Response times are based on local standard business days and working hours. Unless otherwise noted, all
responses are measured from the time the customer calls until HP has either established a mutually acceptable
time for support to be performed, or HP has begun to provide support or remote diagnostics. In some
countries and under certain supplier constraints, response time may vary. If your location is outside the
customary service zone, response time may be longer or there may be an additional charge. Contact your local
HP service organization for response time availability in your area.

Types of Warranty Service
To enable HP to provide the best possible support and service during the Limited Warranty Period, you may be
directed by HP to verify configurations, load most recent firmware, install software patches, run HP diagnostics tests
or use HP remote support solutions where applicable.
HP strongly encourages you to accept the use of, or to employ available support technologies provided by HP.
If you choose not to deploy available remote support capabilities, you may incur additional costs due to increased
support resource requirements. Listed below are the types of warranty support service that may be applicable to the
HP Hardware Product you have purchased.
On-site Warranty Service
Your HP Limited Warranty service may include on-site labor support to repair your hardware. HP provides on-site
service during standard office hours. Standard office hours are typically 08.00 to 17.00, Monday through Friday, but
may vary with local business practices. If your location is outside the customary service zone (typically 50km)
response times may be longer or there may be additional charges. To locate the nearest HP authorised service
provider refer to the HP website at
www.hp.com/support
.
HP may, at its sole discretion, determine if on-site warranty service is required. For example, in many cases, the
defect can be fixed by the use of a Customer Self Repair (CSR) part that you are required to replace yourself based
on instructions and documentation provided by HP. You are also required to co-operate with HP in attempting to
resolve the problem over the telephone. This may involve performing routine diagnostic procedures, installing
software updates or patches, removing third party options and/or substituting options. In order to receive onsite
support, you must: (a) have a representative present when HP provides warranty services at your site; (b) notify HP
if products are being used in an environment which poses a potential health or safety hazard to HP employees or
subcontractors; (c) subject to its reasonable security requirements, provide HP with sufficient, free, and safe access
to and use of all facilities, information and systems determined necessary by HP to provide timely support; (d)
ensure that all manufacturers labels (such as serial numbers) are in place , accessible, and legible; (e) maintain an
environment consistent with product specifications and supported configurations.
If you require an HP representative to handle all component replacements, support uplift contracts are available at
additional cost.
