Product description

Bluetooth wireless technology eliminates the need for cables between electronic

devices such as desktop computers, printers, and local area networks (LANs).

Bluetooth wireless technology provides fast, reliable, and secure wireless commu-

nication in a small space, and enables you to synchronize devices such as your

desktop computer and mobile phone.

Bluetooth wireless technology has the following features:

•

Worldwide operation: The Bluetooth radio transmitter and receiver operates

in the 2.45 GHz band, which is license-free and compatible with any radio sys-

tem in the world (with the exception of France).

Link establishment: You can establish a link between two or more devices

almost instantly. The link is maintained even if the devices are not within line

of sight.

•

Robust link: Under normal conditions, your connection will not suffer from

interference from other radio signals operating in the same frequency band.

Data and voice recognition: You can use Bluetooth wireless technology for

data transfer or voice communication separately or simultaneously.

Security: Two advanced security mechanisms ensure a high level of security:

— Authentication prevents access to critical data and makes it impossible to

falsify the origin of a message.

— Encryption prevents eavesdropping and maintains link privacy.

In addition to this guide, your option package includes the following:

•

Before you begin

Before you begin installing and using your Bluetooth PC Card, review the follow-

ing terms that will be used throughout the manual.

•

Authentication: A security mechanism that prevents access to critical data

and makes it impossible to falsify the origin of a message.

•

Device address: The unique address of a Bluetooth device.

Device discovery: Before a link can be established, a Bluetooth device needs

to "discover", or find, the other Bluetooth devices that are active and in range.

•

Device name: The name that a Bluetooth device presents itself with when

supplying identity information to another device.

Master device: The device that initiates a connection and, during this connec-

tion, controls all traffic in a piconet.

Park mode: An economical, low-power "sub-mode" of standby. In park

mode, a slave device does not participate in the piconet but remains synchro-

nized to it. Park mode is used to increase the number of slave devices con-

nected to a master device.

•

Piconet: A wireless network formed by two or more Bluetooth devices.

Profile: An application that a Bluetooth device facilitates. For one device to

communicate with another, the two devices must have a shared profile.

•

Slave device: A device in a piconet controlled by another device (the master

device).

1-12 Bluetooth PC Card from IBM: Installation and User’s Guide

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

User’s guide

This User’s guide provides product and software descriptions, installation instruc-

™

tions, and user’s information for the Bluetooth Software Suite. If you need basic

information on Bluetooth wireless technology, see the Installation guide on page 1-

1. Both the Installation guide and this User’s guide are included on the Bluetooth Soft-

ware Suite CD. These two documents are available from the Windows Start menu

when you have the Bluetooth Software Suite.

Product description

With the Bluetooth Software Suite, you can establish wireless links between your

computer and other Bluetooth wireless devices. Without using an inch of cable,

you can do the following:

•

Transfer sound files, objects, and other files

Access the Internet by means of dial-up networking

Connect to local area networks

Send fax messages, using the fax software on your computer

Establish Bluetooth ad hoc networks consisting of two or more Bluetooth-

enabled devices

•

Connect to serial devices (legacy applications)

The Bluetooth Neighborhood is an equivalent to the Microsoft Network Neigh-

borhood. The Microsoft Network Neighborhood is an ordinary network, while

the Bluetooth Neighborhood is a wireless network of the Bluetooth devices within

range.

The basic functions of the Bluetooth Neighborhood include three steps:

•

Carrying out device discovery. For example: finding out which remote Blue-

tooth devices are available within your range

Carrying out service discovery. For example: finding out which services

(applications) a remote device facilitates

Establishing links to remote devices

The Bluetooth Neighborhood window

To open the Bluetooth Neighborhood, double-click the shortcut placed on your

desktop during installation.

The Bluetooth Neighborhood window displays the following:

1. Menu bar: Contains standard Microsoft Windows pull-down menus and a

Bluetooth menu. From the menu bar, you can access the Bluetooth Software

Suite online help.

2. Tool bar: Contains standard Windows tools like Back, Forward, View, etc. In

addition, the bar contains such Bluetooth tools as Device Discovery and Dis-

connect.

3. Address bar: Displays which item is currently selected. From this bar, you can

also browse in Windows Explorer.

4. View details: Displays various information on the items in the list-view. For

more information, see “View details” on page 2-12.

5. Local Profiles/ Local Services bar: Shows the local profiles or the local services

that your Bluetooth device supports. For more information, see “Profiles and

services”.

6. Status bar: Provides information on the item currently selected in the Blue-

tooth Neighborhood.

7. List-view: Displays the contents of the folder, remote device, etc. currently

selected (see “List-view” on page 2-5).

The setup of the Bluetooth Neighborhood window depends on your Windows

Explorer setup. The above list does not describe all of the standard Windows com-

ponents that can be added.

Profiles and services

All Bluetooth devices have at least one profile, that is, an application with which

you can use the device.

When two devices are to communicate with each other, they must have a shared

profile. If, for example, you want to transfer a file from one Bluetooth-enabled

computer to another, both computers must support the profile OBEX File Trans-

fer.

The Bluetooth Software Suite supports a number of profiles, called your Local

Profiles. You will find these on the Local Profiles bar, below.

User’s guide 2-3

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

Although the function of the Local Profiles bar is to display the profiles your

device supports, the Local Services bar shows what you will actually use when

operating the Bluetooth Neighborhood. Facilitated by a profile, each of the ser-

vices represents a specific operation that your device can carry out. An example of

a service is audio, or sound transfer, which is facilitated by the Generic Audio pro-

file. Sound transfer can take place between your computer and other Bluetooth

devices that support the Generic Audio profile.

For the Local Profiles bar, click Local Profiles. For the Local Services bar, click

Local Services.

Note: For a complete list of the profiles that your Bluetooth device supports,

including which services each profile facilitates, see Appendix A, “Pro-

files” on page A-1.

List-view

The list-view in the main window contains three elements: My Inbox, My Shared

Files, and a list of discovered remote devices. When an item is selected in the

Bluetooth Neighborhood, such as My Inbox or a remote device, the list-view dis-

plays the contents of that item.

My Inbox

This is where your device receives objects like electronic business cards, messages,

and notes. My Inbox is a folder of files like any other Windows folder, and its con-

tents can be copied, renamed, and dragged and dropped. (For more information,

see “Receiving objects” on page 2-23.)

My Shared Files

In this folder, you can make files available to remote users. When a remote user

has carried out service discovery on your device, they will be able to open your

folder My Shared Files and the files you have placed in it.

Also, remote users can place files in your folder My Shared Files, and – if autho-

rized – delete files (see “File transfer settings” on page 2-42 for information on the

security aspects of receiving files).

Finally, if a remote device sends a file to your device, it is received in My Shared

Files. Like My Inbox, you can manipulate My Shared Files like any Windows

folder. For more information, see “File transfer” on page 2-26.

Remote devices or services

The devices shown in the main window list-view are the remote Bluetooth

devices that your device has detected during device discovery. The icons show

what kind of device each remote device is (device class), such as "desktop com-

puter" or "server-class computer", as shown in the illustration below.

Note: The list-view does not show your local device, only remote ones.

When service discovery has been carried out on a remote device, the list-view will

change to show the services facilitated by the remote device in question. Each ser-

vice is represented by an icon.

The icons will also indicate whether the devices are “linked," “bonded," or both.

Appendix B, “List view icons” on page B-1 contains a complete list of the various

remote device and service icons.

The list-view settings can be changed as in other Windows list-view settings; you

can for instance change the size of the icons or have the elements displayed as a

list. For Bluetooth Software Suite settings information, see “View details” on page

2-12.

Naming your local device

Before you start communicating with remote users, select the name that you want

your device to present when discovered by remote devices. To name your local

device, do the following:

1. Click Bluetooth, then click Bluetooth Neighborhood Properties.

The Bluetooth Neighborhood Properties window opens.

2. Click the Settings tab.

User’s guide 2-7

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

3. In the Bluetooth Device Name field, type the name you want your device to

present when detected by devices; then click OK.

Other Bluetooth devices that detect your device now see it as the name you

have set.

Device discovery

Before your local device can communicate with a remote Bluetooth device, it must

discover the remote devices that are available and within range. This is called

device discovery. To perform device discovery, do the following:

1. Click Bluetooth, then click Device Discovery.

While your device is looking for remote devices, a window opens, displaying

the progress of the device discovery.

2-8 Bluetooth PC Card from IBM: Installation and User’s Guide

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

2. When device discovery is finished, the list-view displays the remote devices

within range that are currently available. You can also see previously discov-

ered devices that are no longer available.

Note: The main window list-view does not show your local device, only the

discovered remote ones.

There are alternative ways of performing device discovery:

•

When the main window list-view (with discovered devices) is displayed,

press F5. This updates the list-view.

•

On the tool bar, click Device Discovery.

Service discovery

Before trying to establish a link to a remote device, perform service discovery to

determine what services the device facilitates. To perform service discovery, select

list-view in the Bluetooth Neighborhood window; then double-click the remote

device that you want to discover services for.

User’s guide 2-9

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

When the service discovery has been performed, the list-view displays the ser-

vices that the remote device supports.

In some situations, it might not be possible to carry out service discovery. There

could be a number of reasons for this. For example, the remote user might have

set up his device to reject link establishment attempts (see “The Trust tab” on page

2-51). If service discovery (or any other activity) is not carried out successfully, a

window opens explaining what went wrong.

Link establishment

When you have performed service discovery, you can establish a link to the

remote device. You can use any service that both your device and the remote

device support. To establish a link, drag the local service to the corresponding

remote service. For example, you can drag your local dial-up networking (DUN)

link to the remote DUN service. If the remote device is a computer with access to

a modem, you can access the Internet remotely.

Note: If you know in advance that a remote device supports a particular service,

you can skip service discovery. Just drag the local service to the remote

device.

In some situations, it might not be possible to carry out link establishment. There

could be a number of reasons for this. For example, the remote user might have

set up his device to reject link establishment attempts (see “The Trust tab” on page

2-51). If link establishment (or any other activity) is not carried out successfully, a

window opens explaining what went wrong.

Disconnecting a link establishment

To disconnect an established link to a remote device, do the following:

1. Select the remote device or service that you want your device to disconnect

from.

2. Click Bluetooth, then click Disconnect.

You can also double-click the remote service that your local device is connected to.

The link will be disconnected.

Status information

The Bluetooth Neighborhood status bar provides you with information on the

item currently selected in the Bluetooth Neighborhood, such as the name of a

remote device (“Brent Smith”) or “My Inbox”. Also, message boxes keep you

informed of the progress of any activity, and inform you if anything goes wrong.

When you have performed service discovery on a remote device, the list-view can

display the following information on the services that the remote device supports:

•

Name: The name of the remote service.

Description: The name of the profile that supports the remote service. If your

device features the same profile, compatibility between the two devices is pos-

sible.

•

Status: Whether the remote service is connected to your device.

My Inbox and My Shared Files details

If you have opened My Inbox or My Shared Files, you can get the same informa-

tion on each of the received objects or files that you can get in standard Windows

folders:

User’s guide 2-13

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

•

Name: The name given to the object or file when it was saved.

Size: The size of the object or folder.

Type: The type of the object or folder, for instance “vCard File".

Modified: The date when the object or file was last saved.

Device folders

In the Bluetooth Neighborhood main list-view, you can create device folders,

which are folders containing a number of remote devices. You can communicate

with a device folder the same way you can communicate with any single remote

device. When doing so, you are communicating with all the devices in the folder

at the same time. This feature makes it easy to distribute objects and files to more

than one device at a time, or to establish multiple audio links to be used for con-

ferencing.

To create a device folder, do the following:

1. Open the Bluetooth Neighborhood main window.

2. Click Bluetooth, then click Create New Device Folder. A new folder is dis-

played in the list-view.

The default name of the folder is New Folder. However, you can rename the

folder like any Windows folder by selecting it, clicking F2, and typing the

name you want.

3. Drag the remote devices you want to the device folder. To move more than

one remote device at the same time, hold down the CTRL key, click each

remote device; then drag the selected remote devices to the folder.

2-14 Bluetooth PC Card from IBM: Installation and User’s Guide

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

You can create as many device folders as you like, and you can include as many

devices in each folder as you like.

Communicating with a device folder is done in exactly the same way as with a

single remote device.

Online help

You can open the Bluetooth Software Suite online help by clicking the Help in the

menu bar, or by pressing F1. Help provides you with links to the online version of

this User’s guide. The design of the Help function is similar to the Windows Help.

Local services

This section provides information on the local services you can use with Bluetooth

wireless technology.

Object transfer

In the Bluetooth Neighborhood, you can transfer such objects as business cards, e-

mail messages, and notes. If the Microsoft Outlook application is installed on

your computer, that is where you create and send objects. If Microsoft Outlook is

not installed on your computer, you can use the Object Editor included in the

Bluetooth Software Suite.

Making default business cards available

Before your business card can be transferred to a remote device, it must be

included as a service on your Local Services bar. This will enable remote users to

"pull" your business card, that is, transfer your business card to their devices. You

can also "push" your business card, that is, transfer the card to remote devices.

Pulling and pushing can take place in the same operation, called "exchanging".

This can be done by both you and a remote user.

If you have Microsoft Outlook, you can create a business card in Contacts, and

then drag it into the Bluetooth Neighborhood. If you do not have Microsoft Out-

look, you can use the Object Editor.

Exchanging business cards from Microsoft Outlook: To exchange business cards

from Microsoft Outlook, do the following:

1. Open both the Bluetooth Neighborhood and Microsoft Outlook.

6. Click Save.

When you have saved the file, you can transfer it as you would any other file

using the Bluetooth Neighborhood. For more information, see “File transfer”.

File transfer

File transfer is a way of sharing files with others. In the Bluetooth Neighborhood,

you can make a file available to a remote user by placing it in the folder My

Shared Files. When a remote user has performed service discovery on your

device, that user can open your My Shared Files folder and the files in it. Further-

more, the user can add and delete files if authorized to do so (for information on

the security aspects of My Shared Files, see “File transfer settings” on page 2-42).

If a remote device sends a file to your local device, it is received in the My Shared

Files folder.

Making a file available in the My Shared Files folder

To place a file in the My Shared Files folder, drag the file from where it is stored to

My Shared Files. You can also open the My Shared Files folder first, and then drag

the file to the list-view displaying the contents of My Shared Files.

When a remote user opens your folder My Shared Files, they have access to the

file you placed in it.

Sending a file to a remote device

If you want to transfer a file to the Shared Files folder of a remote device, you can

do so in a number of ways:

•

Drag the file from where it is stored to the remote device (or device folder).

•

Perform service discovery on the remote device; then drag the file from where

it is stored into the remote Shared Files folder.

•

Perform service discovery on the remote device; then open the remote Shared

Files folder. Drag the file from where it is stored to the list-view displaying

the contents of the remote Shared Files folder.

User’s guide 2-27

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

No matter which way you choose to transfer a file to a remote device, the user of

that device receives the file in the Shared Files folder.

Receiving files

When your local Bluetooth device receives a file sent from a remote device, the file

is placed in your My Shared Files folder. You can then open the received file

directly from My Shared Files, or you can drag the file to wherever you want to

store it.

Transferring audio

An audio link makes it possible to transfer sound from one Bluetooth device to

another. There are two ways of using an audio link:

•

Using your computer as a Bluetooth Audio Device: Connect a headset to your

computer, establish an audio link to one or more remote devices; then use the

computer like a 2-way radio. The sound coming from the headset over the

Bluetooth link will be detected by the operating system as coming from a

sound card. This also makes it possible to use the headset as input or output

device in a Microsoft NetMeeting Internet conference or for dictation soft-

ware based on voice recognition.

Bluetooth COM ports

Physical communications (COM) ports are used when two serial devices are con-

nected by means of a cable. A Bluetooth COM port, however, is a virtual COM

port providing a wireless alternative to a physical one. Bluetooth COM ports

make it possible to connect to almost any Bluetooth-enabled serial device (legacy

application) that would otherwise have been connected using a cable and a phys-

ical COM port.

Because Bluetooth links are wireless, you do not need a physical COM port to

connect to a remote device. However, in connection with some of your local pro-

files, you need a Bluetooth COM port. This provides an address needed by your

legacy application to establish a link to a remote device.

Note: Most users do not need Bluetooth COM ports at all; the default settings

ensure that you can use all of your Local Services without having to make

any Bluetooth COM port settings.

The following services are supported by profiles that are associated with a Blue-

tooth COM port:

•

DUN (dial-up networking profile)

FAX (fax profile)

LAN (LAN access profile)

Default business card (OBEX object push)

File transfer (OBEX file transfer)

Serial port profile

Except for the serial port profile, the above-mentioned profiles are associated with

the Bluetooth COM ports 7, 8, and 9 by default. You can change these settings. For

more information, see “Bluetooth COM port settings” on page 2-31.

New Bluetooth COM ports and compatibility

Some users might want to add one or more additional Bluetooth COM ports to

the computer. This is necessary if you want to make use of the Serial Port Profile

to, for instance, use a serial application like HyperTerminal to transfer data

between two Bluetooth-enabled computers.

2-30 Bluetooth PC Card from IBM: Installation and User’s Guide

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

The same profile must be associated with the local B l u etooth COM port and the

remote one you want to connect to. Therefore, before you can establish a serial

Bluetooth COM port link to a remote device, you must associate the Serial Port

Profile with a Bluetooth COM port, and then add the Bluetooth COM port to your

computer. For link establishment to be possible, the remote device must also have

a Bluetooth COM port with the Serial Port associated with it.

For information on how you can add and remove Bluetooth COM ports and

change the settings concerning which profiles are associated with which Blue-

tooth COM ports, see “Bluetooth COM port settings”.

Bluetooth COM port settings

Before you can make use of a Bluetooth COM port link, you must associate one or

more appropriate profiles with a Bluetooth COM port and then add the COM port

to your Local Services bar (see “Bluetooth COM ports” on page 2-30). These set-

tings are made through the Bluetooth Configuration Tool.

In Trust Relationship, you can make default settings to be applied when your

local device discovers a remote device for the first time. These settings will not be

used by default if you selected the previous item, Configure Newly Discovered

Devices, for making trust relationship decisions upon initially detecting remote

devices. You can decide whether your device should:

•

Reject a link establishment attempt

User’s guide 2-51

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

•

Prompt you before accepting link establishment

Accept link establishment automatically

To have the default trust relationship settings applied to all existing discovered

devices, click Apply to all devices.

Note: If you want to make trust relationship settings for a particular remote

device, rather than for all remote devices, you can do so from the Trust tab

of the Remote Device Properties window.

The Advanced Link Policy window

To view or change the trust relationship settings for one or more discovered

remote devices, click Advanced Settings.

In this window, each discovered remote device is listed in one of three boxes:

•

Reject link establishment attempt

Prompt before accepting link establishment

Automatically accept link establishment

The location of each remote device indicates which default trust relationship set-

tings have been selected for it.

To change the trust relationship setting for a device in the Advanced Link Policy

window, drag the device from its present position to the box representing the trust

relationship you want for the device. The new settings are now applied to the

remote device the next time it attempts to connect to your local device.

The Security tab

In the Security tab, you can make a number of decisions concerning the security

of your local device.

Security Mode

Security Mode can be set to either No Security or Link level security.

If a device has selected link level security, no remote device can connect to it with-

out bonding (see “The Bonding tab” on page 2-54). You can only use encryption

when you have selected link level security.

Encryption Mode

Encryption Mode can be enabled or disabled. Based on the use of a link key, this

feature can only be enabled when link level security has been selected.

If encryption is enabled: When your device is communicating, only the linked

devices will be able to understand the data sent between them.

Connectibility Mode

Connectibility Mode refers to whether remote devices, having discovered your

device, can establish a link to it. In other words, selecting non-connectable mode

is a way of ensuring that no remote device can connect to your device.

User’s guide 2-53

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

Discoverability Mode

Discoverability Mode refers to whether other devices can discover your device.

In other words, selecting non-discoverable mode is a way to prevent remote

devices from discovering your device.

The Bonding tab

Bonding refers to the creation of a link key – a bond – between two devices. Bond-

ing is used when a device requires link level security (see “The Security tab” on

page 2-53 for more information). When a remote device attempts to connect to the

device requiring link level security, the users of both devices are prompted for a

password. They must then enter the same password.

The purpose of bonding is for two devices to be able to identify each other so that

no remote device can connect without knowing the right password. This is conve-

nient if, for instance, you do not want any other device than your own Bluetooth-

enabled phone to be able to connect to your computer. Other devices trying to

connect are prompted for the password, which prevents them from interfering

with the current connection.

The duration of the bonding can be set to last beyond the current link; if so, the

two devices are prompted only for the password the first time they connect (i.e.,

when they create the bond).

When creating the bond and when making use of an existing one, both devices

must be in bondable mode. Bonding settings are configured in the Bonding tab of

the Bluetooth Neighborhood Properties window.

In the Bonding tab, you can decide whether your device is able to bond to other

devices. To be able to establish a new bond and to make use of an existing one,

your device must be in bondable mode.

Default Bluetooth Bonding Expiration

In Default Bluetooth Bonding Expiration, you can set bonding to expire when

the link is disconnected, after a specified period of time, or never.

Note: The settings you make in the Bonding tab are default settings that are

applied to all remote devices. For information on how to make settings for

The Trust tab

In the Trust tab of the Remote Devices Properties window, you can make settings

for the individual remote device concerning:

•

Trust relationship: The way your local device reacts if the remote device

attempts to establish a link to it.

In Trust Relationship, you can define the trust relationship to be applied

when the remote device wants to establish a link to your device:

— Reject link establishment

— Prompt before accepting link establishment

— Automatically accept link establishment

If you want to, you can apply the selected trust relationship to all remote

devices. To do so, click Apply to all devices.

•

Bonding expiration: How long the bond between your local device and the

remote device lasts (see “The Bonding tab” on page 2-54 for more informa-

tion).

With Bonding Expiration, you can make settings concerning the duration of

bonding between your local device and the remote one. You can set the bond-

ing to expire when the link is disconnected, after a specified period of time, or

never.

IBM Statement of Limited Warranty for United States, Puerto

Rico, and Canada (Part 1 - General Terms)

This Statement of Warranty includes Part 1 - General Terms and Part 2 - Country-unique

Terms. The terms of Part 2 may replace or modify those of Part 1. The warranties

provided by IBM in this Statement of Warranty apply only to Machines you purchase for

your use, and not for resale, from IBM or your reseller. The term "Machine" means an

IBM machine, its features, conversions, upgrades, elements, or accessories, or any combi-

nation of them. The term "Machine" does not include any software programs, whether

pre-loaded with the Machine, installed subsequently or otherwise. Unless IBM specifies

otherwise, the following warranties apply only in the country where you acquire the

Machine. Nothing in this Statement of Warranty affects any statutory rights of consum-

ers that cannot be waived or limited by contract. If you have any questions, contact IBM

or your reseller.

The IBM Warranty for Machines

Machine - Bluetooth PC Card from IBM

Warranty period* - One Year

* Contact your place of purchase for warranty service information. Some IBM Machines are

eligible for on-site warranty service depending on the country where service is performed.

IBM warrants that each Machine 1) is free from defects in materials and work-

manship and 2) conforms to IBM's Official Published Specifications. The warranty

period for a Machine is a specified, fixed period commencing on its Date of Instal-

lation. The date on your sales receipt is the Date of Installation, unless IBM or

your reseller informs you otherwise.

E-1

During the warranty period IBM or your reseller, if approved by IBM to provide

warranty service, will provide repair and exchange service for the Machine, with-

out charge, under the type of service designated for the Machine and will manage

and install engineering changes that apply to the Machine.

If a Machine does not function as warranted during the warranty period, and IBM

or your reseller are unable to either 1) make it do so or 2) replace it with one that is

at least functionally equivalent, you may return it to your place of purchase and

your money will be refunded. The replacement may not be new, but will be in

good working order.

Extent of Warranty

The warranty does not cover the repair or exchange of a Machine resulting from

misuse, accident, modification, unsuitable physical or operating environment,

improper maintenance by you, or failure caused by a product for which IBM is

not responsible. The warranty is voided by removal or alteration of Machine or

parts identification labels.

THESE WARRANTIES ARE YOUR EXCLUSIVE WARRANTIES AND

REPLACE ALL OTHER WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS, EXPRESS OR

IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRAN-

TIES OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A

PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THESE WARRANTIES GIVE YOU SPECIFIC

LEGAL RIGHTS AND YOU MAY ALSO HAVE OTHER RIGHTS WHICH

VARY FROM JURISDICTION TO JURISDICTION. SOME JURISDICTIONS

DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF EXPRESS OR

IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO THE ABOVE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION

MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. IN THAT EVENT, SUCH WARRANTIES ARE

LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE WARRANTY PERIOD. NO WARRAN-

TIES APPLY AFTER THAT PERIOD.

Items Not Covered by Warranty

IBM does not warrant uninterrupted or error-free operation of a Machine.

Unless specified otherwise, IBM provides non-IBM machines WITHOUT WAR-

RANTIES OF ANY KIND.

Any technical or other support provided for a Machine under warranty, such as

assistance via telephone with "how-to" questions and those regarding Machine

set-up and installation, will be provided WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY

KIND.

Warranty Service

To obtain warranty service for the Machine, contact your reseller or IBM. In the

United States, call IBM at 1-800-565-3344. In Canada, call IBM at 1-800-565-3344.

You may be required to present proof of purchase.

IBM or your reseller provides certain types of repair and exchange service, either

at your location or at a service center, to keep Machines in, or restore them to, con-

formance with their Specifications. IBM or your reseller will inform you of the

available types of service for a Machine based on its country of installation. IBM

may repair the failing Machine or exchange it at its discretion.

When warranty service involves the exchange of a Machine or part, the item IBM

or your reseller replaces becomes its property and the replacement becomes

yours. You represent that all removed items are genuine and unaltered. The

replacement may not be new, but will be in good working order and at least func-

tionally equivalent to the item replaced. The replacement assumes the warranty

service status of the replaced item.

Any feature, conversion, or upgrade IBM or your reseller services must be

installed on a Machine which is 1) for certain Machines, the designated, serial-

numbered Machine and 2) at an engineering-change level compatible with the

feature, conversion, or upgrade. Many features, conversions, or upgrades involve

the removal of parts and their return to IBM. A part that replaces a removed part

will assume the warranty service status of the removed part.

Before IBM or your reseller exchanges a Machine or part, you agree to remove all

features, parts, options, alterations, and attachments not under warranty service.

You also agree to

1. ensure that the Machine is free of any legal obligations or restrictions that pre-

vent its exchange;

2. obtain authorization from the owner to have IBM or your reseller service a

Machine that you do not own; and

3. where applicable, before service is provided

a. follow the problem determination, problem analysis, and service request

procedures that IBM or your reseller provides,

b. secure all programs, data, and funds contained in a Machine,

c. provide IBM or your reseller with sufficient, free, and safe access to your

facilities to permit them to fulfill their obligations, and

d. inform IBM or your reseller of changes in a Machine’s location.

IBM is responsible for loss of, or damage to, your Machine while it is 1) in IBM’s

possession or 2) in transit in those cases where IBM is responsible for the trans-

portation charges.

Neither IBM nor your reseller is responsible for any of your confidential, propri-

etary or personal information contained in a Machine which you return to IBM or

your reseller for any reason. You should remove all such information from the

Machine prior to its return.

Production Status

Each IBM Machine is manufactured from new parts, or new and used parts. In

some cases, the Machine may not be new and may have been previously installed.

Regardless of the Machine’s production status, IBM’s appropriate warranty terms

apply.

Limitation of Liability

Circumstances may arise where, because of a default on IBM’s part or other liabil-

ity, you are entitled to recover damages from IBM. In each such instance, regard-

less of the basis on which you are entitled to claim damages from IBM (including

fundamental breach, negligence, misrepresentation, or other contract or tort

claim), IBM is liable for no more than

Appendix E. Product warranties and notices E-3

1. damages for bodily injury (including death) and damage to real property and

tangible personal property; and

2. the amount of any other actual direct damages, up to the greater of U.S.

$100,000 (or equivalent in local currency) or the charges (if recurring, 12

months’ charges apply) for the Machine that is the subject of the claim.

This limit also applies to IBM’s suppliers and your reseller. It is the maximum

for which IBM, its suppliers, and your reseller are collectively responsible.

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES IS IBM LIABLE FOR ANY OF THE FOL-

LOWING: 1) THIRD-PARTY CLAIMS AGAINST YOU FOR DAMAGES

(OTHER THAN THOSE UNDER THE FIRST ITEM LISTED ABOVE); 2) LOSS

OF, OR DAMAGE TO, YOUR RECORDS OR DATA; OR 3) SPECIAL, INCI-

DENTAL, OR INDIRECT DAMAGES OR FOR ANY ECONOMIC CONSE-

QUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING LOST PROFITS OR SAVINGS), EVEN

IF IBM, ITS SUPPLIERS OR YOUR RESELLER IS INFORMED OF THEIR

POSSIBILITY. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION

OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO

THE ABOVE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
