• Register the affected devices in your Lenovo service portal, linking each unit to the Foundation Service SKU and the corresponding contract details.
• Provide essential device metadata, including model name, serial number, and current warranty status, to enable accurate scheduling and part replacement planning.
• Verify that the service is active in the account, and confirm the coverage window (normal business hours, five days per week) and the 5-year duration for the contract.
• In the event of a service call, contact Lenovo support through your portal or designated channel; a technician will be dispatched for next-business-day onsite service, including installation of any required replacement parts.
