Pre-Failure Warranty

The Compaq ProLiant 1850R server includes Pre-Failure Warranty for Processorss, hard drives, and DIMMs purchased from Compaq through a Compaq Authorized Reseller. Under the terms of this warranty, supported components are eligible for replacement before they actually fail, provided that you use Compaq Insight Manager and that the system determined that supported components have degraded below predetermined reliability thresholds within the product warranty period.

Insight Manager Alert

When Insight Manager alerts you that a component may be eligible for Pre-Failure Warranty replacement, follow the on-screen instructions or contact a Compaq Authorized Service Provider in your area. A yellow status indicator on the Insight Manager control panel signals that a component is in a degraded condition and recommends that you replace the component in a prefailure condition.
