include a turnkey offer with a DC power supply is the responsibility of each Avaya application
Product Manager. The name of the Product Managers for each application can be found at the
bottom of the application page on the Avaya Global Sales portal.

• Product labels on the servers themselves have the 9-digit base server codes for Avaya

Services in service and support. These 9-digit codes differ from the 6-digit orderable codes
under which servers are ordered. On every server package, there is a Packing Label and a
Hierarchy Label. The Hierarchy Label itemizes the stock list in the box of the 6-digit orderable
code and Avaya recommends retaining them for reference.

• Quality assurance – product integrity testing/environmental international restrictions/ has been

completed by HP and verified with Avaya through the use of Design for Environmental
Checklists. These lists include: batteries, printed wiring boards, plastic parts, product
packaging, RoHS, green requirements, and energy efficiency.
