Installations
Unless otherw ise noted, installation charges apply on a per-unit basis. Installation/integration prices are for installations performed during
normal business hours, local time, Monday-Friday, except Quantum or local holidays. Unless the item is described as customer installable,
installations must be performed by Quantum or a Quantum-authorized service provider. Installation and/or integration services, w hich must be
performed by Quantum or a Quantum-authorized service provider may be required for various system options, such as Fibre Channel. Consult
the item note and footnotes for more information about installation requirements.
Installations/integrations scheduled in advance for times other than normal business hours, local time, Monday-Friday, excluding Quantum or
local holidays w ill be charged at a rate 1.5 times the standard price. Installations/integrations scheduled in advance to occur during Quantum or
local holidays w ill be charged at a rate 2.0 times the standard price.
Some products offer a service extension option that extends the time period of standard w arranty coverage (for example, extending a one-
year Bronze Level w arranty to a three-year period). Customers may also enhance ("uplift") the standard w arranty coverage on most products
to a higher level of service support (and optionally a longer time period too) An uplift replaces the standard w arranty w ith a service contract
Service Extensions and Uplifts
Field add-ons/upgrades added to a system under warranty or a maintenance agreement do not affect the price or duration of
the system's coverage. Add-on/upgrade items purchased at the same time as the system must
be covered for the duration
of and at the same service level as the standard or uplifted system warranty. All add-on/upgrade items added to a system
after its initial installation must be covered at the same service level as the system they are installed in.
When one or more tape drives and/or Fibre Channel cards are added to a configuration under a maintenance agreement, the customer w ill be
charged a pro-rated maintenance charge for the added item(s). The price for the maintenance agreement w ill be determined by the status of
the w hole unit (may be renew al pricing). Since price calculations related to existing contracts and expiration dates can be complex, please
contact your Quantum Service Sales representative for assistance in determining the correct incremental service charges.
