 3Com's service partner will determine what action needs to be taken to resolve
 the problem.  3Com service partners can verify hardware failures and advise
 you when it is more cost-effective to replace, rather than repair, a product.

 Returning Products for Repair
 -----------------------------

 A product sent directly to 3Com for repair must first be assigned a Return
 Materials Authorization number (RMA).  A product sent to 3Com without an RMA
 number will be returned to the sender unopened, at the sender's expense.

 When you call for an RMA number, be prepared to provide the product name,
 serial number, and diagnostic error messages.  Payment, shipping instructions,
 and turnaround time will be confirmed when the RMA number is assigned.

 To obtain an RMA number, call or fax:

 Europe            Phone  (44) (0) 442 231000
                   Fax    (44) (0) 442 236824

 U.S.              Phone  (800) 876-3266
                   Fax    (408) 764-7290

 NOTE:  RMA forms (except Europe) are available on CardFacts.  Dial 
        (408) 727-7021.

 Outside Europe    Phone  (408) 492-1790
 and the U.S.      Fax    (408) 764-7290
