Troubleshooting a problem
To help you troubleshoot problems with your system, HP provides the Business Support Center (BSC).
The BSC is a portal to an extensive selection of online tools. To access BSC and troubleshoot a problem
with the workstation, complete the following:
1. Visit http://www.hp.com/go/workstationsupport .
2. Under the Business Support Center menu on the left, select Troubleshoot a problem.
3. Under Select your product (center window), select Workstations (under personal
computing).
4. Under Select your product, continue with selections as appropriate to the workstation series
and model, and to the problem you are troubleshooting.
Instant Support and Active Chat
Active Chat enables you to electronically submit a support ticket to HP over the Internet. When you
submit a support ticket, Active Chat collects information about the computer and passes it to an online
support specialist. The collection of information might take up to 30 seconds, depending on the
computer configuration. When you submit a support ticket, you receive a confirmation message
containing your case ID, the support hours for your location, and the estimated time of response.
