Warranty period

An IBM part or feature installed during the initial installation of an IBM machine is
subject to a full warranty effective on the date of installation of the machine. An IBM
part or feature which replaces a previously installed part or feature assumes the
remainder of the warranty period for the replaced part or feature. An IBM part or
feature added to a machine without replacing a previously installed part or feature
is subject to a full warranty effective on its date of installation. Unless specified
otherwise, the warranty period, type of warranty service, and service level of a part
or feature is the same as the machine in which it is installed.
Warranty service
If required, IBM provides repair or exchange service depending on the types of
warranty service specified for the machine. IBM will attempt to resolve your problem
over the telephone, or electronically via an IBM Web site. You must follow the
problem determination and resolution procedures that IBM specifies. Scheduling of
service will depend upon the time of your call and is subject to parts availability. If
applicable to your product, parts considered Customer Replaceable Units (CRUs) will
be provided as part of the machine's standard warranty service.
Service levels are response time objectives and are not guaranteed. The specified
level of warranty service may not be available in all worldwide locations. Additional
charges may apply outside IBM's normal service area. Contact your local IBM
