In a tower configuration, leave at least a 7.6-cm (3-in) clearance space at the front and back of the server for  
proper ventilation.  
Rack server  
To allow for servicing and adequate airflow, observe the following space and airflow requirements when  
deciding where to install a rack:  
Leave a minimum clearance of 63.5 cm (25 in) in front of the rack.  
Leave a minimum clearance of 76.2 cm (30 in) behind the rack.  
Leave a minimum clearance of 121.9 cm (48 in) from the back of the rack to the back of another rack  
or row of racks.  
HP servers draw in cool air through the front door and expel warm air through the rear door. Therefore, the  
front and rear rack doors must be adequately ventilated to allow ambient room air to enter the cabinet, and  
the rear door must be adequately ventilated to allow the warm air to escape from the cabinet.  
CAUTION: To prevent improper cooling and damage to the equipment, do not block the  
ventilation openings.  
When vertical space in the rack is not filled by a server or rack component, the gaps between the  
components cause changes in airflow through the rack and across the servers. Cover all gaps with blanking  
panels to maintain proper airflow.  
CAUTION: Always use blanking panels to fill empty vertical spaces in the rack. This arrangement  
ensures proper airflow. Using a rack without blanking panels results in improper cooling that can  
lead to thermal damage.  
The 9000 and 10000 Series Racks provide proper server cooling from flow-through perforations in the front  
and rear doors that provide 64 percent open area for ventilation.  
CAUTION: When using a Compaq branded 7000 series rack, install the high airflow rack door  
insert (PN 327281-B21 for 42U rack, PN 157847-B21 for 22U rack) to provide proper  
front-to-back airflow and cooling.  
CAUTION: If a third-party rack is used, observe the following additional requirements to ensure  
adequate airflow and to prevent damage to the equipment:  
Front and rear doors—If the 42U rack includes closing front and rear doors, you must allow  
5,350 sq cm (830 sq in) of holes evenly distributed from top to bottom to permit adequate  
airflow (equivalent to the required 64 percent open area for ventilation).  
Side—The clearance between the installed rack component and the side panels of the rack  
must be a minimum of 7 cm (2.75 in).  
Temperature requirements  
To ensure continued safe and reliable equipment operation, install or position the system in a well-ventilated,  
climate-controlled environment.  
The maximum recommended ambient operating temperature (TMRA) for most server products is 35°C  
(95°F). The temperature in the room where the rack is located must not exceed 35°C (95°F).

CAUTION: To reduce the risk of damage to the equipment when installing third-party options:  
Do not permit optional equipment to impede airflow around the server or to increase the  
internal rack temperature beyond the maximum allowable limits.  
Do not exceed the manufacturer’s TMRA.  
Power requirements  
Installation of this equipment must comply with local and regional electrical regulations governing the  
installation of information technology equipment by licensed electricians. This equipment is designed to  
operate in installations covered by NFPA 70, 1999 Edition (National Electric Code) and NFPA-75, 1992  
(code for Protection of Electronic Computer/Data Processing Equipment). For electrical power ratings on  
options, refer to the product rating label or the user documentation supplied with that option.  
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, fire, or damage to the equipment, do not  
overload the AC supply branch circuit that provides power to the rack. Consult the electrical  
authority having jurisdiction over wiring and installation requirements of your facility.  
CAUTION: Protect the server from power fluctuations and temporary interruptions with a  
regulating uninterruptible power supply. This device protects the hardware from damage caused  
by power surges and voltage spikes and keeps the system in operation during a power failure.  
When installing more than one server, you may need to use additional power distribution devices to safely  
provide power to all devices. Observe the following guidelines:  
Balance the server power load between available AC supply branch circuits.  
Do not allow the overall system AC current load to exceed 80 percent of the branch circuit AC current  
rating.  
Do not use common power outlet strips for this equipment.  
Provide a separate electrical circuit for the server.  
Electrical grounding requirements  
The server must be grounded properly for proper operation and safety. In the United States, you must install  
the equipment in accordance with NFPA 70, 1999 Edition (National Electric Code), Article 250, as well as  
any local and regional building codes. In Canada, you must install the equipment in accordance with  
Canadian Standards Association, CSA C22.1, Canadian Electrical Code. In all other countries, you must  
install the equipment in accordance with any regional or national electrical wiring codes, such as the  
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) Code 364, parts 1 through 7. Furthermore, you must be sure  
that all power distribution devices used in the installation, such as branch wiring and receptacles, are listed  
or certified grounding-type devices.  
Because of the high ground-leakage currents associated with multiple servers connected to the same power  
source, HP recommends the use of a PDU that is either permanently wired to the building’s branch circuit or  
includes a nondetachable cord that is wired to an industrial-style plug. NEMA locking-style plugs or those  
complying with IEC 60309 are considered suitable for this purpose. Using common power outlet strips for  
the server is not recommended.

Memory options  
For server-specific memory installation guidelines, refer to the installation sheet that ships with the server.  
Interleaving and non-interleaving memory configuration  
This server supports both interleaving and non-interleaving memory configurations. Interleaving memory  
increases bandwidth by allowing simultaneous access to more than one block of data (for example,  
overlapping Read-Writes). This is accomplished by dividing the system memory between pairs of DIMMs and  
Writing-Reading blocks of data to/from both simultaneously. In order to take advantage of memory  
interleaving, identical DIMMs must be installed in pairs. DIMMs can also be installed singularly in slot 1 only  
if memory interleaving is not desired.

What has been changed since the time the server was working?  
Did you recently add or remove hardware or software? If so, did you remember to change the  
appropriate settings in the server setup utility, if necessary?  
How long has the server exhibited problem symptoms?  
If the problem occurs randomly, what is the duration or frequency?  
To answer these questions, the following information may be useful:  
Run HP Insight Diagnostics (on page 48) and use the survey page to view the current configuration or  
to compare it to previous configurations.  
Refer to your hardware and software records for information.  
Refer to server LEDs and their statuses.  
Preparing the server for diagnosis  
1.  
Be sure the server is in the proper operating environment with adequate power, air conditioning, and  
humidity control. Refer to the server documentation for required environmental conditions.  
2.  
3.  
4.  
Record any error messages displayed by the system.  
Remove all diskettes and CDs from the media drives.  
Power down the server and peripheral devices if you will be diagnosing the server offline. Always  
perform an orderly shutdown, if possible. This means you must:  
a. Exit any applications.  
b. Exit the operating system.  
c. Power down the server (on page 6).  
5.  
Disconnect any peripheral devices not required for testing (any devices not necessary to power up the  
server). Do not disconnect the printer if you want to use it to print error messages.

The process of updating system or option firmware is referred to as a flash process or flashing the ROM. A  
firmware or ROM flash removes the existing version of firmware from the ROM and replaces it with a more  
recent version.  
Update the firmware to do the following:  
Support new hardware, such as a processor revision  
Support new features  
Correct problems in a previous firmware version  
Without the correct firmware version, the server and hardware options may not function properly.  
Types of ROM  
Types of ROMs include:  
System ROM (on page 92)  
Option ROMs (on page 92)  
System ROM  
All ProLiant servers have a system ROM.  
A system reboot is required for a ROM upgrade to take effect. For disaster recovery or ROM downgrade  
purposes, backups of the most current ROM image are available in either redundant ROM or a ROM  
backup.  
Automatic backup  
A backup copy of the ROM image existing on the target server is made in the ROM image backup  
subdirectory:  
\CPQSYSTEM\FWBACKUP\SYSTEM  
For additional information, see the HP Online ROM Flash User Guide on the HP website  
Option ROMs  
Types of option ROMs include:  
Array controller ROMs  
Integrated Lights-Out (iLO) ROMs  
Hard drive ROMs  
ROMPaq utility diskette or USB drive key  
The bootable ROMPaq diskette or USB drive key contains all the necessary system files, option ROM image  
files, and the configuration files required to upgrade the ROM firmware.  
This procedure is most effective when flashing the ROM on a small number of servers located in close  
proximity.  
Troubleshooting 92  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
     
To flash the ROM using ROMPaq:  
1.  
Download the system ROMPaq utility diskette or USB drive key for each target server. ROMPaq  
downloads are available on the HP website (http://www.hp.com/support).  
2.  
Shut down each target server, and then reboot using the correct ROMPaq diskette or USB drive key for  
that server.  
3.  
4.  
Follow the interactive session in the ROMPaq utility, and then select the devices to be flashed.  
After the ROMPaq utility flashes the ROM for the selected devices, cycle power manually to reboot the  
system back into the operating system.  
Option ROMPaqs have been retired as an upgrade delivery method for storage options. Firmware upgrades  
for storage options are now delivered using Smart Components and Smart Component deployment utilities.  
For additional information about the ROMPaq utility, see the server documentation or the HP website  
ROMPaq Disaster Recovery

Electrostatic discharge  
Preventing electrostatic discharge  
To prevent damaging the system, be aware of the precautions you need to follow when setting up the system  
or handling parts. A discharge of static electricity from a finger or other conductor may damage system  
boards or other static-sensitive devices. This type of damage may reduce the life expectancy of the device.  
To prevent electrostatic damage:  
Avoid hand contact by transporting and storing products in static-safe containers.  
Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at static-free workstations.  
Place parts on a grounded surface before removing them from their containers.  
Avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry.  
Always be properly grounded when touching a static-sensitive component or assembly.  
Grounding methods to prevent electrostatic discharge  
Several methods are used for grounding. Use one or more of the following methods when handling or  
installing electrostatic-sensitive parts:  
Use a wrist strap connected by a ground cord to a grounded workstation or computer chassis. Wrist  
straps are flexible straps with a minimum of 1 megohm ±10 percent resistance in the ground cords. To  
provide proper ground, wear the strap snug against the skin.  
Use heel straps, toe straps, or boot straps at standing workstations. Wear the straps on both feet when  
standing on conductive floors or dissipating floor mats.  
Use conductive field service tools.  
Use a portable field service kit with a folding static-dissipating work mat.  
If you do not have any of the suggested equipment for proper grounding, have an authorized reseller install  
the part.  
For more information on static electricity or assistance with product installation, contact an authorized  
reseller.

providers or service partners) identifies that the repair can be accomplished by the use of a CSR part, HP will  
ship that part directly to you for replacement. There are two categories of CSR parts:  
Mandatory—Parts for which customer self repair is mandatory. If you request HP to replace these parts,  
you will be charged for the travel and labor costs of this service.  
Optional—Parts for which customer self repair is optional. These parts are also designed for customer  
self repair. If, however, you require that HP replace them for you, there may or may not be additional  
charges, depending on the type of warranty service designated for your product.  
NOTE: Some HP parts are not designed for customer self repair. In order to satisfy the customer warranty,  
HP requires that an authorized service provider replace the part. These parts are identified as "No" in the  
Illustrated Parts Catalog.  
Based on availability and where geography permits, CSR parts will be shipped for next business day  
delivery. Same day or four-hour delivery may be offered at an additional charge where geography permits.  
If assistance is required, you can call the HP Technical Support Center and a technician will help you over the  
telephone. HP specifies in the materials shipped with a replacement CSR part whether a defective part must  
be returned to HP. In cases where it is required to return the defective part to HP, you must ship the defective  
part back to HP within a defined period of time, normally five (5) business days. The defective part must be  
returned with the associated documentation in the provided shipping material. Failure to return the defective  
part may result in HP billing you for the replacement. With a customer self repair, HP will pay all shipping  
and part return costs and determine the courier/carrier to be used.  
For more information about HP's Customer Self Repair program, contact your local service provider. For the  
North American program, refer to the HP website (http://www.hp.com/go/selfrepair).  
Réparation par le client (CSR)  
Les produits HP comportent de nombreuses pièces CSR (Customer Self Repair = réparation par le client) afin  
de minimiser les délais de réparation et faciliter le remplacement des pièces défectueuses. Si pendant la  
période de diagnostic, HP (ou ses partenaires ou mainteneurs agréés) détermine que la réparation peut être  
effectuée à l'aide d'une pièce CSR, HP vous l'envoie directement. Il existe deux catégories de pièces CSR:  
Obligatoire - Pièces pour lesquelles la réparation par le client est obligatoire. Si vous demandez à HP de  
remplacer ces pièces, les coûts de déplacement et main d'œuvre du service vous seront facturés.  
Facultatif - Pièces pour lesquelles la réparation par le client est facultative. Ces pièces sont également  
conçues pour permettre au client d'effectuer lui-même la réparation. Toutefois, si vous demandez à HP de  
remplacer ces pièces, l'intervention peut ou non vous être facturée, selon le type de garantie applicable à  
votre produit.  
REMARQUE: Certaines pièces HP ne sont pas conçues pour permettre au client d'effectuer lui-même la  
réparation. Pour que la garantie puisse s'appliquer, HP exige que le remplacement de la pièce soit effectué  
par un Mainteneur Agréé. Ces pièces sont identifiées par la mention "Non" dans le Catalogue illustré.  
Les pièces CSR sont livrées le jour ouvré suivant, dans la limite des stocks disponibles et selon votre situation  
géographique. Si votre situation géographique le permet et que vous demandez une livraison le jour même  
ou dans les 4 heures, celle-ci vous sera facturée. Pour bénéficier d'une assistance téléphonique, appelez le  
Centre d'assistance technique HP. Dans les documents envoyés avec la pièce de rechange CSR, HP précise  
s'il est nécessaire de lui retourner la pièce défectueuse. Si c'est le cas, vous devez le faire dans le délai  
indiqué, généralement cinq (5) jours ouvrés. La pièce et sa documentation doivent être retournées dans  
l'emballage fourni. Si vous ne retournez pas la pièce défectueuse, HP se réserve le droit de vous facturer les  
coûts de remplacement. Dans le cas d'une pièce CSR, HP supporte l'ensemble des frais d'expédition et de  
retour, et détermine la société de courses ou le transporteur à utiliser.

Riparazione da parte del cliente  
Per abbreviare i tempi di riparazione e garantire una maggiore flessibilità nella sostituzione di parti  
difettose, i prodotti HP sono realizzati con numerosi componenti che possono essere riparati direttamente  
dal cliente (CSR, Customer Self Repair). Se in fase di diagnostica HP (o un centro di servizi o di assistenza  
HP) identifica il guasto come riparabile mediante un ricambio CSR, HP lo spedirà direttamente al cliente per  
la sostituzione. Vi sono due categorie di parti CSR:  
Obbligatorie – Parti che devono essere necessariamente riparate dal cliente. Se il cliente ne affida la  
riparazione ad HP, deve sostenere le spese di spedizione e di manodopera per il servizio.  
Opzionali – Parti la cui riparazione da parte del cliente è facoltativa. Si tratta comunque di componenti  
progettati per questo scopo. Se tuttavia il cliente ne richiede la sostituzione ad HP, potrebbe dover sostenere  
spese addizionali a seconda del tipo di garanzia previsto per il prodotto.  
NOTA: alcuni componenti HP non sono progettati per la riparazione da parte del cliente. Per rispettare la  
garanzia, HP richiede che queste parti siano sostituite da un centro di assistenza autorizzato. Tali parti sono  
identificate da un "No" nel Catalogo illustrato dei componenti.  
In base alla disponibilità e alla località geografica, le parti CSR vengono spedite con consegna entro il  
giorno lavorativo seguente. La consegna nel giorno stesso o entro quattro ore è offerta con un supplemento  
di costo solo in alcune zone. In caso di necessità si può richiedere l'assistenza telefonica di un addetto del  
centro di supporto tecnico HP. Nel materiale fornito con una parte di ricambio CSR, HP specifica se il cliente  
deve restituire dei componenti. Qualora sia richiesta la resa ad HP del componente difettoso, lo si deve  
spedire ad HP entro un determinato periodo di tempo, generalmente cinque (5) giorni lavorativi. Il  
componente difettoso deve essere restituito con la documentazione associata nell'imballo di spedizione  
fornito. La mancata restituzione del componente può comportare la fatturazione del ricambio da parte di HP.  
Nel caso di riparazione da parte del cliente, HP sostiene tutte le spese di spedizione e resa e sceglie il  
corriere/vettore da utilizzare.  
Per ulteriori informazioni sul programma CSR di HP contattare il centro di assistenza di zona. Per il  
programma in Nord America fare riferimento al sito Web HP (http://www.hp.com/go/selfrepair).  
Customer Self Repair  
HP Produkte enthalten viele CSR-Teile (Customer Self Repair), um Reparaturzeiten zu minimieren und höhere  
Flexibilität beim Austausch defekter Bauteile zu ermöglichen. Wenn HP (oder ein HP Servicepartner) bei der  
Diagnose feststellt, dass das Produkt mithilfe eines CSR-Teils repariert werden kann, sendet Ihnen HP dieses  
Bauteil zum Austausch direkt zu. CSR-Teile werden in zwei Kategorien unterteilt:  
Zwingend – Teile, für die das Customer Self Repair-Verfahren zwingend vorgegeben ist. Wenn Sie den  
Austausch dieser Teile von HP vornehmen lassen, werden Ihnen die Anfahrt- und Arbeitskosten für diesen  
Service berechnet.  
Optional – Teile, für die das Customer Self Repair-Verfahren optional ist. Diese Teile sind auch für Customer  
Self Repair ausgelegt. Wenn Sie jedoch den Austausch dieser Teile von HP vornehmen lassen möchten,  
können bei diesem Service je nach den für Ihr Produkt vorgesehenen Garantiebedingungen zusätzliche  
Kosten anfallen.

HINWEIS: Einige Teile sind nicht für Customer Self Repair ausgelegt. Um den Garantieanspruch des  
Kunden zu erfüllen, muss das Teil von einem HP Servicepartner ersetzt werden. Im illustrierten Teilekatalog  
sind diese Teile mit „No“ bzw. „Nein“ gekennzeichnet.  
CSR-Teile werden abhängig von der Verfügbarkeit und vom Lieferziel am folgenden Geschäftstag geliefert.  
Für bestimmte Standorte ist eine Lieferung am selben Tag oder innerhalb von vier Stunden gegen einen  
Aufpreis verfügbar. Wenn Sie Hilfe benötigen, können Sie das HP technische Support Center anrufen und  
sich von einem Mitarbeiter per Telefon helfen lassen. Den Materialien, die mit einem CSR-Ersatzteil geliefert  
werden, können Sie entnehmen, ob das defekte Teil an HP zurückgeschickt werden muss. Wenn es  
erforderlich ist, das defekte Teil an HP zurückzuschicken, müssen Sie dies innerhalb eines vorgegebenen  
Zeitraums tun, in der Regel innerhalb von fünf (5) Geschäftstagen. Das defekte Teil muss mit der zugehörigen  
Dokumentation in der Verpackung zurückgeschickt werden, die im Lieferumfang enthalten ist. Wenn Sie das  
defekte Teil nicht zurückschicken, kann HP Ihnen das Ersatzteil in Rechnung stellen. Im Falle von Customer  
Self Repair kommt HP für alle Kosten für die Lieferung und Rücksendung auf und bestimmt den  
Kurier-/Frachtdienst.

Reparaciones del propio cliente  
Los productos de HP incluyen muchos componentes que el propio usuario puede reemplazar (Customer Self  
Repair, CSR) para minimizar el tiempo de reparación y ofrecer una mayor flexibilidad a la hora de realizar  
sustituciones de componentes defectuosos. Si, durante la fase de diagnóstico, HP (o los proveedores o socios  
de servicio de HP) identifica que una reparación puede llevarse a cabo mediante el uso de un componente  
CSR, HP le enviará dicho componente directamente para que realice su sustitución. Los componentes CSR se  
clasifican en dos categorías:  
Obligatorio: componentes para los que la reparación por parte del usuario es obligatoria. Si solicita a  
HP que realice la sustitución de estos componentes, tendrá que hacerse cargo de los gastos de  
desplazamiento y de mano de obra de dicho servicio.  
Opcional: componentes para los que la reparación por parte del usuario es opcional. Estos  
componentes también están diseñados para que puedan ser reparados por el usuario. Sin embargo, si  
precisa que HP realice su sustitución, puede o no conllevar costes adicionales, dependiendo del tipo de  
servicio de garantía correspondiente al producto.  
NOTA: Algunos componentes no están diseñados para que puedan ser reparados por el usuario. Para que  
el usuario haga valer su garantía, HP pone como condición que un proveedor de servicios autorizado  
realice la sustitución de estos componentes. Dichos componentes se identifican con la palabra "No" en el  
catálogo ilustrado de componentes.  
Según la disponibilidad y la situación geográfica, los componentes CSR se enviarán para que lleguen a su  
destino al siguiente día laborable. Si la situación geográfica lo permite, se puede solicitar la entrega en el  
mismo día o en cuatro horas con un coste adicional. Si precisa asistencia técnica, puede llamar al Centro de  
asistencia técnica de HP y recibirá ayuda telefónica por parte de un técnico. Con el envío de materiales  
para la sustitución de componentes CSR, HP especificará si los componentes defectuosos deberán  
devolverse a HP. En aquellos casos en los que sea necesario devolver algún componente a HP, deberá  
hacerlo en el periodo de tiempo especificado, normalmente cinco días laborables. Los componentes  
defectuosos deberán devolverse con toda la documentación relacionada y con el embalaje de envío. Si no  
enviara el componente defectuoso requerido, HP podrá cobrarle por el de sustitución. En el caso de todas

sustituciones que lleve a cabo el cliente, HP se hará cargo de todos los gastos de envío y devolución de  
componentes y escogerá la empresa de transporte que se utilice para dicho servicio.

Customer Self Repair  
Veel onderdelen in HP producten zijn door de klant zelf te repareren, waardoor de reparatieduur tot een  
minimum beperkt kan blijven en de flexibiliteit in het vervangen van defecte onderdelen groter is. Deze  
onderdelen worden CSR-onderdelen (Customer Self Repair) genoemd. Als HP (of een HP Service Partner) bij  
de diagnose vaststelt dat de reparatie kan worden uitgevoerd met een CSR-onderdeel, verzendt HP dat  
onderdeel rechtstreeks naar u, zodat u het defecte onderdeel daarmee kunt vervangen. Er zijn twee  
categorieën CSR-onderdelen:  
Verplicht: Onderdelen waarvoor reparatie door de klant verplicht is. Als u HP verzoekt deze onderdelen  
voor u te vervangen, worden u voor deze service reiskosten en arbeidsloon in rekening gebracht.  
Optioneel: Onderdelen waarvoor reparatie door de klant optioneel is. Ook deze onderdelen zijn ontworpen  
voor reparatie door de klant. Als u echter HP verzoekt deze onderdelen voor u te vervangen, kunnen  
daarvoor extra kosten in rekening worden gebracht, afhankelijk van het type garantieservice voor het  
product.  
OPMERKING: Sommige HP onderdelen zijn niet ontwikkeld voor reparatie door de klant. In verband met  
de garantievoorwaarden moet het onderdeel door een geautoriseerde Service Partner worden vervangen.  
Deze onderdelen worden in de geïllustreerde onderdelencatalogus aangemerkt met "Nee".  
Afhankelijk van de leverbaarheid en de locatie worden CSR-onderdelen verzonden voor levering op de  
eerstvolgende werkdag. Levering op dezelfde dag of binnen vier uur kan tegen meerkosten worden  
aangeboden, indien dit mogelijk is gezien de locatie. Indien assistentie gewenst is, belt u een HP Service  
Partner om via de telefoon technische ondersteuning te ontvangen. HP vermeldt in de documentatie bij het  
vervangende CSR-onderdeel of het defecte onderdeel aan HP moet worden geretourneerd. Als het defecte  
onderdeel aan HP moet worden teruggezonden, moet u het defecte onderdeel binnen een bepaalde  
periode, gewoonlijk vijf (5) werkdagen, retourneren aan HP. Het defecte onderdeel moet met de  
bijbehorende documentatie worden geretourneerd in het meegeleverde verpakkingsmateriaal. Als u het  
defecte onderdeel niet terugzendt, kan HP u voor het vervangende onderdeel kosten in rekening brengen. Bij  
reparatie door de klant betaalt HP alle verzendkosten voor het vervangende en geretourneerde onderdeel en  
kiest HP zelf welke koerier/transportonderneming hiervoor wordt gebruikt.  
Neem contact op met een Service Partner voor meer informatie over het Customer Self Repair programma  
van HP. Informatie over Service Partners vindt u op de HP website (http://www.hp.com/go/selfrepair).  
Reparo feito pelo cliente  
Os produtos da HP são projetados com muitas peças para reparo feito pelo cliente (CSR) de modo a  
minimizar o tempo de reparo e permitir maior flexibilidade na substituição de peças com defeito. Se,  
durante o período de diagnóstico, a HP (ou fornecedores/parceiros de serviço da HP) concluir que o reparo  
pode ser efetuado pelo uso de uma peça CSR, a peça de reposição será enviada diretamente ao cliente.  
Existem duas categorias de peças CSR:  
Obrigatória – Peças cujo reparo feito pelo cliente é obrigatório. Se desejar que a HP substitua essas peças,  
serão cobradas as despesas de transporte e mão-de-obra do serviço.

Opcional – Peças cujo reparo feito pelo cliente é opcional. Essas peças também são projetadas para o  
reparo feito pelo cliente. No entanto, se desejar que a HP as substitua, pode haver ou não a cobrança de  
taxa adicional, dependendo do tipo de serviço de garantia destinado ao produto.  
OBSERVAÇÃO: Algumas peças da HP não são projetadas para o reparo feito pelo cliente. A fim de  
cumprir a garantia do cliente, a HP exige que um técnico autorizado substitua a peça. Essas peças estão  
identificadas com a marca "No" (Não), no catálogo de peças ilustrado.  
Conforme a disponibilidade e o local geográfico, as peças CSR serão enviadas no primeiro dia útil após o  
pedido. Onde as condições geográficas permitirem, a entrega no mesmo dia ou em quatro horas pode ser  
feita mediante uma taxa adicional. Se precisar de auxílio, entre em contato com o Centro de suporte técnico  
da HP para que um técnico o ajude por telefone. A HP especifica nos materiais fornecidos com a peça CSR  
de reposição se a peça com defeito deve ser devolvida à HP. Nos casos em que isso for necessário, é  
preciso enviar a peça com defeito à HP dentro do período determinado, normalmente cinco (5) dias úteis.  
A peça com defeito deve ser enviada com a documentação correspondente no material de transporte  
fornecido. Caso não o faça, a HP poderá cobrar a reposição. Para as peças de reparo feito pelo cliente, a  
HP paga todas as despesas de transporte e de devolução da peça e determina a transportadora/serviço  
postal a ser utilizado.
