regional detail, please check the support status of your HOME Dell Server at https://www.dell.com/support/ using the EMC service tag number of your machine. In case of issues, please get in contact with DELL PRO SUPPORT directly. A telephone number for your region is available through the DELL Support page. For EMEA, call ✆ +49 (0)69 / 9792 - 2064. Please consider an ownership transfer to straighten regional communication with DELL in case of issues.
Ownership Transfer
When you are getting in touch with the DELL Pro Support, DELL may request you to register as the new owner of the DELL servers. Please consider an ownership transfer to straighten communication with DELL. Especially, when servers change their original location (Lawo 's origin is Germany) a ownership transfer is recommended. This ensures that you get direct access to your regional DELL Service and that the support level for the server matches with regional capabilities. After an ownership transfer, you be able to perform service enhancements affecting your machine(s), such as purchasing iDrac licenses. Ownership transfers can be initiated between you and DELL directly. A detailed guide can be found here: https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-uk/000125103/ownership-transfer-and-dell-product-registration-guides. Please use Lawo's headquarter address in Germany as detail of the current owner.

OS Patches and Updates
The customer is responsible to keep the workstation OS up to date. OS patches and updates should be installed when available. As some patches and updates require the system to restart, make sure to schedule downtimes properly.
OS Upgrades may cause incompatibilities. Before planning an upgrade, please make sure to check if vsmPanel is compatible with the upgrade version.
It is strongly recommended to install all Windows OS updates before doing a vsmPanel update or upgrade.
