hp hardware warranty
Important: This is your hardware product warranty statement. Please, read it
carefully.
Warranty terms may be different in your country. If so, your Authorized HP
Dealer or Hewlett-Packard Sales and Service Office can give you details.
HP products may contain remanufactured parts equivalent to new in
performance or may have been subject to incidental use.
HP products external to the system processor unit —such as external storage
subsystems, displays, printers, and other peripherals—are covered by the
applicable warranties for those products; HP software is covered by the HP
Software Product Limited Warranty
FOR CONSUMER TRANSACTIONS IN AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND:
THE WARRANTY TERMS CONTAINED IN THIS STATEMENT, EXCEPT TO
THE EXTENT LAWFULLY PERMITTED, DO NOT EXCLUDE, RESTRICT OR
MODIFY AND ARE IN ADDITION TO THE MANDATORY STATUTORY
RIGHTS APPLICABLE TO THE SALE OF THIS PRODUCT TO YOU.
HP Year 2000 Warranty
This HP Year 2000 Warranty is in addition to the HP Standard Commercial
Warranties contained in Exhibit E16, HP Terms and Conditions of Sale and

hp workstation i2000 owner’s guide

Service. HP warrants that each HP hardware, software, and firmware Product
delivered under this HP Year 2000 Warranty will be able to accurately process
date data (including, but not limited to, calculating, comparing, and sequencing)
from, into, and between the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, and the years
1999 and 2000, including leap year calculations, when used in accordance with
the Product documentation provided by HP (including any instructions for
installing patches or upgrades), provided that all other products (e.g. hardware,
software, firmware) used in combination with such HP Product(s) properly
exchange date data with it.
If the Specifications require that specific HP Products must perform as a system
in accordance with the foregoing warranty, then that warranty will apply to those
HP Products as a system, and Customer retains sole responsibility to ensure the
Year 2000 readiness of its information technology and business environment.
The duration of this warranty extends through January 31, 2001. The remedies
available under this warranty will be defined in, and subject to, the terms and
limitations of the warranties contained in HP’s standard commercial warranties.
To the extent permitted by local law, this warranty applies only to branded HP
Products and not to products manufactured by others that may be sold or
distributed by HP. This HP Year 2000 Warranty applies only to HP Products
shipped after the effective date, July 01, 1998, of this warranty. Nothing in this warranty
will be construed to limit any rights or remedies provided elsewhere in
the HP Terms and Conditions of Sale and Service with respect to matters other
than Year 2000 compliance.
One Year Limited Hardware Warranty
Hewlett-Packard (HP) warrants this hardware product against defects in
materials and workmanship for a period of one year from receipt by the
original end-user purchaser.
The one year warranty includes on-site service during the first year of use (free
parts and labor). Parts will be available for this hardware product for a duration of one year
after the warranty expires.
If HP receives notice of above defined defects during the warranty period, HP will
either, at its option, repair or replace products, which prove to be defective.
Should HP be unable to repair or replace the product within a reasonable
amount of time, the customer's alternate exclusive remedy shall be a refund of
the purchase price upon return of the product.
The system processor unit, keyboard, mouse, and Hewlett-Packard accessories
inside the system processor unit —such as video adapters, mass storage devices,
and interface controllers—are covered by this warranty.
This warranty is extended worldwide under certain conditions (please check with
your local HP office) to products purchased from HP or an Authorized HP
Computer Dealer which are reshipped by the original purchaser either for use by
the original purchaser or provided as an incidental part of systems integrated by
the original purchaser. When available in the country of use, service is provided
in the same manner as if the product was purchased in that country and can only
be provided in countries where the product is designed to operate. If the product
is not normally sold by HP in the country of use, it must be returned to the
country of purchase for service. Response time for on-site service, and parts

hp workstation i2000 owner’s guide

delivery turn-around time for parts service, are subject to changes from standard
conditions based upon non-local parts availability.
Limitation of Warranty
The above warranty shall not apply to defects resulting from: misuse;
unauthorized modification; operation or storage outside the environmental
specifications for the product; in-transit damage; improper maintenance; or
defects resulting from use of non-HP software, accessories, media, supplies,
consumables, or such items not designed for use with the product.
Reloading the bundled or pre-loaded software on your Workstation is not covered
by the HP warranty.
HP MAKES NO OTHER EXPRESS WARRANTY, WHETHER WRITTEN OR
ORAL, WITH RESPECT TO THIS PRODUCT. ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF
MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS IS LIMITED TO THE THREE-YEAR
DURATION OF THIS WRITTEN WARRANTY. SOME STATES OR
PROVINCES DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG AN IMPLIED
WARRANTY LASTS, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION MAY
NOT APPLY TO YOU.
This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights,
which vary, from state to state, or province to province.
Limitation of Liability and Remedies
THE REMEDIES PROVIDED ABOVE ARE THE CUSTOMER'S SOLE AND
EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES. IN NO EVENT SHALL HP BE LIABLE FOR ANY
DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL
DAMAGES, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT, OR ANY
OTHER LEGAL THEORY.
The foregoing limitation of liability shall not apply in the event that any HP
product sold hereunder is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be
defective and to have directly caused bodily injury, death, or property damage;
provided, that in no event shall HP's liability for property damage exceed the
greater of $50,000 or the purchase price of the specific product that caused such
damage.
Some states or provinces do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or
consequential damages —including lost profit—so the above limitation or
exclusion may not apply to you.
Obtaining On-Site Warranty Service
To obtain on-site warranty service, the customer must contact an HP Sales and
Service Office (in the US, call the HP IA-64 Center of Expertise at 1-800-593-6631
or a participating Authorized HP Computer Dealer Repair Center. The
customer must be prepared to supply proof of the purchase date.
The system processor unit, keyboard, mouse, and Hewlett-Packard accessories
inside the system processor unit —such as video adapters, mass storage devices,
and interface controllers—are covered by this warranty.

hp workstation i2000 owner’s guide

During the on-site warranty period, customer-replaceable components may be
serviced through expedited part shipment. In this event, HP will prepay shipping
charges, duty, and taxes; provide telephone assistance on replacement of the
component when necessary; and pay shipping charges, duty, and taxes for any
part that HP asks to be returned.
On-site visits caused by non-Hewlett-Packard products –whether internal or external to the
system processor unit—are subject to standard per-incident travel and labor charges.
On-site service for this product is restricted or unavailable in certain locations.
In HP Excluded Travel Areas—areas where geographical obstacles, undeveloped
roads, or unsuitable public transportation prohibit routine travel—service is
provided on a negotiated basis at extra charge.
Response time for HP on-site service in an HP Service Travel Area is normally
next business day (excluding HP holidays) for HP Travel Zones 1-3 (generally
100 miles or 160 Km from the HP office). Response time is second business day
for Zones 4 and 5 (200 miles, 320 Km); third business day for Zone 6 (300 miles,
480 Km); and negotiated beyond Zone 6. Worldwide Customer Support Travel
information is available from any HP Sales and Service Office.
Travel restrictions and response time for dealer or distributor service are defined
by the participating dealer or distributor.
Service contracts which provide after-hour or weekend coverage, faster response
time, or service in an Excluded Travel Area are often available from HP, an
authorized dealer, or authorized distributor at additional charge.
Customer Responsibilities
The customer may be required to run HP-supplied diagnostic programs before an
on-site visit or replacement part will be dispatched.
The customer is responsible for the security of its proprietary and confidential
information and for maintaining a procedure external to the products for
reconstruction of lost or altered files, data, or programs.
The customer must provide: access to the product; adequate working space and
facilities within a reasonable distance of the product; access to and use of all
information and facilities determined necessary by HP to service the product;
and operating supplies and consumables such as the customer would use during
normal operation.
A representative of the customer must be present at all times. The customer
must state if the product is being used in an environment which poses a potential
health hazard to repair personnel; HP or the servicing dealer may require that
the product be maintained by customer personnel under direct HP or dealer
supervision.
Obtaining Parts Warranty Service
When parts warranty service applies, the customer may be required to run
HP-supplied diagnostic programs before a replacement part will be dispatched.
The customer must be prepared to supply proof of purchase.

hp workstation i2000 owner’s guide

The customer shall return some defective parts upon HP demand. In that case,
HP will prepay shipping charges for parts returned to the HP parts service
center.
HP Telephone Support Services
HP free telephone support for your Workstation is available during the first year
from date of purchase. This service will also provide technical assistance with the
basic configuration and setup of your HP Workstation and for the bundled or
pre-loaded operating system.
HP does NOT provide telephone support for Workstations configured as network
servers. We recommend HP NetServers for your network server requirements.
