specialist will run diagnostic tests on the hardware and check the software.

programs.

firmware, device drivers, and other supporting IBM software are installed and
correctly configured. It might be necessary to manually gather information about
the relevant software levels or run IBM-approved utility programs to gather this
information. It might be necessary to isolate the failing from any active production
environment to gather this information. Youare responsible, with assistance from
the support specialist, for gathering this information. The IBM Statement of
Limited Warranty does not include on-site assistance with this activity.
