How to Install Lenovo Premier Support – Post Warranty (1 Year)

Activating this Premier Support plan is straightforward and designed to get your devices covered quickly. Follow these steps to ensure your Lenovo Sr650 V3 system and related hardware are protected and ready for service when you need it most.

Step 1: Verify eligibility and purchase alignment. Confirm that your Lenovo devices qualify for the post-warranty Premier Support program. Ensure you have a valid purchase and the correct product identifiers (model, serial, or SKU) on file to facilitate activation.

Step 2: Gather essential device information. Collect the device model (e.g., Sr650 V3), serial numbers, and any relevant unique identifiers. Note any existing YourDrive YourData configurations to help technicians understand your data protection context before arrival.

Step 3: Activate the service with Lenovo Premier Support. Contact Lenovo or your authorized reseller to initiate activation. Provide the device information, proof of purchase, and preferred service address. Request the 1-year post-warranty Premier Support plan and confirm the 24x7 access, 4-hour on-site response, and on-site maintenance terms.

Step 4: Provide service address and scheduling preferences. Share the exact on-site address, access instructions, and preferred time windows for routine maintenance or potential on-site visits. Clear access details help technicians arrive prepared with the right parts and tools to complete the job efficiently.

Step 5: Prepare for on-site engagement. Before the technician arrives, have a backup plan for critical systems and notify end users of potential downtime during scheduled maintenance. If Defective Media Retention will be involved, ensure appropriate media is readily available for secure handling and retention according to policy guidelines.

Step 6: On-site visit and service execution. A Lenovo-certified technician will arrive within the 4-hour response window, diagnose the issue, replace or repair hardware as needed, and perform any required maintenance. Parts and labor are included, ensuring the device returns to service with minimal disruption.

Step 7: Post-service documentation and confirmation. After service completion, you’ll receive a summary of actions taken, parts used, and the current status of the device. Keep the service record for future reference and potential renewals or escalations.

Step 8: Plan renewals and future coverage. As your one-year term nears expiration, discuss renewal options to maintain continuous protection. Consider aligning the service level with your changing IT needs, including any expansions to YourDrive YourData configurations or additional Lenovo devices.
