Appendix B. Warranty information

Appendix B. Warranty information

This section contains information about your warranty period and the service and support that are provided by your warranty.

Warranty period

The warranty period varies by machine type and country or region.

Contact your place of purchase for warranty service information. Some IBM Machines are eligible for on-site warranty service depending on the country or region where service is performed.

Prior to on-site warranty service, you are required to go through problem determination with an IBM service specialist call center technician.

A warranty period of 3 years on parts and 1 year on labor means that IBM will provide warranty service without charge for:

1.parts and labor during the first year of the warranty period

2.parts only, on an exchange basis, in the second and third years of the warranty period. IBM will charge you for any labor it provides in performance of the repair or replacement.

Problem determination

Prior to on-site warranty service, you are required to go through problem determination with an IBM service specialist call center technician. The service specialist will run diagnostic tests on the hardware and check the software.

Running diagnostics

The IBM service specialist will help you determine whether your equipment is functioning as specified. It might be necessary to isolate the failing xSeries, Netfinity®, or IntelliStation system; IBM component; or both from any active production environment to run diagnostics and perform defect-isolation programs. You are responsible for making the system, IBM component, or both available for running diagnostics and defect-isolation programs.
