Contacting Customer Service to request service
As an alternative to a live chat session, you can submit a service request directly from the
VxRail Manager Service view. The Service Request dialog asks you to select the appliance for
which you want to submit a request and pre-populates the form with information about that
appliance. Enter the service request information and click Submit.
VxRail community forums
The VxRail community of users provides valuable insight on how other users are obtaining the
most value from the VxRail Appliance. The community includes other VxRail users and provides

moderated by Dell EMC, subject matter experts in different organizations within the company
offer their perspectives.
