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:

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.
