IBM License Agreement for Machine Code
Regardless of how you acquire (electronically, preloaded, on media or otherwise)
BIOS, Utilities, Diagnostics, Device Drivers or Microcode (collectively called
“Machine Code”), you accept the terms of this Agreement by your initial use of a
Machine or Machine Code. The term “Machine” means an IBM machine, its
features, conversions, upgrades, elements or accessories, or any combination of
them. Acceptance of these license terms authorizes you to use Machine Code with
the specific product for which it is provided.
International Business Machines Corporation or one of its subsidiaries (“IBM”), or an
IBM supplier, owns copyrights in Machine Code.
IBM grants you a nonexclusive license to use Machine Code only in conjunction
with a Machine. As the rightful possessor of a Machine, you may make a
reasonable number of copies of Machine Code as necessary for backup,
configuration, and restoration of the Machine. You must reproduce the copyright
notice and any other legend of ownership on each copy of Machine Code you
make.
You may transfer possession of Machine Code and its media to another party only
with the transfer of the Machine on which the Machine Code is used. If you do so,
you must give the other party a copy of these terms and provide all user
documentation to that party. When you do so, you must destroy all your copies of
Machine Code.
Your license for Machine Code terminates when you no longer rightfully possess the
Machine.
No other rights under this license are granted.
You may not, for example, do any of the following:
1. otherwise copy, display, transfer, adapt, modify, or distribute in any form,
Machine Code, except as IBM may authorize in a Machine’s user
documentation.
2. reverse assemble, reverse compile, or otherwise translate the Machine Code,
unless expressly permitted by applicable law without the possibility of
contractual waiver;
3. sublicense or assign the license for the Machine Code; or
4. lease the Machine Code or any copy of it.
The terms of IBM’s Machine warranty, which is incorporated into this Agreement by
reference, apply to Machine Code. Please refer to that warranty for any questions
or claims regarding performance or liability for Machine Code.

Statements of Limited Warranty
International Business Machines Corporation
Armonk, New York, 10504
The warranties provided by IBM in this Statement of Limited Warranty1apply only to
Machines you originally purchase for your use, and not for resale, from IBM or your
reseller. The term “Machine” means an IBM machine, its features, conversions,
upgrades, elements, or accessories, or any combination of them.
Unless IBM specifies otherwise, the following warranties apply only in the country
where you acquire the Machine. If you have any questions, contact IBM or your
reseller.
Machine:IBM Fibre Channel RAID Storage Server and
Warranty Period:One Year*
* Contact your place of purchase for warranty service information.
Production Status
Each Machine is manufactured from new parts, or new and used parts. In some
cases, the Machine may not be new and may have been previously installed.
Regardless of the Machine’s production status, IBM’s warranty terms apply.
Expandable Storage Unit
2102 Model F10 and 2102 Model D00
The IBM Warranty for Machines
IBM warrants that each Machine 1) is free from defects in materials and
workmanship and 2) conforms to IBM’s Official Published Specifications. The
warranty period for a Machine is a specified, fixed period commencing on its Date
of Installation. The date on your receipt is the Date of Installation, unless IBM or
your reseller informs you otherwise.
During the warranty period IBM or your reseller, if authorized by IBM, will provide
warranty service under the type of service designated for the Machine and will
manage and install engineering changes that apply to the Machine.
For IBM or your reseller to provide warranty service for a feature, conversion, or
upgrade, IBM or your reseller may require that the Machine on which it is installed
be 1) for certain Machines, the designated, serial-numbered Machine and 2) at an
engineering-change level compatible with the feature, conversion, or upgrade. Many
of these transactions involve the removal of parts and their return to IBM. You
represent that all removed parts are genuine and unaltered. A part that replaces a
removed part will assume the warranty service status of the replaced part.
If a Machine does not function as warranted during the warranty period, IBM or your
reseller will repair it or replace it with one that is at least functionally equivalent,
without charge. The replacement may not be new, but will be in good working order.
If IBM or your reseller is unable to repair or replace the Machine, you may return it
to your place of purchase and your money will be refunded.
If you transfer a Machine to another user, warranty service is available to that user
for the remainder of the warranty period. You should give your proof of purchase
and this Statement to that user. However, for Machines which have a lifetime
warranty, this warranty is not transferable.
Warranty Service
To obtain warranty service for the Machine, you should contact your reseller or call
IBM. In the United States, call IBM at 1-800-IBM-SERV (426-7378) In Canada, call
IBM at 1-800-465-6666. You may be required to present proof of purchase.
IBM or your reseller will provide certain types of repair and exchange service, either
at your location or at IBM’s or your reseller’s service center, to restore a Machine to
good working order.
When a type of service involves the exchange of a Machine or part, the item IBM or
your reseller replaces becomes its property and the replacement becomes yours.
You represent that all removed items are genuine and unaltered. The replacement
may not be new, but will be in good working order and at least functionally
equivalent to the item replaced. The replacement assumes the warranty service
status of the replaced item. Before IBM or your reseller exchanges a Machine or
part, you agree to remove all features, parts, options, alterations, and attachments
not under warranty service. You also agree to ensure that the Machine is free of
any legal obligations or restrictions that prevent its exchange.
You agree to:
1. obtain authorization from the owner to have IBM or your reseller service a
2. where applicable, before service is provided:
IBM is responsible for loss of, or damage to, your Machine while it is 1) in IBM’s
possession or 2) in transit in those cases where IBM is responsible for the
transportation charges.
Extent of Warranty
IBM does not warrant uninterrupted or error-free operation of a Machine.
The warranties may be voided by misuse, accident, modification, unsuitable
physical or operating environment, improper maintenance by you, removal or
alteration of Machine or parts identification labels, or failure caused by a product for
which IBM is not responsible.
THESE WARRANTIES REPLACE ALL OTHER WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS,
EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED
WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A
Machine that you do not own; and
a. follow the problem determination, problem analysis, and service request
procedures that IBM or your reseller provide,
b. secure all programs, data, and funds contained in a Machine, and
c. inform IBM or your reseller of changes in a Machine’s location.

PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THESE WARRANTIES GIVE YOU SPECIFIC LEGAL
RIGHTS AND YOU MAY ALSO HAVE OTHER RIGHTS WHICH VARY FROM
JURISDICTION TO JURISDICTION. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW
THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO
THE ABOVE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. IN THAT
EVENT SUCH WARRANTIES ARE LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE WARRANTY
PERIOD. NO WARRANTIES APPLY AFTER THAT PERIOD.
Limitation of Liability
Circumstances may arise where, because of a default on IBM’s part or other liability
you are entitled to recover damages from IBM. In each such instance, regardless of
the basis on which you are entitled to claim damages from IBM (including
fundamental breach, negligence, misrepresentation, or other contract or tort claim),
IBM is liable only for:
1. damages for bodily injury (including death) and damage to real property and
tangible personal property; and
2. the amount of any other actual direct damages or loss, up to the greater of U.S.
$100,000 or the charges (if recurring, 12 months’ charges apply) for the
Machine that is the subject of the claim.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES IS IBM LIABLE FOR ANY OF THE FOLLOWING:
1) THIRD-PARTY CLAIMS AGAINST YOU FOR LOSSES OR DAMAGES (OTHER
THAN THOSE UNDER THE FIRST ITEM LISTED ABOVE); 2) LOSS OF, OR
DAMAGE TO, YOUR RECORDS OR DATA; OR 3) SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR
INDIRECT DAMAGES OR FOR ANY ECONOMIC CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES
(INCLUDING LOST PROFITS OR SAVINGS), EVEN IF IBM OR YOUR RESELLER
IS INFORMED OF THEIR POSSIBILITY. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW
THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL
DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO
YOU.
