NMI functionality  
An NMI crash dump enables administrators to create crash dump files when a system is hung and is not  
responding to traditional debug mechanisms.  
Crash dump log analysis is an essential part of diagnosing reliability problems, such as hangs in  
operating systems, device drivers, and applications. Many crashes freeze a system, and the only  
available action for administrators is to cycle the system power. Resetting the system erases any  
information that could support problem analysis, but the NMI feature preserves that information by  
performing a memory dump before a hard reset.  
To force the OS to invoke the NMI handler and generate a crash dump log, the administrator can do any  
of the following:  
Short the NMI jumper pins  
Press the NMI switch  
Use the Lights-Out 100 Virtual NMI feature

Space and airflow requirements  
Tower server  
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, you must install the high  
airflow rack door insert [P/N 327281-B21 (42U) or P/N 157847-B21 (22U)] 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.  
Setup 18

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 (UPS). 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.

Rack warnings  
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment, be sure that:  
The leveling jacks are extended to the floor.  
The full weight of the rack rests on the leveling jacks.  
The stabilizing feet are attached to the rack if it is a single-rack installation.  
The racks are coupled together in multiple-rack installations.  
Only one component is extended at a time. A rack may become unstable if more than one  
component is extended for any reason.  
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or equipment damage when unloading a  
rack:  
At least two people are needed to safely unload the rack from the pallet. An empty 42U  
rack can weigh as much as 115 kg (253 lb), can stand more than 2.1 m (7 ft) tall, and  
may become unstable when being moved on its casters.  
Never stand in front of the rack when it is rolling down the ramp from the pallet. Always  
handle the rack from both sides.  
Installing hardware options  
Install any hardware options before initializing the server. For options installation information, refer to the  
option documentation. For server-specific information, refer to "Hardware options installation (on page  
Powering up and configuring the server  
To power up the server, press the Power On/Standby button.  
For detailed information on configuring the server, see the server installation sheet.  
Installing the operating system  
To operate properly, the server must have a supported operating system. For the latest information on  
supported operating systems, refer to the HP website (http://www.hp.com/go/supportos).  
To install an operating system on the server, insert the operating system CD into the CD-ROM drive and  
reboot the server. This process may require you to obtain additional drivers from the support CD shipped  
with the server or the CD that shipped with the option. The drivers may have updates that are available  
on the HP website (http://www.hp.com/support).  
Follow the on-screen instructions to begin the installation process.

Hardware options installation  
Introduction  
If more than one option is being installed, read the installation instructions for all the hardware options  
and identify similar steps to streamline the installation process.  
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the drives and the  
internal system components to cool before touching them.  
CAUTION: To prevent damage to electrical components, properly ground the server before  
beginning any installation procedure. Improper grounding can cause electrostatic discharge.  
Memory options  
IMPORTANT: This server does not support mixing RDIMMs and UDIMMs. Attempting to mix  
these two types causes the server to halt during BIOS initialization.  
The memory subsystem in this server can support RDIMMs or UDIMMs. Both types are referred to as  
DIMMs when the information applies to both types. When specified as RDIMM or UDIMM, the  
information applies to that type only. All memory installed in the server must be the same type.  
The server supports the following DIMM speeds:  
Single- and dual-rank PC3-10600 (DDR-1333) DIMMs operating at 1333 and 1066 MHz  
Quad-rank PC3-8500 (DDR-1067) DIMMs operating at 1066 MHz  
Depending on the processor model, the number of DIMMs installed, and whether UDIMMs or RDIMMs  
are installed, the memory clock speed may be reduced to 1066 or 800 MHz. For more information on  
the effect of DIMM slot population, see "General DIMM slot population guidelines (on page 23)."  
Memory subsystem architecture  
The memory subsystem in this server is divided into channels. The processor supports two channels, and  
each channel supports three DIMM slots, as shown in the following table.

DIMM slots in this server are identified by number and by letter. Letters identify the slots to populate for  
specific AMP modes. Slot numbers are reported by ROM messages during boot and for error reporting.  
Single-, dual-, and quad-rank DIMMs  
To understand and configure memory protection modes properly, an understanding of single-, dual-, and  
quad-rank DIMMs is helpful. Some DIMM configuration requirements are based on these classifications.  
A single-rank DIMM has one set of memory chips that is accessed while writing to or reading from the  
memory. A dual-rank DIMM is similar to having two single-rank DIMMs on the same module, with only  
one rank accessible at a time. A quad-rank DIMM is, effectively, two dual-rank DIMMs on the same  
module. Only one rank is accessible at a time. The server memory control subsystem selects the proper  
rank within the DIMM when writing to or reading from the DIMM.  
Dual- and quad-rank DIMMs provide the greatest capacity with the existing memory technology. For  
example, if current DRAM technology supports 2-GB single-rank DIMMs, a dual-rank DIMM would be 4-  
GB, and a quad-rank DIMM would be 8-GB.  
DIMM identification  
IMPORTANT: This server does not support mixing RDIMMs and UDIMMs. Attempting to mix  
these two types causes the server to halt during BIOS initialization.  
The memory subsystem may be populated with either RDIMMs or UDIMMs, but mixing the two types is not  
supported. To determine DIMM characteristics, use the label attached to the DIMM and the following  
illustration and table.

General DIMM slot population guidelines  
The HP ProLiant DL120 G6 Server has six memory slots.  
There are two channels per server with three DIMM slot per channel.  
Memory channel 1 consists of the three (3) DIMMs that are closest to the processor  
Memory channel 2 consists of the three (3) DIMMs that are furthest from the processor  
Different types of processors have different types of memory support.  
The server supports up to 12 GB (6 x 2-GB) for Registered Memory configurations.  
The server supports up to 8 GB (4 x 2-GB) for Unbuffered Memory configurations.  
Observe the following guidelines when installing DIMMs:  
Do not mix Unbuffered and Registered PC3 DIMMs.  
Do not mix DIMMs of varying speeds.  
Do not mix DIMMs of varying voltages.  
Do not mix Unbuffered memory (UDIMMs) with Registered memory (RDIMMs).  
Do not install DIMMs if the processor is not installed.  
Populate DIMMs from heaviest load (double-rank) to lightest load (single-rank) within a channel.  
Heaviest load (DIMM with most ranks) within a channel goes furthest from the CPU.  
Non-ECC DIMMs are not supported  
Each channel supports up to two Unbuffered DIMMs.  
When using UDIMMs, use ECC only.  
When possible, balance the loads per channel.  
If quad-rank DIMMs are installed for the processor, a maximum of two DIMMs can be installed on  
each channel for that processor.  
If a channel contains quad-rank DIMMs, the quad-rank DIMM must be installed first on that channel.  
256MB technology, x4 DRAM on UDIMMs and quad-rank UDIMMs are not supported.  
Always use HP qualified DIMMs.  
Populate the DIMM slots in the following sequence:  
DIMM 3A and DIMM 6B  
DIMM 2C and DIMM 5D  
DIMM1E and DIMM 4F

Battery-backed write cache battery pack option  
CAUTION: To prevent a server malfunction or damage to the equipment, do not add or  
remove the battery pack while an array capacity expansion, RAID level migration, or stripe  
size migration is in progress.  
CAUTION: After the server is powered down, wait 15 seconds and then check the amber LED  
before unplugging the cable from the cache module. If the amber LED blinks after 15  
seconds, do not remove the cable from the cache module. The cache module is backing up  
data, and data is lost if the cable is detached.  
IMPORTANT: The battery pack might have a low charge when installed. In this case, a POST  
error message is displayed when the server is powered up, indicating that the battery pack is  
temporarily disabled. No action is necessary on your part. The internal circuitry automatically  
recharges the batteries and enables the battery pack. This process might take up to four  
hours. During this time, the cache module functions properly, but without the performance  
advantage of the battery pack.

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 13).  
5.  
6.  
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.  
Collect all tools and utilities, such as a Torx screwdriver, loopback adapters, ESD wrist strap, and  
software utilities, necessary to troubleshoot the problem.  
HP recommends you have access to the server documentation for server-specific information.  
Symptom information  
Before troubleshooting a server problem, collect the following information:  
What events preceded the failure? After which steps does the problem occur?  
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 47) 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.  
Diagnostic steps  
To effectively troubleshoot a problem, HP recommends that you start with the first flowchart in this section,  
"Start diagnosis flowchart (on page 54)," and follow the appropriate diagnostic path. If the other  
flowcharts do not provide a troubleshooting solution, follow the diagnostic steps in "General diagnosis  
flowchart (on page 55)." The General diagnosis flowchart is a generic troubleshooting process to be used  
when the problem is not server-specific or is not easily categorized into the other flowcharts.

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  
you determine the class of the device, refer to the corresponding statement.

to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular  
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can  
be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the  
interference by one or more of the following measures:  
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.  
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.  
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit that is different from that to which the receiver is  
connected.  
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio or television technician for help.  
Declaration of conformity for products marked with  
the FCC logo, United States only

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:  
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.  
Technical support 96  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
     
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.  
Technical support 98

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.  
Weitere Informationen über das HP Customer Self Repair Programm erhalten Sie von Ihrem Servicepartner  
vor Ort. Informationen über das CSR-Programm in Nordamerika finden Sie auf der HP Website unter  
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

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.
