International Warranty Service

If you travel with your xSeries or IntelliStation system or relocate it to a country where your system is sold and serviced by IBM or IBM resellers authorized to perform warranty service, International Warranty Service (IWS) is available during the warranty period. Eligible IBM systems are identified by their four-digit machine types.

You can obtain IWS through the service delivery method (such as depot, carry-in, or on-site) provided in the servicing country. Service methods and procedures vary by country, and some service or parts might not be available in all countries. Service centers in certain countries might not be able to service all models of a particular machine type. In addition, some countries might have fees and restrictions that apply at the time of service.

To determine whether your system is eligible for IWS, go to

Purchasing additional services

During and after the warranty period, you can purchase additional services, such as support for IBM and non-IBM hardware, operating systems, and application programs; network setup and configuration; upgraded or extended hardware repair services; and custom installations. Service availability and service name might vary by country or region.

For more information about these services, contact your IBM marketing representative.
