Types of Warranty Service
If required, IBM provides repair or exchange service depending on the type of
warranty service specified for your Machine in the above table and as described
below. Warranty service may be provided by your reseller if approved by IBM to
perform warranty service. Scheduling of service will depend upon the time of your
call and is subject to parts availability. 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.
1. Customer Replaceable Unit ("CRU") Service
IBM provides replacement CRUs 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. Installation of Tier 1 CRUs 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 designated
for your Machine. IBM specifies in the materials shipped with a replacement
CRU whether a defective CRU must be returned to IBM. When return is
required, 1) return instructions and a container are shipped with the replacement
CRU, and 2) you may be charged for the replacement CRU if IBM does not
receive the defective CRU within 30 days of your receipt of the replacement.
2. On-site Service
IBM or your reseller will either repair or exchange the failing Machine at your
location and verify its operation. You must provide suitable working area to allow
disassembly and reassembly of the IBM Machine. The area must be clean, well
lit and suitable for the purpose. For some Machines, certain repairs may require
sending the Machine to an IBM service center.
3. Courier or Depot Service*
You will disconnect the failing Machine for collection arranged by IBM. IBM will
provide you with a shipping container for you to return your Machine to a
designated service center. A courier will pick up your Machine and deliver it to
the designated service center. Following its repair or exchange, IBM will arrange
the return delivery of the Machine to your location. You are responsible for its
installation and verification.
4. Customer Carry-In or Mail-In Service
You will deliver or mail as IBM specifies (prepaid unless IBM specifies
otherwise) the failing Machine suitably packaged to a location IBM designates.
After IBM has repaired or exchanged the Machine, IBM will make it available for
your collection or, for Mail-in Service, IBM will return it to you at IBM's expense,
unless IBM specifies otherwise. You are responsible for the subsequent
installation and verification of the Machine.

This type of Warranty Service is a combination of Type 1 and Type 2 (see
above).
6. CRU and Courier or Depot Service
This type of Warranty Service is a combination of Type 1 and Type 3 (see
