Systems Insight Display LEDs

The front panel health LEDs indicate only the current hardware status. In some situations, HP SIM might report server status differently than the health LEDs because the software tracks more system attributes. The System Insight Display LEDs identify components experiencing an error, event, or failure.

The Systems Insight Display LEDs are located on the media board. In normal operations, all of the LEDs are off unless one of the components fails.

IMPORTANT: When removing the access panel to view the Systems Insight Display LEDs (on page 16),

leave the server powered on. The Systems Insight Display LEDs are cleared when the server is powered off.

Rack planning resources

The rack resource kit ships with all HP branded or Compaq branded 9000, 10000, and H9 series racks. For more information on the content of each resource, refer to the rack resource kit documentation.

If you intend to deploy and configure multiple servers in a single rack, refer to the white paper on highdensity deployment at the HP website (http://www.hp.com/products/servers/platforms

Optimum environment

When installing the server, select a location that meets the environmental standards described in this

Space and airflow requirements

section.

To allow for servicing and adequate airflow, observe the following space and airflow requirements when deciding where to install a rack:

• Leave a minimum clearance of 63.5 cm (25 in) in front of the rack.

• Leave a minimum clearance of 76.2 cm (30 in) behind the rack.

• Leave a minimum clearance of 121.9 cm (48 in) from the back of the rack to the back of another

rack or row of racks.

HP servers draw in cool air through the front door and expel warm air through the rear door. Therefore, the front and rear rack doors must be adequately ventilated to allow ambient room air to enter the cabinet, and the rear door must be adequately ventilated to allow the warm air to escape from the cabinet.

CAUTION: To prevent improper cooling and damage to the equipment, do not block the ventilation

openings.

When vertical space in the rack is not filled by a server or rack component, the gaps between the components cause changes in airflow through the rack and across the servers. Cover all gaps with blanking panels to maintain proper airflow.

CAUTION: Always use blanking panels to fill empty vertical spaces in the rack. This arrangement ensures

proper airflow. Using a rack without blanking panels results in improper cooling that can lead to thermal damage.

The 9000 and 10000 Series Racks provide proper server cooling from flow-through perforations in the front and rear doors that provide 64 percent open area for ventilation.

CAUTION: When using a Compaq branded 7000 Series rack, you must install the high airflow rack door

insert [P/N 327281-B21 (42U) or P/N 157847-B21 (22U)] to provide proper front-to-back airflow and cooling.

CAUTION: If a third-party rack is used, observe the following additional requirements to ensure adequate

airflow and to prevent damage to the equipment:

Setup 22

• Front and rear doors—If the 42U rack includes closing front and rear doors, you must allow 5,350 sq cm (830 sq in) of holes evenly distributed from top to bottom to permit adequate airflow (equivalent to the required 64 percent open area for ventilation).

• Side—The clearance between the installed rack component and the side panels of the rack must be a minimum of 7 cm (2.75 in).

Temperature requirements

To ensure continued safe and reliable equipment operation, install or position the system in a wellventilated, climate-controlled environment.

The maximum recommended ambient operating temperature (TMRA) for most server products is 35°C (95°F). The temperature in the room where the rack is located must not exceed 35°C (95°F).

CAUTION: To reduce the risk of damage to the equipment when installing third-party options:

• Do not permit optional equipment to impede airflow around the server or to increase the internal rack temperature beyond the maximum allowable limits.

• Do not exceed the manufacturer’s TMRA.

Power requirements

Installation of this equipment must comply with local and regional electrical regulations governing the installation of information technology equipment by licensed electricians. This equipment is designed to operate in installations covered by NFPA 70, 1999 Edition (National Electric Code) and NFPA-75, 1992 (code for Protection of Electronic Computer/Data Processing Equipment). For electrical power ratings on options, refer to the product rating label or the user documentation supplied with that option.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, fire, or damage to the equipment, do

not overload the AC supply branch circuit that provides power to the rack. Consult the electrical authority having jurisdiction over wiring and installation requirements of your facility.

CAUTION: Protect the server from power fluctuations and temporary interruptions with a regulating

uninterruptible power supply (UPS). This device protects the hardware from damage caused by power surges and voltage spikes and keeps the system in operation during a power failure.

When installing more than one server, you may need to use additional power distribution devices to safely provide power to all devices. Observe the following guidelines:

• Balance the server power load between available AC supply branch circuits.

• Do not allow the overall system AC current load to exceed 80 percent of the branch circuit AC

current rating.

• Do not use common power outlet strips for this equipment.

• Provide a separate electrical circuit for the server.

Rack warnings and cautions

WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment, be sure

that:

Setup 23

• The leveling jacks are extended to the floor.

• The full weight of the rack rests on the leveling jacks.

• The stabilizing feet are attached to the rack if it is a single-rack installation.

• The racks are coupled together in multiple-rack installations.

• Only one component is extended at a time. A rack may become unstable if more than

one component is extended for any reason.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or equipment damage when unloading

a rack:

• At least two people are needed to safely unload the rack from the pallet. An empty 42U rack can weigh as much as 115 kg (253 lb), can stand more than 2.1 m (7 ft) tall, and may become unstable when being moved on its casters.

• Never stand in front of the rack when it is rolling down the ramp from the pallet. Always handle the rack from both sides.

WARNING: When installing a server in a telco rack, be sure that the rack frame is

adequately secured to the top and bottom of the building structure.

WARNING: This server is very heavy. To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to

the equipment:

• Observe local occupational health and safety requirements and guidelines for manual material handling.

• Get help to lift and stabilize the product during installation or removal, especially when the product is not fastened to the rails. When the server weighs more than 22.5 kg (50 lb), at least two people must lift the server into the rack together. A third person may be required to help align the server if the server is installed higher than chest level.

• Use caution when installing the server in or removing the server from the rack; it is unstable when not fastened to the rails.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the drives and

the internal system components to cool before touching them.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, electric shock, or damage to the

equipment, remove the power cord to remove power from the server. The front panel Power On/Standby button does not completely shut off system power. Portions of the power supply and some internal circuitry remain active until AC power is removed.

CAUTION: Protect the server from power fluctuations and temporary interruptions with a regulating

uninterruptible power supply (UPS). This device protects the hardware from damage caused by power surges and voltage spikes and keeps the system in operation during a power failure.

CAUTION: Do not operate the server for long periods with the access panel open or removed. Operating

the server in this manner results in improper airflow and improper cooling that can lead to thermal damage.

Electrical grounding requirements

The server must be grounded properly for proper operation and safety. In the United States, you must install the equipment in accordance with NFPA 70, 1999 Edition (National Electric Code), Article 250, as well as any local and regional building codes. In Canada, you must install the equipment in accordance with Canadian Standards Association, CSA C22.1, Canadian Electrical Code. In all other countries, you must install the equipment in accordance with any regional or national electrical wiring codes, such as the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) Code 364, parts 1 through 7.

Setup 24

Furthermore, you must be sure that all power distribution devices used in the installation, such as branch wiring and receptacles, are listed or certified grounding-type devices.

Because of the high ground-leakage currents associated with multiple servers connected to the same power source, HP recommends the use of a PDU that is either permanently wired to the building’s branch circuit or includes a nondetachable cord that is wired to an industrial-style plug. NEMA locking-style plugs or those complying with IEC 60309 are considered suitable for this purpose. Using common power outlet strips for the server is not recommended.

The server contains 32 DIMM slots. You can expand server memory by installing supported PC2-5300 667-MHz Registered DDR2 DIMMs. The maximum supported memory for this server is 128 GB using 32

Advanced ECC memory

Installing DIMMs

4-GB DIMMs.

Advanced ECC memory is the default memory protection mode for this server. In Advanced ECC, the server is protected against correctable memory errors. The server provides notification if the level of correctable errors exceeds a pre-defined threshold rate. The server does not fail because of correctable memory errors. Advanced ECC provides additional protection over Standard ECC because it is possible to correct certain memory errors that would otherwise be uncorrectable and result in a server failure.

Whereas standard ECC can correct single-bit memory errors, Advanced ECC can correct single-bit memory errors and multi-bit memory errors if all failed bits are on the same DRAM device on the DIMM.

At least one pair of DIMMs must be installed in slots 1A and 2A ("DIMM slot identification" on page 9) to operate the server.

Observe the following DIMM installation guidelines to add additional memory to the server:

• DIMMs must be installed in pairs.

• DIMM installed on the same memory bank must have the same part number.

• DIMMs installed in different banks can be of different sizes.

• DIMMs must be installed in decreasing capacity with the largest DIMMs installed in the banks

furthest away from each processor.

Hardware options installation 40

NOTE: If all four banks on a memory node ("DIMM slot identification" on page 9) are populated, the

maximum memory clock speed will be 533 MHz. If two or fewer banks on a memory node are populated, the maximum memory clock speed will be 677 MHz.

To install a DIMM:

1. Power down the server (on page 27).

2. Remove the processor memory module, and open the cover ("Removing the processor memory

module" on page 32).

3. Open the DIMM slot latches.

4. Install the DIMM.

IMPORTANT: By default, the DVD drive is installed in the lower drive bay. To boot from a DVD or CD-RW

drive in the upper drive bay or to boot from a diskette drive in the lower bay, change the boot device selector switch to FLP BOT ("Boot device selector switch (SW1)" on page 16).

Hardware options installation 43

NOTE: If two DVD or CD-RW drives are installed in the server, the server will first attempt to boot from the

primary drive ("Boot device selector switch (SW1)" on page 16). The boot device selector switch setting determines which drive is the primary drive.

4. Power up the server (on page 27).

Hot-plug power supplies

The server supports a second hot-plug power supply to provide redundant power to the system in the event of a failure in the primary power supply. You can install or replace a second hot-plug power supply without powering down the server.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to the equipment:

• Do not disable the power cord grounding plug. The grounding plug is an important safety feature.

• Plug the power cord into a grounded (earthed) electrical outlet that is easily accessible at all times.

• Unplug the power cord from the power supply to disconnect power to the equipment.

• Do not route the power cord where it can be walked on or pinched by items placed

against it. Pay particular attention to the plug, electrical outlet, and the point where the cord extends from the server.

CAUTION: If only one power supply is installed, do not remove the power supply unless the server has

been powered down. Removing the only operational power supply will cause an immediate power loss.

Battery-backed write cache

The HP BBWC protects against hard boot, power, controller, and system board failures. The server supports the following battery-backed options:

Hardware options installation 47

256-MB BBWC option

•

• 512-MB BBWC option

The BBWC consists of two parts: a battery pack and a storage cache module. Along with the cache module, the battery pack provides transportable data protection, increases overall

controller performance, and maintains any cached data for up to 72 hours after the server loses power. The NiMH batteries in the battery pack are continuously recharged through a trickle-charging process whenever the system power is on.

CAUTION: To prevent a server malfunction or damage to the equipment, do not add or remove the battery

pack while an array capacity expansion, RAID level migration, or stripe size migration is in progress.

CAUTION: After the server is powered down, wait 15 seconds and then check the amber LED before

unplugging the cable from the cache module. If the amber LED blinks after 15 seconds, do not remove the cable from the cache module. The cache module is backing up data, and data is lost if the cable is detached.

IMPORTANT: The battery pack might have a low charge when installed. In this case, a POST error

message is displayed when the server is powered up, indicating that the battery pack is temporarily disabled. No action is necessary on your part. The internal circuitry automatically recharges the batteries and enables the battery pack. This process might take up to four hours. During this time, the cache module functions properly, but without the performance advantage of the battery pack.

NOTE: The data protection and the time limit also apply if a power outage occurs. When power is restored

to the system, an initialization process writes the preserved data to the hard drives.

To upgrade the BBWC:

1. Close all applications, and power down the server (on page 27). This procedure flushes all data

from the cache.

2. Extend the server from the rack ("Extending the server from the rack" on page 27).

3. Remove the access panel ("Removing the access panel" on page 29).

4. If the existing cache is connected to a battery, observe the BBWC Status LED ("Battery pack LEDs" on

page 18).

• If the LED is blinking every 2 seconds, data is still trapped in the cache. Restore system power,

and repeat the previous steps.

Hardware options installation 48

If the LED is not lit, disconnect the battery cable from the cache.

•

5. Remove the controller.

Hardware options installation 49

Remove the cache module from the controller.

7. Install the new cache on the controller. Press firmly above each connector to ensure good electrical

contact.

IMPORTANT: If the cache is not properly connected, the controller will not boot.

8. Replace the controller in the server. The controller is installed in expansion slot 9.

9. Install the battery, if applicable. a. Plug the battery cable (supplied in the battery pack kit) into the battery pack.

Hardware options installation 50

Install the battery pack into the server.

10. Route the cable, and connect it to the cache module.

NOTE: After installing a battery pack, you might see a POST message during reboot indicating that the

array accelerator (cache) is temporarily disabled. This is normal, because the new battery pack is likely to have a low charge. You do not need to take any action, because the recharge process begins automatically when the battery pack is installed. The controller will operate properly while the battery pack recharges, although the performance advantage of the array accelerator will be absent. When the battery pack has been charged to a satisfactory level, the array accelerator will automatically be enabled.

Management tools

Automatic Server Recovery

ASR is a feature that causes the system to restart when a catastrophic operating system error occurs, such as a blue screen, ABEND, or panic. A system fail-safe timer, the ASR timer, starts when the System Management driver, also known as the Health Driver, is loaded. When the operating system is functioning properly, the system periodically resets the timer. However, when the operating system fails, the timer expires and restarts the server.

ASR increases server availability by restarting the server within a specified time after a system hang or shutdown. At the same time, the HP SIM console notifies you by sending a message to a designated pager number that ASR has restarted the system. You can disable ASR from the HP SIM console or

For the purpose of regulatory compliance certifications and identification, this product has been assigned a unique regulatory model number. The regulatory model number can be found on the product nameplate label, along with all required approval markings and information. When requesting compliance information for this product, always refer to this regulatory model number. The regulatory model number is not the marketing name or model number of the product.

Federal Communications Commission notice

Part 15 of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Rules and Regulations has established Radio Frequency (RF) emission limits to provide an interference-free radio frequency spectrum. Many electronic devices, including computers, generate RF energy incidental to their intended function and are, therefore, covered by these rules. These rules place computers and related peripheral devices into two classes, A and B, depending upon their intended installation. Class A devices are those that may reasonably be expected to be installed in a business or commercial environment. Class B devices are those that may reasonably be expected to be installed in a residential environment (for example, personal computers). The FCC requires devices in both classes to bear a label indicating the interference potential of the device

FCC rating label

as well as additional operating instructions for the user.

The FCC rating label on the device shows the classification (A or B) of the equipment. Class B devices have an FCC logo or ID on the label. Class A devices do not have an FCC logo or ID on the label. After you determine the class of the device, refer to the corresponding statement.

Grounding methods to prevent electrostatic discharge ................................................................................ 88

Preventing electrostatic discharge

To prevent damaging the system, be aware of the precautions you need to follow when setting up the system or handling parts. A discharge of static electricity from a finger or other conductor may damage system boards or other static-sensitive devices. This type of damage may reduce the life expectancy of the device.

To prevent electrostatic damage:

• Avoid hand contact by transporting and storing products in static-safe containers.

• Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at static-free workstations.

• Place parts on a grounded surface before removing them from their containers.

• Avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry.

• Always be properly grounded when touching a static-sensitive component or assembly.

Grounding methods to prevent electrostatic discharge

Several methods are used for grounding. Use one or more of the following methods when handling or installing electrostatic-sensitive parts:

• Use a wrist strap connected by a ground cord to a grounded workstation or computer chassis. Wrist

straps are flexible straps with a minimum of 1 megohm ±10 percent resistance in the ground cords. To provide proper ground, wear the strap snug against the skin.

• Use heel straps, toe straps, or boot straps at standing workstations. Wear the straps on both feet

when standing on conductive floors or dissipating floor mats.

• Use conductive field service tools.

• Use a portable field service kit with a folding static-dissipating work mat.

If you do not have any of the suggested equipment for proper grounding, have an authorized reseller install the part.

For more information on static electricity or assistance with product installation, contact an authorized reseller.

Customer Self Repair

HP products are designed with many Customer Self Repair (CSR) parts to minimize repair time and allow for greater flexibility in performing defective parts replacement. If during the diagnosis period HP (or HP service providers or service partners) identifies that the repair can be accomplished by the use of a CSR part, HP will ship that part directly to you for replacement. There are two categories of CSR parts:

). To contact HP by phone:

Technical support 91

Mandatory—Parts for which customer self repair is mandatory. If you request HP to replace these

•

parts, you will be charged for the travel and labor costs of this service.

• Optional—Parts for which customer self repair is optional. These parts are also designed for

customer self repair. If, however, you require that HP replace them for you, there may or may not be additional charges, depending on the type of warranty service designated for your product.

NOTE: Some HP parts are not designed for customer self repair. In order to satisfy the customer warranty, HP requires that an authorized service provider replace the part. These parts are identified as "No" in the Illustrated Parts Catalog.

Based on availability and where geography permits, CSR parts will be shipped for next business day delivery. Same day or four-hour delivery may be offered at an additional charge where geography permits. If assistance is required, you can call the HP Technical Support Center and a technician will help you over the telephone. HP specifies in the materials shipped with a replacement CSR part whether a defective part must be returned to HP. In cases where it is required to return the defective part to HP, you must ship the defective part back to HP within a defined period of time, normally five (5) business days. The defective part must be returned with the associated documentation in the provided shipping material. Failure to return the defective part 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 courier/carrier to be used.

For more information about HP's Customer Self Repair program, contact your local service provider. For the North American program, refer to the HP website (http://www.hp.com/go/selfrepair

Réparation par le client (CSR)

Les produits HP comportent de nombreuses pièces CSR (Customer Self Repair = réparation par le client) afin de minimiser les délais de réparation et faciliter le remplacement des pièces défectueuses. Si pendant la période de diagnostic, HP (ou ses partenaires ou mainteneurs agréés) détermine que la réparation peut être effectuée à l'aide d'une pièce CSR, HP vous l'envoie directement. Il existe deux catégories de pièces CSR:

• Obligatoire - Pièces pour lesquelles la réparation par le client est obligatoire. Si vous demandez à

HP de remplacer ces pièces, les coûts de déplacement et main d'œuvre du service vous seront facturés.

• Facultatif - Pièces pour lesquelles la réparation par le client est facultative. Ces pièces sont

également conçues pour permettre au client d'effectuer lui-même la réparation. Toutefois, si vous demandez à HP de remplacer ces pièces, l'intervention peut ou non vous être facturée, selon le type de garantie applicable à votre produit.

REMARQUE: Certaines pièces HP ne sont pas conçues pour permettre au client d'effectuer lui-même la réparation. Pour que la garantie puisse s'appliquer, HP exige que le remplacement de la pièce soit effectué par un Mainteneur Agréé. Ces pièces sont identifiées par la mention "Non" dans le Catalogue illustré.

Les pièces CSR sont livrées le jour ouvré suivant, dans la limite des stocks disponibles et selon votre situation géographique. Si votre situation géographique le permet et que vous demandez une livraison le jour même ou dans les 4 heures, celle-ci vous sera facturée. Pour bénéficier d'une assistance téléphonique, appelez le Centre d'assistance technique HP. Dans les documents envoyés avec la pièce de rechange CSR, HP précise s'il est nécessaire de lui retourner la pièce défectueuse. Si c'est le cas, vous devez le faire dans le délai indiqué, généralement cinq (5) jours ouvrés. La pièce et sa documentation doivent être retournées dans l'emballage fourni. Si vous ne retournez pas la pièce défectueuse, HP se réserve le droit de vous facturer les coûts de remplacement. Dans le cas d'une pièce CSR, HP supporte l'ensemble des frais d'expédition et de retour, et détermine la société de courses ou le transporteur à utiliser.

Riparazione da parte del cliente

Per abbreviare i tempi di riparazione e garantire una maggiore flessibilità nella sostituzione di parti difettose, i prodotti HP sono realizzati con numerosi componenti che possono essere riparati direttamente dal cliente (CSR, Customer Self Repair). Se in fase di diagnostica HP (o un centro di servizi o di assistenza HP) identifica il guasto come riparabile mediante un ricambio CSR, HP lo spedirà direttamente al cliente per la sostituzione. Vi sono due categorie di parti CSR:

• Obbligatorie – Parti che devono essere necessariamente riparate dal cliente. Se il cliente ne affida

la riparazione ad HP, deve sostenere le spese di spedizione e di manodopera per il servizio.

• Opzionali – Parti la cui riparazione da parte del cliente è facoltativa. Si tratta comunque di

componenti progettati per questo scopo. Se tuttavia il cliente ne richiede la sostituzione ad HP, potrebbe dover sostenere spese addizionali a seconda del tipo di garanzia previsto per il prodotto.

NOTA: alcuni componenti HP non sono progettati per la riparazione da parte del cliente. Per rispettare la garanzia, HP richiede che queste parti siano sostituite da un centro di assistenza autorizzato. Tali parti sono identificate da un "No" nel Catalogo illustrato dei componenti.

In base alla disponibilità e alla località geografica, le parti CSR vengono spedite con consegna entro il giorno lavorativo seguente. La consegna nel giorno stesso o entro quattro ore è offerta con un supplemento di costo solo in alcune zone. In caso di necessità si può richiedere l'assistenza telefonica di un addetto del centro di supporto tecnico HP. Nel materiale fornito con una parte di ricambio CSR, HP specifica se il cliente deve restituire dei componenti. Qualora sia richiesta la resa ad HP del componente difettoso, lo si deve spedire ad HP entro un determinato periodo di tempo, generalmente cinque (5) giorni lavorativi. Il componente difettoso deve essere restituito con la documentazione associata nell'imballo di spedizione fornito. La mancata restituzione del componente può comportare la fatturazione del ricambio da parte di HP. Nel caso di riparazione da parte del cliente, HP sostiene tutte le spese di spedizione e resa e sceglie il corriere/vettore da utilizzare.

Per ulteriori informazioni sul programma CSR di HP contattare il centro di assistenza di zona. Per il programma in Nord America fare riferimento al sito Web HP (http://www.hp.com/go/selfrepair

Customer Self Repair

HP Produkte enthalten viele CSR-Teile (Customer Self Repair), um Reparaturzeiten zu minimieren und höhere Flexibilität beim Austausch defekter Bauteile zu ermöglichen. Wenn HP (oder ein HP Servicepartner) bei der Diagnose feststellt, dass das Produkt mithilfe eines CSR-Teils repariert werden kann, sendet Ihnen HP dieses Bauteil zum Austausch direkt zu. CSR-Teile werden in zwei Kategorien unterteilt:

• Zwingend – Teile, für die das Customer Self Repair-Verfahren zwingend vorgegeben ist. Wenn Sie

den Austausch dieser Teile von HP vornehmen lassen, werden Ihnen die Anfahrt- und Arbeitskosten für diesen Service berechnet.

• Optional – Teile, für die das Customer Self Repair-Verfahren optional ist. Diese Teile sind auch für

Customer Self Repair ausgelegt. Wenn Sie jedoch den Austausch dieser Teile von HP vornehmen lassen möchten, können bei diesem Service je nach den für Ihr Produkt vorgesehenen Garantiebedingungen zusätzliche Kosten anfallen.

HINWEIS: Einige Teile sind nicht für Customer Self Repair ausgelegt. Um den Garantieanspruch des Kunden zu erfüllen, muss das Teil von einem HP Servicepartner ersetzt werden. Im illustrierten Teilekatalog sind diese Teile mit „No“ bzw. „Nein“ gekennzeichnet.

Technical support 93

CSR-Teile werden abhängig von der Verfügbarkeit und vom Lieferziel am folgenden Geschäftstag geliefert. Für bestimmte Standorte ist eine Lieferung am selben Tag oder innerhalb von vier Stunden gegen einen Aufpreis verfügbar. Wenn Sie Hilfe benötigen, können Sie das HP technische Support Center anrufen und sich von einem Mitarbeiter per Telefon helfen lassen. Den Materialien, die mit einem CSRErsatzteil geliefert werden, können Sie entnehmen, ob das defekte Teil an HP zurückgeschickt werden muss. Wenn es erforderlich ist, das defekte Teil an HP zurückzuschicken, müssen Sie dies innerhalb eines vorgegebenen Zeitraums tun, in der Regel innerhalb von fünf (5) Geschäftstagen. Das defekte Teil muss mit der zugehörigen Dokumentation in der Verpackung zurückgeschickt werden, die im Lieferumfang enthalten ist. Wenn Sie das defekte Teil nicht zurückschicken, kann HP Ihnen das Ersatzteil in Rechnung stellen. Im Falle von Customer Self Repair kommt HP für alle Kosten für die Lieferung und Rücksendung auf und bestimmt den Kurier-/Frachtdienst.

Reparaciones del propio cliente

Los productos de HP incluyen muchos componentes que el propio usuario puede reemplazar (Customer Self Repair, CSR) para minimizar el tiempo de reparación y ofrecer una mayor flexibilidad a la hora de realizar sustituciones de componentes defectuosos. Si, durante la fase de diagnóstico, HP (o los proveedores o socios de servicio de HP) identifica que una reparación puede llevarse a cabo mediante el uso de un componente CSR, HP le enviará dicho componente directamente para que realice su sustitución. Los componentes CSR se clasifican en dos categorías:

• Obligatorio: componentes para los que la reparación por parte del usuario es obligatoria. Si

solicita a HP que realice la sustitución de estos componentes, tendrá que hacerse cargo de los gastos de desplazamiento y de mano de obra de dicho servicio.

• Opcional: componentes para los que la reparación por parte del usuario es opcional. Estos

componentes también están diseñados para que puedan ser reparados por el usuario. Sin embargo, si precisa que HP realice su sustitución, puede o no conllevar costes adicionales, dependiendo del tipo de servicio de garantía correspondiente al producto.

NOTA: Algunos componentes no están diseñados para que puedan ser reparados por el usuario. Para que el usuario haga valer su garantía, HP pone como condición que un proveedor de servicios autorizado realice la sustitución de estos componentes. Dichos componentes se identifican con la palabra "No" en el catálogo ilustrado de componentes.

Según la disponibilidad y la situación geográfica, los componentes CSR se enviarán para que lleguen a su destino al siguiente día laborable. Si la situación geográfica lo permite, se puede solicitar la entrega en el mismo día o en cuatro horas con un coste adicional. Si precisa asistencia técnica, puede llamar al Centro de asistencia técnica de HP y recibirá ayuda telefónica por parte de un técnico. Con el envío de materiales para la sustitución de componentes CSR, HP especificará si los componentes defectuosos deberán devolverse a HP. En aquellos casos en los que sea necesario devolver algún componente a HP, deberá hacerlo en el periodo de tiempo especificado, normalmente cinco días laborables. Los componentes defectuosos deberán devolverse con toda la documentación relacionada y con el embalaje de envío. Si no enviara el componente defectuoso requerido, HP podrá cobrarle por el de sustitución.

Customer Self Repair

Veel onderdelen in HP producten zijn door de klant zelf te repareren, waardoor de reparatieduur tot een minimum beperkt kan blijven en de flexibiliteit in het vervangen van defecte onderdelen groter is. Deze onderdelen worden CSR-onderdelen (Customer Self Repair) genoemd. Als HP (of een HP Service Partner) bij de diagnose vaststelt dat de reparatie kan worden uitgevoerd met een CSR-onderdeel, verzendt HP dat onderdeel rechtstreeks naar u, zodat u het defecte onderdeel daarmee kunt vervangen. Er zijn twee categorieën CSR-onderdelen:

• Verplicht: Onderdelen waarvoor reparatie door de klant verplicht is. Als u HP verzoekt deze

onderdelen voor u te vervangen, worden u voor deze service reiskosten en arbeidsloon in rekening gebracht.

• Optioneel: Onderdelen waarvoor reparatie door de klant optioneel is. Ook deze onderdelen zijn

ontworpen voor reparatie door de klant. Als u echter HP verzoekt deze onderdelen voor u te vervangen, kunnen daarvoor extra kosten in rekening worden gebracht, afhankelijk van het type garantieservice voor het product.

OPMERKING: Sommige HP onderdelen zijn niet ontwikkeld voor reparatie door de klant. In verband met de garantievoorwaarden moet het onderdeel door een geautoriseerde Service Partner worden vervangen. Deze onderdelen worden in de geïllustreerde onderdelencatalogus aangemerkt met "Nee".

Afhankelijk van de leverbaarheid en de locatie worden CSR-onderdelen verzonden voor levering op de eerstvolgende werkdag. Levering op dezelfde dag of binnen vier uur kan tegen meerkosten worden aangeboden, indien dit mogelijk is gezien de locatie. Indien assistentie gewenst is, belt u een HP Service Partner om via de telefoon technische ondersteuning te ontvangen. HP vermeldt in de documentatie bij het vervangende CSR-onderdeel of het defecte onderdeel aan HP moet worden geretourneerd. Als het defecte onderdeel aan HP moet worden teruggezonden, moet u het defecte onderdeel binnen een bepaalde periode, gewoonlijk vijf (5) werkdagen, retourneren aan HP. Het defecte onderdeel moet met de bijbehorende documentatie worden geretourneerd in het meegeleverde verpakkingsmateriaal. Als u het defecte onderdeel niet terugzendt, kan HP u voor het vervangende onderdeel kosten in rekening brengen. Bij reparatie door de klant betaalt HP alle verzendkosten voor het vervangende en geretourneerde onderdeel en kiest HP zelf welke koerier/transportonderneming hiervoor wordt gebruikt.

Neem contact op met een Service Partner voor meer informatie over het Customer Self Repair programma van HP. Informatie over Service Partners vindt u op de HP website (http://www.hp.nl/services/servicepartners

Reparo feito pelo cliente

Os produtos da HP são projetados com muitas peças para reparo feito pelo cliente (CSR) de modo a minimizar o tempo de reparo e permitir maior flexibilidade na substituição de peças com defeito. Se, durante o período de diagnóstico, a HP (ou fornecedores/parceiros de serviço da HP) concluir que o reparo pode ser efetuado pelo uso de uma peça CSR, a peça de reposição será enviada diretamente ao cliente. Existem duas categorias de peças CSR:

• Obrigatória – Peças cujo reparo feito pelo cliente é obrigatório. Se desejar que a HP substitua

essas peças, serão cobradas as despesas de transporte e mão-de-obra do serviço.

• Opcional – Peças cujo reparo feito pelo cliente é opcional. Essas peças também são projetadas

para o reparo feito pelo cliente. No entanto, se desejar que a HP as substitua, pode haver ou não a cobrança de taxa adicional, dependendo do tipo de serviço de garantia destinado ao produto.

OBSERVAÇÃO: Algumas peças da HP não são projetadas para o reparo feito pelo cliente. A fim de cumprir a garantia do cliente, a HP exige que um técnico autorizado substitua a peça. Essas peças estão identificadas com a marca "No" (Não), no catálogo de peças ilustrado.

Technical support 95

Conforme a disponibilidade e o local geográfico, as peças CSR serão enviadas no primeiro dia útil após o pedido. Onde as condições geográficas permitirem, a entrega no mesmo dia ou em quatro horas pode ser feita mediante uma taxa adicional. Se precisar de auxílio, entre em contato com o Centro de suporte técnico da HP para que um técnico o ajude por telefone. A HP especifica nos materiais fornecidos com a peça CSR de reposição se a peça com defeito deve ser devolvida à HP. Nos casos em que isso for necessário, é preciso enviar a peça com defeito à HP dentro do período determinado, normalmente cinco (5) dias úteis. A peça com defeito deve ser enviada com a documentação correspondente no material de transporte fornecido. Caso não o faça, a HP poderá cobrar a reposição. Para as peças de reparo feito pelo cliente, a HP paga todas as despesas de transporte e de devolução da peça e determina a transportadora/serviço postal a ser utilizado.
