Product positioning

In the System x line of UPS offerings, the 1000VA and 1500VA LCD UPS options

add a higher level of power support for IBM systems. These products do not replace

any current offerings, but will reduce usage of the APC UPS 5000, since these new

offerings have much higher watt-per-U space, higher quality power conditioning, and

more management options.

These UPS products join the currently available IBM UPS family; they are high-

availability UPS options in a tower form.

IBM Electronic Services

IBM has transformed its delivery of hardware and software support services to

help you achieve higher system availability. Electronic Services is a Web-enabled

solution that offers an exclusive, no-additional-charge enhancement to the service

and support available for IBM servers. These services are designed to provide

the opportunity for greater system availability with faster problem resolution

and preemptive monitoring. Electronic Services comprises two separate, but

IBM United States Hardware Announcement 110-210

IBM is a registered trademark of International Business Machines Corporation

complementary, elements: Electronic Services news page and Electronic Services

Agent.

The Electronic Services news page is a single Internet entry point that replaces the

multiple entry points traditionally used to access IBM Internet services and support.

The news page enables you to gain easier access to IBM resources for assistance in

resolving technical problems.

The Electronic Service Agent^TMis no-additional-charge software that resides on

your server. It monitors events and transmits system inventory information to IBM

on a periodic, client-defined timetable. The Electronic Service Agent automatically

reports hardware problems to IBM. Early knowledge about potential problems

enables IBM to deliver proactive service that may result in higher system availability

and performance. In addition, information collected through the Service Agent is

made available to IBM service support representatives when they help answer your

questions or diagnose problems. Installation and use of IBM Electronic Service Agent

for problem reporting enables IBM to provide better support and service for your

IBM server.

Extended Warranty Service

This product is provided with three years of standard warranty.

IBM United States Hardware Announcement 110-210

IBM is a registered trademark of International Business Machines Corporation

An IBM part or feature installed during the initial installation of an IBM machine is

subject to a full warranty effective on the date of installation of the machine. An IBM

part or feature which replaces a previously installed part or feature assumes the

remainder of the warranty period for the replaced part or feature. An IBM part or

feature added to a machine without replacing a previously installed part or feature

is subject to a full warranty effective on its date of installation. Unless specified

otherwise, the warranty period, type of warranty service, and service level of a part

or feature is the same as the machine it is installed.

The following have been designated as consumables or supply items and are,

therefore, not covered by this warranty:

• None

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 website. 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 designated for your Machine.

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.

The following parts have been designated as Tier 1 CRUs:

• 1000VA 120V Tower UPS Chassis

• 1000VA 100V Tower UPS Chassis

• 1000VA 230V Tower UPS Chassis

the failing machine at your location and verify its operation. If required, On-site

Repair is provided, 9 hours per day, Monday through Friday excluding holidays,

NBD response. You must provide a suitable working area to allow disassembly and

reassembly of the IBM machine. The area must be clean, well lit, and suitable for

the purpose. On-site Service is not available in all countries, and some countries

have kilometer or mileage limitations from an IBM service center. In those locations

where On-site Service is not available, the normal in-country service delivery is

used.

Call IBM at 1-800-IBM-SERV (426-7378) to assist with problem isolation for

hardware to determine if warranty service is required. Telephone support may be

subject to additional charges, even during the limited warranty period.

Calls must be received by 5:00 p.m. local time in order to qualify for NBD service.

International Warranty Service

International Warranty Service (IWS) is available in selected countries or regions.

The warranty service type and the service level provided in the servicing country

may be different from that provided in the country in which the machine was

purchased.

Under IWS, warranty service will be provided with the prevailing warranty service

type and service level available for the IWS-eligible machine type in the servicing

country, and the warranty period observed will be that of the country in which the

machine was purchased.
