Hardware information
====================

Univention collects data about hardware
that customers use with Nubus for UCS.
The *Hardware information* management module gathers this data.

Nubus for UCS sends the data only after you grant permission.
It doesn't attach any personal data to the transfer.

Submit hardware information
   To submit hardware information to Univention, follow these steps:

   #. Open the *Hardware information* management module
      in the *Management UI* at
      :menuselection:`System --> Hardware information`.

   #. Fill in the *Manufacturer* and *Model* fields.
      The module pre-fills these fields with values from your hardware's DMI data.
      You can adjust the values and add an optional *Comment*.
      For an example, see :numref:`management-interface-hardware-information-figure`.

   #. If the hardware information relates to a support case,
      activate :guilabel:`This is related to a support case`
      and enter the ticket number in the next field.

   #. Click :guilabel:`Next` to view the hardware information before you transfer it.
      Optionally, download a TAR archive of the hardware components by clicking :guilabel:`Archive with system information`.

   #. Click :guilabel:`Next` again and choose the transfer method:
      :guilabel:`Upload` sends the data through HTTPS,
      and :guilabel:`Send mail` lets you send the archive by email.
