Warranty
CPI warrants all CPI-branded hardware products to be free from defects in material and/or
workmanship (CPI’s Standard Limited Warranty) for a period of three (3) years following the date of
purchase (the Original Warranty Period).
The customer must contact CPI in writing or by oral communication confirmed in writing within the
Original Warranty Period to report a product that the customer claims is defective. CPI reserves the
sole and absolute right to determine whether or not the product or any part thereof is defective. In the
event a product (or any part thereof) is determined by CPI to be defective (an Accepted Claim), CPI
will provide a remanufactured or replacement product or part (the Replacement Product) at no cost
to the customer and issue a Return Material Authorization (RMA) number.
Extended Limited Warranty
CPI Extended limited warranties on CPI-Branded Electronic and Non-Electronic hardware products
are available for two additional years beyond the expiration of the Original Warranty Period (3 years).
CPI’s Extended Limited Warranty can be purchased concurrently with, or separately from, the initial
purchase of the product until the expiration of the Original Warranty Period for that product. For
more information on CPI Warranties, visit the website.
Nomenclature
PDU: Power Distribution Unit product
Socket/Receptacle/Outlet: Electrical output port
Secure Array™: Connects up to 32 devices under one IP address. A second
connection provides failover capability, allowing linked devices to stay connected
when one loses functionality.
Primary Role: The role that is assigned to the device that is attached to the network
and serves as the beginning of the Secure Array. This device should have a level of
functionality that is equal to or higher than that of all the remaining devices within the
array. In an array with several devices with the highest level of functionality, the device
with the most outlets among this group should be assigned the Primary Role.
Secondary Role: The role assigned to a device that is 1) linked to the primary device,
or 2) a standalone device.
Alternate Role: The role assigned to the device that is connected to the network to
provide a backup network connection if the Primary Role device loses power. This
device must be equivalent to the Primary device in functionality and number of outlets.
