Warranty
Consult the HP Customer Support Center or refer to the Limited Warranty Statement
included with the server for details. Certain restrictions and exclusions apply. For
additional warranty information, visit the HP website at
www.hp.com/servers/proliant/.
The HP Prefailure Warranty helps prevent unplanned shutdowns of the system by
allowing for the replacement of covered parts before they fail. The warranty covers
processors, memory, and hard drives. Insight Manager, included with the system,
must be installed for the HP Prefailure Warranty to be in effect.
When Insight Manager alerts you that a component may be eligible for Pre-Failure
Warranty replacement, follow the onscreen instructions or contact an HP authorized
service provider in your area. An amber status indicator on the Insight Manager
control panel signals that a component is in a prefailure condition and should be
replaced.
