IBM System x3400 M2 Manual page 25

Optional IBM features initially installed in an IBM machine carry the same warranty
period as the machine. If installed after the initial machine installation, they carry
the balance of the machine warranty or the optional feature warranty, whichever is
greater.
The following has been designated as consumable or supply item and is, therefore,
not covered by this warranty:
• Battery
Warranty service
If required, IBM provides repair or exchange service, depending on the type of
warranty service specified below for the machine. IBM will attempt to resolve your
problem over the telephone or electronically by access to an IBM Web site. Certain
machines contain remote support capabilities for direct problem reporting, remote
problem determination, and resolution with IBM. You must follow the problem
determination and resolution procedures that IBM specifies. Following problem
determination, if IBM determines On-site Service is required, scheduling of service
will depend upon the time of your call, machine technology and redundancy,
and availability of parts. Service levels are response-time objectives and are not
guaranteed. The specified level of warranty service may not be available in all
worldwide locations. Additional charges may apply outside IBM's normal service
area. Contact your local IBM representative or your reseller for country- and
location-specific information.
The type of service is Customer Replaceable Unit (for example, keyboard, mouse,
speaker, memory, or hard disk drive) Service and On-site Service.
Customer Replaceable Unit (CRU) Service
IBM provides a replacement CRU to you for you to install. CRU information and
replacement instructions are shipped with your machine and are available from
IBM at any time on your request. A CRU is designated as being either a Tier 1
(mandatory) or a Tier 2 (optional) CRU. Installation of Tier 1 CRUs, as specified
in this announcement, is your responsibility. If IBM installs a Tier 1 CRU at your
request, you will be charged for the installation. You may install a Tier 2 CRU
yourself or request IBM to install it, at no additional charge, under the type of
warranty service specified below, On-site Service.
Based upon availability, a CRU will be shipped for next-business-day (NBD) delivery.
IBM specifies in the materials shipped with a replacement CRU whether a defective
CRU must be returned to IBM. When return is required, return instructions and a
container are shipped with the replacement CRU, and you may be charged for the
replacement CRU if IBM does not receive the defective CRU within 15 days of your
receipt of the replacement.
