Claim Process
5x9 Hardware and Software Telephone Support
Base support is 5x9 telephone support; five days a week, nine hours a day (Monday-Friday, 8AM-5PM, local time excluding Quantum or country
holidays). Inquiries may be answered past these hours but responses for support may be limited.
During the term of this Limited Warranty, Quantum will provide software support for the currently marketed version of the softwar e licensed from
Quantum as well as providing support for the most recent prior version of the software.
Please note: Quantum shall use commercially reasonable efforts to respond to a specific response time. However, the times specified are
targets and not a guarantee.
To enable Quantum to provide the best possible support, the customer must have the most recent version of firmware and software installed.
For Products that require repair during the term of this Limited Warranty, Quantum will arrange for shipment of a replacement Product or Part at
Quantum’s discretion on a Rapid Exchange basis. The target ship date of the Rapid Exchange Product or Part is two (2) business days after receipt
of the call.
Rapid Exchange Products or Parts will be provided by contacting the Quantum Customer Support Center who will:
i. Diagnose the problem
ii. Ship a replacement Product or Part to the End User
iii. Issue a Return Authorization (RA) Number
Rapid Exchange shipments require the customer to provide Quantum with a credit card hold or another form of Quantum-specified collateral for
security purposes. Once the defective Product or Part is received by Quantum, the hold/deposit will be released. If a credit card or another form of
Quantum-specified collateral is not provided, then the replacement product cannot be sent until defective product has been received by Quantum.
In the event the defective Product or Part is not received by Quantum within fourteen (14) business days after the customer has received a
replacement Product or Part, Quantum will convert the hold/deposit to a charge. The requestor is responsible for the full retail value of the missing
Product or Part. Additionally, the warranty will be void on the Product or Part that Quantum shipped out as p art of the Rapid Exchange Program
AND the Product or Part that was not returned. The defective Product or Part must be returned to a Quantum-specified receiving location with the
RA number clearly indicated on the outside of the shipping package. Replacement Products or Parts shall be furnished on an exchange basis and
may be either new or reconditioned as new.
Removal, shipment to Quantum shipping insurance and loss or damage of the failed Product or Part, as well as the installation and configuration of
the replacement Product or Part is the responsibility of the End User. The customer may choose an on-site field call at the then-current price for
removal and installation of the replacement Product or Part. Products, Parts and Repairs shipped to the End User by Quantum, shall be freight
prepaid by Quantum. Responsibility for loss or damage shall be on Quantum. Quantum shall not be responsible for any handling fees, import duties
or tariffs, or delays as a result of customs.
Next Day Response: PX500-Series, PX720, DX30, DX100, M1800, M2500 Warranty Claims
For Products that require repair during the term of this Limited Warranty, Quantum w ill dispatch a Field Service Engineer the f ollowing business day
after receipt of your call. Calls received after 1:00 P.M. local time may be responded to on the second business day. Next business day response
times are subject to End User location, End User availability, parts availability and resource availability.
Next day response will be provided by contacting the Quantum Customer Support Center who will:
i. Diagnose the problem
ii. Ship a replacement Field Replaceable Unit (FRU) and/or dispatch Quantum or a Quantum Service Partner to the equipment site
With StorageCare™ Guardian installed, 5x9 next day on-site target response for the chassis, raid controllers and Optyon adapters; and Rapid
Exchange for the power supplies, fans and disk drives. DPM5500 software warranty is one-year 5x9 telephone support. Warranty support will be
commercially reasonable effort if StorageCare™ Guardian is not installed.
StorageCare™ Guardian is a remote monitoring and diagnostic solution that enables Quantum to proactively monitor the health of
products. It uses diagnostic data to predict possible failures and determine whether or not the problem involves a Quantum p roduct or other critical
component in the customer’s backup environment.
Please note that 5x9 next day response is available in many regions around the world, but where not available, the warrant y is Rapid Exchange for
customer replaceable units after technical support determination of unit failure. Rapid Exchange is shipment of parts within two (2) business days
after receipt of the call. On-site response may be available at an additional charge.
Replacement Products or Parts shall be furnished on an exchange basis and may be either new or reconditioned as new. Quantum offers the best
available exchange for your replacement parts. Customer may have to act as the importer of record.
