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
