Statement of Limited Warranty
The warranties provided by IBM in this Statement of Limited Warranty apply only to
Machines you originally purchase for your use, and not for resale, from IBM or an
IBM authorized re-seller. The term “Machine” means an IBM machine, its features,
conversions, upgrades, elements, or accessories, or any combination of them.
Machines are subject to these terms only if purchased in the United States or
Puerto Rico, or Canada, and located in the country of purchase. If you have any
questions, contact IBM or your re-seller.
Machine: 3130
Warranty Period: 90 days
Contact your place of purchase for warranty service information.
Production Status
Each Machine is manufactured from new parts, or new and serviceable used parts
(which perform like new 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.
The IBM Warranty
IBM warrants that each Machine 1) is free from defects in materials and
workmanship and 2) conforms to IBM's Official Published Specifications. IBM
calculates the expiration of the warranty period from the Machine's Date of
Installation. The date on your receipt is the Date of Installation, unless IBM or your
re-seller informs you otherwise.
During the warranty period, IBM or your re-seller 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. IBM or your re-seller will specify
the type of service.
For a feature, conversion, or upgrade, IBM or your re-seller may require that the
Machine on which it is installed be 1) the designated, serial-numbered Machine and
2) at an engineering-change level compatible with the feature, conversion, or
upgrade. Some of these transactions (called “Net-Priced” transactions) may include
additional parts and associated replacement parts that are provided on an
exchange basis. All removed parts become the property of IBM and must be
returned to IBM.
Replacement parts assume the remaining warranty of the parts they replace.
If a Machine does not function as warranted during the warranty period, IBM or
your re-seller will repair or replace it without charge. If IBM or your re-seller is
unable to do so, 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.
 Copyright IBM Corp. 1994, 1996 vii

Warranty Service
To obtain warranty service for the Machine, you should contact your re-seller 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.
Depending on the Machine, the service may be 1) a “Repair” service at your
location (called “On-site”) or at one of IBM's or a re-seller's service locations (called
“Carry-in”) or 2) an “Exchange” service, either On-site or Carry-in.
When a type of service involves the exchange of a Machine or part, the item IBM
or your re-seller replaces becomes its property and the replacement becomes
yours. The replacement may not be new, but will be in good working order.
It is your responsibility to:
1. Obtain authorization from the owner (for example, your lessor) to have IBM or
your re-seller service a Machine that you do not own;
2. where applicable, before service is provided—
a. follow the problem determination, problem analysis, and service request
procedures that IBM or your re-seller provide,
b. secure all programs, data, and funds contained in a Machine,
c. inform IBM or your re-seller of changes in a Machine's location, and
d. for a Machine with exchange service, remove all features, parts, options,
alterations, and attachments not under warranty service. Also, the Machine
must be free of any legal obligations or restrictions that prevent its
exchange; and
3. be responsible for loss of, or damage to, a Machine in transit when you are
responsible for the transportation charges.
Extent of Warranty
IBM does not warrant uninterrupted or error-free operation of a Machine.
Misuse, accident, modification, unsuitable physical or operating environment,
improper maintenance by you, or failure caused by a product for which IBM is not
responsible may void the warranties.
THESE WARRANTIES REPLACE ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR
IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
HOWEVER, SOME LAWS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED
WARRANTIES. IF THESE LAWS APPLY, THEN ALL EXPRESS AND IMPLIED
WARRANTIES ARE LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE WARRANTY PERIOD. NO
WARRANTIES APPLY AFTER THAT PERIOD.
In Canada, warranties include both warranties and conditions.
Some jurisdictions do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts,
so the above limitation may not apply to you.
