Support
A support Flex Care Pack with at least the same level of care as the server blade to be upgraded (the Monarch Server) should have been purchased when the Upgrade Kit was ordered. Your HP sales representative will apply the support package to the upgraded server blade and provide credit for the unused portion of the package purchased for the original Monarch Server. The new Flex Care Pack must be registered with the serial number of the original Monarch Server (now attached to the upgraded server) included to ensure support entitlement.
