Global Limited Warranty & Technical Support

Types of Warranty Service
To enable HP to provide the best possible support and service during the Limited Warranty
Period, you may be directed by HP to verify configurations, load most recent firmware,
install software patches, run HP diagnostics tests or use HP remote support solutions
where applicable.
HP strongly encourages you to accept the use of, or to employ available support
technologies provided by HP. If you choose not to deploy available remote support
capabilities, you may incur additional costs due to increased support resource
requirements. Listed below are the types of warranty support service that may be
applicable to the HP Hardware Product you have purchased.
On-site Warranty Service
Your HP Limited Warranty service may include on-site labor support to repair your
hardware. HP provides on-site service during standard office hours. Standard office hours
are typically 08.00 to 17.00, Monday through Friday, but may vary with local business
practices. If your location is outside the customary service zone (typically 50km) response
times may be longer or there may be additional charges. To locate the nearest HP
authorized service provider refer to the HP Web site at:

.
HP may, at its sole discretion, determine if on-site warranty service is required. For
example, in many cases, the defect can be fixed by the use of a Customer Self Repair
(CSR) part that you are required to replace yourself based on instructions and
documentation provided by HP. You are also required to co-operate with HP in attempting
to resolve the problem over the telephone. This may involve performing routine diagnostic
procedures, installing software updates or patches, removing third party options and/or
substituting options. In order to receive onsite support, you must: (a) have a representative
present when HP provides warranty services at your site; (b) notify HP if products are
being used in an environment which poses a potential health or safety hazard to HP
employees or subcontractors; (c) subject to its reasonable security requirements, provide
HP with sufficient, free, and safe access to and use of all facilities, information and
systems determined necessary by HP to provide timely support; (d) ensure that all
manufacturers labels (such as serial numbers) are in place , accessible, and legible; (e)
maintain an environment consistent with product specifications and supported
configurations.
If you require an HP representative to handle all component replacements, support uplift
contracts are available at additional cost.
Customer Self Repair Warranty Service
In countries where it is available, your HP Limited Warranty may include a Customer Self
Repair warranty service. If applicable, HP will determine in its sole discretion that
customer self repair is the appropriate method of warranty service. If so, HP will ship
approved replacement parts directly to you to fulfill your HP Hardware Product warranty
service. This will save considerable repair time. After you contact the HP and the fault
diagnosis identifies that the problem can be fixed using one of these parts, a replaceable
part can be sent directly to you. Once the part arrives, replace the defective part pursuant to
the provided instructions and documentation. If further assistance is required, call the HP
Technical Support Center and a technician will assist you over the phone. In cases where
the replacement part must be returned to HP, you must ship the defective part back to HP
within a defined period of time, normally fifteen (15) days. The defective part must be
returned with the associated documentation in the provided shipping material. Failure to
return the defective product may result in HP billing you for the replacement. With a
customer self repair, HP will pay all shipping and part return costs and determine the
