Introduction
This section contains information pertaining to your role in service support

processes and procedures required for the delivery of services that a DSP
provides to support the DELL customers. Some of the information

questions regarding your DSP’s services, contact your manager.
The procedure manual (PM) is provided to your management to achieve
