Limited Warranty Period

The Limited Warranty Period for an HP Hardware Product is a specified, fixed period commencing on the date of purchase. The date on your sales receipt is the date of purchase unless HP or your reseller informs you otherwise in writing.

Types of Warranty Service

To enable HP to provide the best possible support and service during the Limited Warranty Period, you may be directed by HP to verify configurations, load most recent firmware, install software patches, run HP diagnostics tests, or use HP remote support solutions where applicable.

HP strongly encourages you to accept the use of, or to employ available support technologies provided by HP. If you choose not to deploy available remote support capabilities, you may incur additional costs due to increased support resource requirements. Listed below are the types of warranty support service that may be applicable to the HP Hardware Product you have purchased.

Customer Self Repair Warranty Service

In countries/regions where it is available, your HP Limited Warranty may include a Customer Self Repair warranty service. If applicable, HP will determine in its sole discretion that Customer Self Repair is the appropriate method of warranty service. If so, HP will ship approved replacement parts directly to you to fulfill your HP Hardware Product warranty service. This will save considerable repair time. After you contact HP and the fault diagnosis identifies that the problem can be fixed using one of these parts, a replaceable part can be sent directly to you. Once the part arrives, replace the defective part pursuant to the provided instructions and documentation. If further assistance is required, call the HP Technical Support Center, and a technician will assist you over the phone. In cases where the replacement part must be returned to HP, you must ship the defective part back to HP within a defined period of time, normally thirty (30) days. The defective part must be returned with the associated documentation in the provided shipping material. Failure to return the defective product may result in HP billing you for the replacement. With Customer Self Repair, HP will pay all shipping and part return costs and determine the courier/carrier to be used.

If Customer Self Repair applies to you, please refer to your specific HP Hardware Product announcement. You can also obtain information on this warranty service on the HP Web site at:

In-Home Warranty Service

Your HP Limited Warranty service may include on-site labor support to repair your hardware. HP provides on-site service during standard office hours. Standard office hours are typically 08.00 to 17.00, Monday through Friday, but may vary with local business practices. If your location is outside the customary service zone (typically 50 km), response times may be longer or there may be additional charges. To locate the nearest HP authorized service provider refer to the HP Web site at:

HP may, at its sole discretion, determine if on-site warranty service is required. For example, in many cases, the defect can be fixed by the use of a Customer Self Repair (CSR) part that you are required to replace yourself based on instructions and documentation provided by HP. You are also required to cooperate with HP in attempting to resolve the problem over the telephone. This may involve performing routine diagnostic procedures, installing software updates or patches, removing third-party options, and/or substituting options. In order to receive on-site support, you must

(a)have a representative present when HP provides warranty services at your site; (b) notify HP if products are being used in an environment that poses a potential health or safety hazard to HP employees or subcontractors;

(c)subject to its reasonable security requirements, provide HP with sufficient, free, and safe access to and use of all facilities, information, and systems determined necessary by HP to provide timely support; (d) ensure that all manufacturer’s labels (such as serial numbers) are in place, accessible, and legible; (e) maintain an environment consistent with product specifications and supported configurations.

If you require an HP representative to handle all component replacements, support uplift contracts are available at additional cost.

Pickup and Return Warranty Service

Your HP Limited Warranty may include a pickup and return warranty service. Under the terms of pickup and return service, HP will pick up the defective unit from your location, repair it, and return it back to your location. HP will incur all repair, logistics, and insurance costs in this process.
