Once the Customer has placed and HP has acknowledged the receipt of a
call as described in the ‘General provisions/Other exclusions’ section,
HP will work during the coverage window to isolate the hardware incident
and to remotely troubleshoot, remedy, and resolve the incident with the
Customer. Prior to any onsite assistance, HP may initiate and perform
remote diagnostics using electronic remote support solutions to access
covered products, or HP may use other means available to facilitate remote
incident resolution.
HP will provide telephone assistance during the service coverage window
for installation of customer-installable rmware and Customer Self Repair
(CSR) parts.
Regardless of the Customer’s coverage window, incidents with covered
hardware can be reported to HP via telephone or Web portal, as locally
available, or as an automated equipment reporting event via the HP electronic
remote suppor t solutions 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. HP retains the right
to determine the nal resolution of all reported incidents.
For hardware incidents that cannot, in HP’s judgement, be resolved
remotely, an HP authorised representative will provide onsite technical
support on covered hardware products to return them to operating
condition. For certain products, HP may, at its sole discretion, elect to
replace such products in lieu of repairing them. Replacement products are
new or functionally equivalent to new in performance. Replaced products
become the property of HP.
Once an HP authorised representative arrives at the Customer’s site, the
representative will continue to deliver the service, either onsite or remotely,
at the discretion of HP, until the products are repaired. Work may be
temporarily suspended if parts or additional resources are required, but work
will resume when they become available. Work to completion may not apply
to onsite support provided for desktop, mobile, and consumer products.
Repair is considered complete upon HP verication that the hardware
malfunction has been corrected or that the hardware has been replaced.

HP will acknowledge a call by logging a case, communicating the case ID to the Customer,
and conrming the Customer’s incident severity and time requirements for commencement
of remedial action. Note: For events received via the HP electronic remote support solutions,

and arrange access to the system before the hardware call-to-repair time or hardware
onsite response time period can start.

degraded;
production system or production application degraded with workaround in place;
