Srm Excerpts; Definition Of An Alteration - IBM 3454-FCE Customer Install Manual

SRM excerpts

A cable group associated with a purchased IBM machine, and bearing an IBM label, is
the property of the IBM machine owner. All other IBM furnished cable groups (except
those for which specific purchase invoices have been paid) are the property of IBM.
Customers assume all risks associated with turning a machine over to others for the
performance of technical work such as, but not limited to, the installation or removal of
features, alterations or attachments.
IBM will advise the customer of any limitation, resulting from the alteration, affecting
IBM's ability to provide Warranty Service or Maintenance after review by the appropriate
Service Delivery and Field Marketing Practices personnel.

Definition of an alteration

An alteration is any change to an IBM machine that deviates from IBM physical,
mechanical, electrical, or electronic design (including microcode) whether or not
additional devices or parts are used. An alteration is also an interconnection at some
place other than an IBM defined interface. See the Multiple Supplier Systems Bulletin
for more detail.
For an altered machine, service will be confined to the unaltered portions of the IBM
machine.
After inspection, IBM will continue to make Warranty Service or Maintenance available,
as appropriate, for the unaltered portion of an IBM machine.
IBM will not maintain the altered portion of an IBM machine under either an IBM
Agreement or on an Hourly Service basis.
