Memory options  
You can expand server memory by installing PC2-5300 Registered DDR2 SDRAM DIMMs. Each server  
supports up to 24 GB of memory using six 4-GB DIMMs.  
For DIMM slot locations and bank assignments, see "System board components (on page 8)."  
Advanced ECC memory  
Advanced ECC memory is the default memory protection mode for this server blade. In Advanced ECC,  
the server blade is protected against correctable memory errors. The server blade provides notification if  
the level of correctable errors exceeds a pre-defined threshold rate. The server blade does not fail  
because of correctable memory errors. Advanced ECC provides additional protection over Standard ECC  
because it is possible to correct certain memory errors that would otherwise be uncorrectable and result in  
a server blade failure.  
Whereas standard ECC can correct single-bit memory errors, Advanced ECC can correct single-bit  
memory errors and multi-bit memory errors if all failed bits are on the same DRAM device on the DIMM.  
DIMM installation guidelines  
Observe the following DIMM installation guidelines:  
Always install PC2-5300 Registered DDR2 SDRAM DIMMs.  
Always install DIMMs in sequence (1A, 2B, 3C, 4D, 5E, and 6F).  
If only a single DIMM is installed, HP recommends installing it in slot 1A.

HP BladeSystem c-Class Advanced management  
iLO 2 is a standard component of ProLiant c-Class server blades that provides server health and remote  
server blade manageability. Its features are accessed from a network client device using a supported web  
browser. In addition to other features, iLO 2 provides keyboard, mouse, and video (text and graphics)  
capability for a server blade, regardless of the state of the host OS or host server blade.  
iLO 2 includes an intelligent microprocessor, secure memory, and a dedicated network interface. This  
design makes iLO 2 independent of the host server blade and its OS. iLO 2 provides remote access to  
any authorized network client, sends alerts, and provides other server blade management functions.  
Using a supported web browser, you can:  
Remotely access the console of the host server blade, including all text mode and graphics mode  
screens with full keyboard and mouse controls.  
Remotely power up, power down, or reboot the host server blade.  
Remotely boot a host server blade to a virtual media image to perform a ROM upgrade or install an  
OS.  
Send alerts from iLO 2 regardless of the state of the host server blade.  
Access advanced troubleshooting features provided by iLO 2.  
Launch a web browser, use SNMP alerting, and diagnose the server blade with HP SIM.  
Configure static IP bay settings for the dedicated iLO 2 management NICs on each server blade in  
an enclosure for faster deployment.

To connect to the server blade using iLO 2, install the server blade in an enclosure. enclosure assigns an  
IP address to enable iLO 2 connectivity to the server blade.  
The c-Class tab enables you to control specific settings for the HP BladeSystem. iLO 2 also provides web-  
based status for the HP BladeSystem configuration.  
For detailed information about iLO 2, refer to the HP Integrated Lights-Out User Guide on the HP website  
Network-based PXE deployment  
PXE is a component of the Intel® WfM specification. The PXE model enables server blades to load and  
execute an NBP from a PXE server and to execute a pre-configured image. The image can be an OS  
image created by software utilities or a boot diskette image. This feature enables a user to configure a  
server blade and install an OS over a network.  
Deployment overview  
When a PXE-enabled target server blade boots, it obtains an IP address from a DHCP server. The target  
server blade obtains the name of the NBP from the appropriate boot server. Then, the target server blade  
uses TFTP to download the NBP from the boot server and executes the image.  
IMPORTANT: To connect to a network with a Pass-Thru module, always connect the Pass-Thru  
module to a network device that supports Gigabit speed.  
For each server blade being deployed, the PXE server must be connected to the NIC designated for PXE.  
The server blade defaults PXE functions to NIC 1, but any of the NC series NICs in the server blade can  
be designated for PXE in RBSU. For NIC connector locations, refer to the documentation included with the  
server blade.  
NOTE: Actual NIC numeration depends on several factors, including the OS installed on the  
server blade.  
To deploy an OS to multiple server blades, install a PXE deployment server on a network.  
Deployment infrastructure  
IMPORTANT: To connect to a network with a Pass-Thru module, always connect the Pass-Thru  
module to a network device that supports Gigabit speed.  
To establish a network-based PXE deployment infrastructure, provide the following software and minimum

HP ProLiant Essentials Rapid Deployment Pack  
NOTE: To deploy server blades in an existing server blade enclosure, always use the most  
recent version of RDP available at the HP website (http://www.hp.com/servers/rdp).  
The RDP software is the preferred method for rapid, high-volume server deployments. The RDP software  
integrates two powerful products: Altiris Deployment Solution and the HP ProLiant Integration Module.  
The intuitive graphical user interface of the Altiris Deployment Solution console provides simplified point-  
and-click and drag-and-drop operations that enable you to deploy target servers, including server blades,  
remotely. It enables you to perform imaging or scripting functions and maintain software images.  
For more information about the RDP, refer to the HP ProLiant Essentials Rapid Deployment Pack CD or  
refer to the HP website (http://www.hp.com/servers/rdp).  
CD-ROM deployment  
CD-ROM deployment involves using a bootable CD that executes scripts to configure the hardware and  
install the OS. After the OS is configured, the server blade can access the network to locate the scripts  
and files necessary for deployment. Before beginning the deployment process, connect the server blade to  
the network.

DIMM. DIMMs that are likely to receive a fatal/uncorrectable memory error are removed from  
operation automatically, resulting in less system downtime.  
See the server-specific user guide for DIMM population requirements.  
Mirrored Memory Mode—Provides protection against uncorrectable memory errors that would  
otherwise result in system failure. In this mode, the system maintains two copies of all data. If an  
uncorrectable memory error occurs, the system automatically retrieves the good data from the  
mirrored copy. The system continues to operate normally without any user intervention. If the system  
supports hot-plug memory, the failed memory can be replaced while the system continues to operate.  
RAID Memory Mode—Provides protection levels similar to Mirrored Memory Mode, and it requires  
less memory allocation than full redundancy.

Automatic Server Recovery  
ASR is a feature that causes the system to restart when a catastrophic operating system error occurs, such  
as a blue screen, ABEND, or panic. A system fail-safe timer, the ASR timer, starts when the System  
Management driver, also known as the Health Driver, is loaded. When the operating system is  
functioning properly, the system periodically resets the timer. However, when the operating system fails,  
the timer expires and restarts the server.  
ASR increases server availability by restarting the server within a specified time after a system hang or  
shutdown. At the same time, the HP SIM console notifies you by sending a message to a designated  
pager number that ASR has restarted the system. You can disable ASR from the HP SIM console or  
through RBSU.

Federal Communications Commission notice  
Part 15 of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Rules and Regulations has established Radio  
Frequency (RF) emission limits to provide an interference-free radio frequency spectrum. Many electronic  
devices, including computers, generate RF energy incidental to their intended function and are, therefore,  
covered by these rules. These rules place computers and related peripheral devices into two classes, A  
and B, depending upon their intended installation. Class A devices are those that may reasonably be  
expected to be installed in a business or commercial environment. Class B devices are those that may  
reasonably be expected to be installed in a residential environment (for example, personal computers).  
The FCC requires devices in both classes to bear a label indicating the interference potential of the device  
as well as additional operating instructions for the user.  
FCC rating label  
The FCC rating label on the device shows the classification (A or B) of the equipment. Class B devices  
have an FCC logo or ID on the label. Class A devices do not have an FCC logo or ID on the label. After

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.

Customer Self Repair  
HP products are designed with many Customer Self Repair (CSR) parts to minimize repair time and allow  
for greater flexibility in performing defective parts replacement. If during the diagnosis period HP (or HP  
service 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:  
Technical support 82  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
         
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

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  
Technical support 85

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  
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:  
Technical support 86

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.
