Electronic Emission Notices
The following statement applies to this IBM product. The statement for other IBM products intended for
use with this product will appear in their accompanying manuals.
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Statement
Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment
generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with
the instructions contained in the installation manual, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in
which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.
Properly shielded and grounded cables and connectors must be used in order to meet FCC emission
limits. IBM is not responsible for any radio or television interference caused by using other than
recommended cables and connectors, by installation or use of this equipment other than as specified in
the installation manual, or by any other unauthorized changes or modifications to this equipment.
Unauthorized changes or modifications could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
Canadian Department of Communications Compliance Statement
This equipment does not exceed Class A limits per radio noise emissions for digital apparatus, set out in
the Radio Interference Regulation of the Canadian Department of Communications. Operation in a
residential area may cause unacceptable interference to radio and TV reception requiring the owner or
operator to take whatever steps are necessary to correct the interference.

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 reseller. 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 reseller.
Machine: S/390 Parallel Enterprise Server - Generation 5
S/390 Parallel Enterprise Server - Generation 6
Warranty Period*: One Year
*Elements and accessories are warranted for three months. 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.
vi Getting Started

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 reseller informs you otherwise.
During the warranty period, IBM or your reseller 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 reseller will specify the type of service.
For a feature, conversion, or upgrade, IBM or your reseller 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 reseller will repair or
replace it (with a Machine that is at least functionally equivalent) without charge. If IBM or your reseller 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.
Warranty Service: To obtain warranty service for the Machine, you should contact your reseller 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 reseller'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 reseller replaces
becomes its property and the replacement becomes yours. The replacement may not be new, but will be
in good working order and at least functionally equivalent to the item replaced.
It is your responsibility to:
1. obtain authorization from the owner (for example, your lessor) to have IBM or your reseller 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 reseller provide,
b. secure all programs, data, and funds contained in a Machine,
c. inform IBM or your reseller 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.
Notices vii

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.
Limitation of Liability: Circumstances may arise where, because of a default on IBM's part
(including fundamental breach) or other liability (including negligence and misrepresentation), you are
entitled to recover damages from IBM. In each such instance, regardless of the basis on which you are
entitled to claim damages, IBM is liable only for:
1. bodily injury (including death), and damage to real property and tangible personal property; and
2. the amount of any other actual loss or damage, up to the greater of $100,000 or the charge for the
Machine that is the subject of the claim.
Under no circumstances is IBM liable for any of the following:
1. third-party claims against you for losses or damages (other than those under the first item listed
above);
2. loss of, or damage to, your records or data; or
3. economic consequential damages (including lost profits or savings) or incidental damages, even if IBM
is informed of their possibility.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, 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
jurisdiction to jurisdiction.
