Appendix A. Product warranties and notices

 149

Other company, product, and service names may be trademarks or service marks of 
others.

Important notes

Processor speeds indicate the internal clock speed of the microprocessor; other 
factors also affect application performance.

When referring to hard disk drive capacity, MB stands for 1 000000 bytes and GB 
stands for 1000000000 bytes. Total user-accessible capacity may vary depending on 
operating environments.

Maximum internal hard disk drive capacities assume the replacement of any standard 
hard disk drives and population of all hard disk drive bays with the largest currently 
supported drives available from IBM.

Unless otherwise stated, IBM makes no representations or warranties with respect to 
non-IBM products. Support (if any) for the non-IBM products is provided by the third 
party, not IBM.

Some software may differ from its retail version (if available), and may not include user 
manuals or all program functionality.
