| Service Features |
When the Customer experiences a system problem and reports it to the HP Response Center via a designated HP support telephone number, the Customer is connected to an HP-certified resolution engineer. The engineer first attempts to remotely troubleshoot, remedy, and resolve the problem with the Customer. Prior to any onsite assistance, an HP engineer may initiate and perform remote diagnostics to facilitate remote problem resolution. Problems with covered hardware can be reported to the HP Response Center either via telephone or electronically, as locally available, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. HP will acknowledge the receipt of the service request and notify the local office at the next coverage window. HP retains the right to determine the final resolution of all reported problems. Call-to-repair times for service requests submitted electronically may vary. For technical hardware issues that cannot, in HP's judgment, be quickly resolved remotely, an HP customer support engineer is quickly engaged and, if necessary, sent to the Customer's site to provide onsite technical support on covered hardware products to return them to operating condition. . For certain printers, PCs, ProLiant servers, Intel Pentium- and Xeon processor-based servers, and networking and storage products, HP may, at its sole discretion, elect to replace such products in lieu of repairing them. Replacement products are new or equivalent to new in performance. Replaced products become the property of HP In addition, HP may install available engineering improvements to help the Customer ensure proper operation of the hardware products and maintain compatibility with HP-supplied hardware replacement parts. |

HP will determine the appropriate delivery method required to provide effective and timely customer support in order to meet the call-to-repair time commitment, if applicable.

Situations where a logical unit number (LUN) may be blocked to preserve data integrity. Any restoration/recovery of compromised data.

HP reserves the right to modify its call-to-repair time commitment as it applies to the Customer's specific product configuration, location, and environment. This is established at the time of order and is subject to resource availability. A commitment does not apply when the Customer chooses to have HP prolong root cause analysis rather than execute recommended server recovery procedures.

Operational testing of applications, or additional tests requested or required by the Customer. Troubleshooting for interconnectivity or compatibility problems. Support for network-related problems.
