Get hardware support

This information only applies to Azure Stack device. The process to report hardware issues is as follows:

  1. Open a Support ticket from the Azure portal for a hardware issue. Under Problem type, select Azure Stack Hardware. Choose the Problem subtype as Hardware failure.

    Hardware issue

    After you have created the Support ticket, a Support engineer will contact you as soon as possible to proceed with your request.

  2. If Microsoft Support determines that this is a hardware issue, then one of the following actions occurs:

    • A Field Replacement Unit (FRU) for the failed hardware part is sent. Currently, power supply units and solid-state drives are the only supported FRUs.
    • Only FRUs are replaced within the next business day, everything else requires a full system replacement (FSR) to be shipped.

  3. If it is determined that a FRU replacement is needed by 1 PM local time (Monday to Friday), an onsite technician is dispatched the next business day to your location to perform a FRU replacement. A full system replacement typically will take much longer because the parts are shipped from our factory and could be subject to transportation and customs delays.

Manage a support request

After creating a support ticket, you can manage the lifecycle of the ticket from within the portal.

To manage your support requests

  1. To get to the help and support page, navigate to Browse > Help + support.

    Manage support requests

  2. A tabular listing of Recent support requests is displayed in Help + support.

  3. Select and click a support request. You can view the status and the details for this request. Click + New message if you want to follow up on this request.
