Service and support
The DS4000 series has a three-year
hardware warranty. Additional services
for hardware installation, DS4000
Storage Manager configuration and
advanced storage management are
also available from IBM Global Services
(IGS). IBM SupportLine services can
assist with using DS4000 Storage
Manager, helping to enable customers
to self-maintain their DS4000 system.
The optional DS4000 Service Alert
and the new DS4000 Alert Manager
services are designed to enable
the DS4300 to quickly notify the
IBM Support Center of problems when
they occur, helping to reduce or elimi-
nate the need for the customer to place
a service call. This feature is capable of
forwarding error alert messages (via
e-mail) from DS4000 Storage Manager
to IBM to help expedite diagnosis and
repair of failed hardware and software
problems.
