1 Introduction
The NetServer Storage System/6 provides external mass storage for use with the
current line of HP NetServers. The NetServer Storage System/6 is compatible
with the Small Computer System Interface (SCSI-2) industry standard. Both
Fast and Fast-Wide SCSI-2 are supported. The embedded SCSI controllers in
NetServers, SCSI host bus adapters (HBA) or Disk Array Controllers (DAC)
provide the SCSI interface between the host system and the storage system.
DACs and HBAs are available from Hewlett-Packard (check with your dealer).
The NetServers, HBAs and DACs include software that supports a variety of
operating systems.
The chassis contains horizontal mass storage shelves called SCSI device shelves
in the upper area of the chassis and a hot-swap subsystem with six hot-swap
shelves in two cages in the lower area. The SCSI device shelves support SCSI
devices, such as tape drives. The hot-swap shelves support SCA-2 hot-swap disk
modules provided by HP.
The SCSI connectors on the rear panel connect the storage system to the host
system. The SCSI bus terminates inside the storage system cabinet. A power
supply and the internal cabling necessary for most configurations are included in
the storage system.
The NetServer Storage System/6 can be configured to solve a variety of storage
problems. The disk modules are available in a variety of capacities to meet your
mass storage needs. Mass storage devices and external SCSI cables are not
included with the storage system. They must be ordered separately from your HP
dealer.

1 Introduction
General Operating Instructions
Please read the following instructions carefully. They contain information on
how to avoid data loss and damage to the system due to improper handling.
Reset Switch
The front panel’s reset switch resets the power supply, performs a self test, and
can be used to set the unit identification number.
Power Supply Reset
If the power supply shuts down, momentarily pressing the reset switch initiates a
power supply reset. The reset sequence takes about 15 seconds. The display and
power-on LED are off during the reset sequence.
Self-Test
When a self-test is performed, the results are displayed on the LED. To perform
a self-test, complete the following procedure:
1. With the power switch off, hold the reset switch and turn the power on.
2. Release the reset switch. The seven-segment LED blinks “8.8.” five
times, then displays the firmware revision number. The unit then
performs a power supply reset, as described above.
Unit Identification Number
A unit identification number can be set for identification purposes. It has no
impact on the operation of the storage system. To change the unit identification
number, complete the following procedure:
1. Press and hold the reset switch for approximately five seconds, until the
LED starts its count (at one-second intervals). The numbers 1 through 16
and the letters “HP” display in sequence (“HP” is the default unit
identification number).

1 Introduction
2. Release the reset switch when the desired number displays. The unit
identification number displayed is stored in the EEPROM. The unit
identification number does not change even if the storage system is power-
cycled (unless this procedure is repeated).
NOTE
The power supply does not reset when the unit identification
number is changed.
Power Cycling
On an active network, switching the storage system power on or off while the
host system is operating may affect server operation. Always make sure it is safe
to cycle the power before doing so. Alert network users that the mass storage
will be unavailable while the power is off.
For example, if you are using the HP DAC Write Cache, power cycling could
result in data loss. When using the Write Cache, use the JetSet utility (provided
with HP NetServers) to flush the cache before you cycle power. Wait until the
disk drives are idle and the Write Cache (if used) has been flushed before
switching off power. This avoids corrupting any data transfer that may be in
progress between the host system and a disk.
The status lights on the front of each disk indicate activity. The lights flash
when the host system is transferring data. If no lights are flashing, the bus is idle
and it is safe to switch off the power.
Continuous Operation
The storage system power should remain on whenever the host system is
operating. The disk drives are not harmed by continuous operation; avoid cycling
power unnecessarily.

1 Introduction
Temperature Control
Keeping the unit within the range of normal operating temperatures (see
Appendix A, “Specifications”) is important to the long life and proper function of
the storage system. If the storage system cabinet has been exposed to temperature
extremes, allow two hours for it to stabilize to room temperature and humidity
before switching on the power.
Blank filler panels that cover the SCSI device shelves and the disk module
shelves are installed by the factory. These panels must remain installed for the
product to comply with safety and regulatory requirements, and to provide proper
cooling for the disk modules. If a SCSI device shelf filler panel is lost, you can
order replacements (part number C3310-60017). If a hot-swap storage device
shelf filler panel is lost, you can order replacements (part number 5063-5676).
CAUTION To avoid the hazard of electrical shock and to ensure the cooling
system functions properly, the storage system should not be
operated with the door open.
If “FF” (fan fault) is displayed on the LED panel, the cooling fan has failed.
Shut down the system as quickly as possible. Continued operation of the storage
system with a failed fan could result in loss of data or damage to the storage
system and installed devices.
The LEDs on the disk drive modules indicate the status of the cage. If all the
disk drive module LEDs in a cage are flashing yellow, it indicates a possible over
temperature condition in that cage. If all the drives in a cage are flashing red, it
indicates the temperature in that cage has exceeded the operational temperature
range. Immediately begin shut-down procedures and refer to the
“Troubleshooting” chapter in this manual.
Placement
Do not block the cooling vents. Do not place the storage system closer than 6
inches to a wall to ensure sufficient air flow and cooling.

1 Introduction
Hot-Swap Disk Module Care and Relocation
Handle disk modules carefully. Disk modules are more susceptible to shock,
vibration and electro-static discharge when they are not in the cabinet. Also, do
not touch the SCSI edge connector pins when a disk module is out of the cabinet.
The oils on your skin could weaken the contact.
Once the storage system has been configured and installed, a disk module should
not be moved from one hot-swap shelf to another shelf. Relocating a disk module
changes the SCSI address of that disk. If the SCSI address is changed, the
storage system is not able to read the information on that disk and data will be
lost.
Each disk module shelf is numbered. It is recommended that you mark each
module with its shelf number prior to installation. If a disk module fails, remove
the failed module and place a new module in the same shelf. Placing a
replacement module in a different shelf or relocating a disk module will result in
the loss of data.
Spin Up
The storage system must be powered up and the drives on the storage system
allowed to “spin up” to speed before the HP NetServer is powered on. The drive
activity light is on while the drive spins up. The light is off when the drive has
spun up and there is no read/write activity. If the HP NetServer is powered on
before the storage system is powered on and the drives have spun up, the host
will not recognize the storage system devices.
NOTE
If the SCSI addresses of the hot-swap shelves are set to 1-3 or 9-11,
they are programmed to delay startup. Wait at least two minutes
after the storage systems are powered up before powering up the
host system if any SCSI address is set to 1-3 or 9-11.
Using an Uninterruptible Power Supply
It is recommended that you operate your storage system on an uninterruptible
power supply (UPS). If you do, refer to the documentation included with the UPS
for complete instructions on connecting your storage system. The recommended
UPS budget for a fully loaded storage system is 600VA.

2 Cabling Storage Devices and Setting
SCSI Addresses
This chapter describes the NetServer Storage System/6, switch settings and
common cabling configurations. Once the addresses are set and cabling is
configured, the hardware can be installed as described in the next chapter.
CAUTION Be careful when handling electronic components. Electronic
components can be easily damaged by static electricity. Leave
these sensitive components in their anti-static bags until you are
ready to install them. Handle accessories as little as possible.
When you must handle an accessory, handle it only by the edges
or the mounting bracket. Avoid touching any contacts on the
accessory connector. Before touching any components inside your
storage system, touch a metal part of the chassis. The use of a
grounding strap is recommended.
How you configure the storage system depends on your system’s requirements
and the type of SCSI channel available from the host system. For example, the
HP NetServer LH array model has two embedded Fast SCSI-2 channels and
includes a PCI DAC card, which provides two Fast-Wide SCSI-2 channels.
Each channel supports a range of SCSI addresses. The addresses in each Fast
SCSI-2 channel range from 0-7. The addresses in each Fast-Wide SCSI-2
channel range from 0-15. In both Fast SCSI-2 and Fast-Wide SCSI-2
configurations, address 7 is used by the controller. Therefore, each Fast SCSI-2
channel supports up to seven SCSI devices on addresses 0-6. Each Fast-Wide
SCSI-2 channel supports up to 15 SCSI devices on addresses 0-6 and 8-15.
Each SCSI device on the same channel must have a unique address.
An address of 1 on Channel 0 is different from an address of 1 on
Channel 1.
The SCSI device shelves support only Fast SCSI-2 devices (addresses 0-6).
For devices installed in the SCSI device shelves, the address is set on the
device per the manufacturer’s instructions. SCSI addresses for the hot-swap
subsystem are set using the switches in the storage system.

Cabling Configurations
The storage system can be reconfigured by changing the internal cabling
configuration or changing the switch settings on the cages. This section
describes the external, the internal default, and some (but not all possible)
internal cabling configurations and switch settings for both the hot-swap cages
and the SCSI device shelves.
External Cabling
The storage system uses external, SCSI cables (not included) to communicate
with the host system. Cables used with this product must be properly shielded to
comply with regulatory requirements. The connection(s) at the back of the
storage system are 68-pin, high-density connectors. Using the appropriate
external SCSI cable, the storage system can be connected to the host system by
using a variety of connectors (see Table 2-3 for the appropriate cable). The

2 Cabling Storage Devices and Setting SCSI Addresses
external cables connect from the host system to the rear panel of the storage
system cabinet.
For instructions on connecting the external cables to the storage system, consult
the host system user’s guide or in the case of a DAC card, the user’s guide for the
DAC card.
At least one external SCSI cable is required to attach each storage system to the
host system. All connections from the storage system to the host must be direct.
Do not connect storage systems in series, or connect to other external SCSI
devices.
Many of the cabling configurations need more than one external SCSI cable. If
you need additional cables, they can be ordered from HP. The storage system is
not shipped with external SCSI cables. Table 2-3 lists some of the external SCSI
cables available from HP.

3 Installing Hardware Accessories
This section describes how to physically install the SCSI mass storage devices in
the storage system. There are two categories of mass storage devices—the
hot-swap modules and the SCSI devices that can be installed in the SCSI device
shelves.
Installing Hot-Swap Storage Devices
Only SCA-2 compliant, single-ended, Fast SCSI-2, hot-swap disk modules can be
installed in the hot-swap subsystem.
CAUTION Mass storage devices are susceptible to mechanical shock and can
be damaged by a drop as small as a quarter of an inch.
Unpacking a Hot-Swap Disk Module
The drives have shipping plugs to ensure the hot-swap disk modules are not
damaged while the drives are transported. Remove and save this plug before
using the device. If you plan to reship your system, reinstall the shipping plug as
shown in Figure 3-1.

Installing a New Hot-Swap Disk Module
This section describes the installation of a new hot-swap disk module.
CAUTION Use one of the six (6) vertical shelves in the system. Do not
attempt to install the hot-swap disk module in the SCSI device
shelves.
Complete the following procedure to install a new disk module:
1. Unlock the hot-swap disk module keylock and remove the filler panel in
the disk shelf by pulling the filler panel straight out.
NOTE
Do not dispose of the filler panel. If you decide to operate the
storage system with the empty bay, it must be covered with a filler
panel to ensure proper cooling and RFI compliance.
2. Press the locking tab on the hot-swap disk module down and lift the lever
up. Lifting the lever retracts the locking pin at the top of the disk drive.
3. Holding the hot-swap disk module as shown in Figure 3-2, slide the hot-
swap disk module slowly into the shelf until it stops.
CAUTION When the module stops, it is not flush with the bezel; the module
extends about one-quarter inch from the bezel. When you lock
the module in place, the module moves to the final position, flush
with the bezel. Forcing the module past the first stop may damage
the module.
4. Press the lever down until it latches.

3 Installing Hardware Accessories
Installing a SCSI Device in a SCSI Device Shelf
Almost any Fast SCSI-2 single-ended 3.5-inch or 5.25-inch device, such as a
digital audio tape (DAT), CD-ROM or SCSI hard disk drive, can be installed in a
SCSI device shelf. The details for configuring the device, such as jumper
settings, are supplied by the manufacturer of the device. Internal cabling
configurations are described in the “Cabling Configurations” section of this
manual. This section describes the basic process of installing a SCSI device in a
SCSI device shelf. A SCSI hard disk drive is used as an example.
Use only the cables supplied by HP. The storage system includes an actively
terminated SCSI cable for your SCSI tray devices. Fast SCSI-2 (up to 10
MB/second synchronous transfer) devices require an actively terminated SCSI
cable.
NOTE
To use SCSI mass storage devices, you need to obtain trays to
install them in the storage system. Contact your HP dealer for
obtaining these trays: 5.25-inch tray (HP D2199A), 3.5-inch tray
(D2198A).
For installation of a third-party, non-HP device in a SCSI device shelf, consult
the HP BBS (408-553-3500) for recommended supplies and instructions.
The following example demonstrates the procedure for installing a SCSI hard
disk drive:
1. Verify that the device is not terminated because the internal SCSI cable
includes a built-in terminator. If you are installing a SCSI device that
uses a built-in terminator, remove the terminator from the device before
proceeding with the installation. The HP accessory devices available for
your storage system are shipped with the terminators disabled.
2. Power down the unit. (Since all the data stored on all the drives in the
storage system is inaccessible while the system is powered down, consider
informing all users before powering down the storage system.)
3. Open the door of the storage system as described in the section “Opening
the Door.”
4. Position the first device closest to the SCSI cable terminator located at the
end of the SCSI cable.
5. Remove the screws that secure the filler panel to the disk shelf. (Do not
attempt to pry the plastic cover off the storage system.)

3 Installing Hardware Accessories
NOTE Do not dispose of the blank filler panel. If you decide to operate
the storage system with an empty bay, it must be covered with a
blank filler panel to ensure proper cooling, and compliance with
RFI and safety standards.
6. Mount the device in an HP tray if necessary.
7. Configure the device per manufacturer’s instructions.
8. Secure the drive and tray in the SCSI device shelf using the same screws
used to attach the filler panel.
9. Attach the SCSI cable for the appropriate configuration. Refer to the
“Cabling Configuration” section of this manual for additional
information.
10. Attach the power connector to the device.
11. Replace the door and the bezel of the storage system.
12. Reconnect the power cords and cables.
13. Power up the storage system, allowing the drives to spin up to speed.
14. Configure the drive as described in your host system’s user guide.

4 Troubleshooting
If you are having problems installing or configuring the storage system, there are
a number of tools and procedures available to help you resolve the problem. If
you need assistance from HP, the “Service and Support” chapter of this manual
contains information on service and support.
WARNING Whenever opening the door, disconnect the power cords to avoid
exposure to high energy levels, which may cause burns when
parts are short-circuited by metal objects such as tools or jewelry.
Troubleshooting Procedures
The following are recommended troubleshooting procedures to help you find the
problem when your storage system does not work properly. If you need
assistance, contact your reseller first.
When the host system starts, the SCSI BIOS displays a banner and copyright
notice. The BIOS checks for valid devices on the SCSI bus and reports which
devices are found. If you have installed and configured the SCSI devices
correctly, a list displays confirming all the SCSI devices installed in the system.
Begin troubleshooting by isolating the problem. Simplify the configuration to the
minimum required to function and reinstall the items (drives, modules, etc.) one
at a time, each time checking the system for errors. The suggestions in this
section will assist you in diagnosing the problem.

4 Troubleshooting
If The System Will Not Power On
If, after pressing the power switch, you see: the power indicator LED fails to
light, the LED readout fails to light, the chassis fan is not working, and the
power supply fan is not working, the storage system has not powered up. Check
the items listed below:
•
•
Verify the voltage switch on the power supply is in the correct position.
Ensure all cables and power cords are firmly plugged into the proper
receptacles.
•
•
•
•
Verify the power source is switched on. Plug a different electrical device
(such as a printer) into the power outlet, and turn it on.
Press and release the reset button in case the power supply shut down.
(The reset process takes about 15 seconds.)
If the storage system is plugged into a switched, multiple-outlet box, make
sure the switch on the outlet box is turned on.
If the storage system appears to power up, but the LED readout shows
“PF” (power fault), immediately power down the storage system. Verify
the voltage select switch is set to the proper voltage for the area.
•
•
Verify the cable coming out of the power supply is plugged into connector
PS1 on the management board. (Refer to the cable management label on
the inside of the door of the storage system.)
Verify the control panel cable is inserted properly in connector CP1 on the
management board.

4 Troubleshooting
If the LED Readout Shows a Fan Fault (FF)
If the system powers on, but the main chassis fan is not operating and/or “FF” is
displayed, open the door and verify the fan cable is connected to the fan
connector on the management board. (Refer to the cable management label on
the inside of the door.)
CAUTION Do not operate the storage system when the fan is not operating.
If the LED Readout Shows a Line Fault (LF)
If the line power is not connected properly to one of the power supplies and “LF”
blinks alternately with HP, verify the line power is connected properly to each
power supply device and to a power source. If the error message persists, power
down the storage supply and replace the line power.
If the LED Readout Shows a Power Supply Fault (PF)
If the voltage switch is not set properly or power supply is not working properly
and “PF” blinks alternately with HP, power down the storage supply and verify
the line power voltage matches the voltage switch setting (for example, 115 volts
in the U.S. and 230 volts in Europe). If the error message persists, power down
the storage supply and replace the power supply.
If the SCSI Devices Fail to Spin Up
If the storage system powers up, but the SCSI devices fail to spin up (usually
indicated by the failure of the LEDs on the devices to light), do the following:
•
•
Remove and reinstall all hot-swap drive modules.
Verify the power distribution cable is plugged into:
◊ Connector PD1 on the management board.
◊ Any devices in the SCSI device shelves.
◊ The upper and lower hot-swap cages.
•
Verify the switches on the back of the hot-swap cages are set correctly.
(Refer to manufactured configuration label to see default settings.)

4 Troubleshooting
If the Host Cannot Communicate With the Storage System
If the SCSI devices spin up, but the host cannot access the SCSI devices, do the
following on the storage system:
•
•
Verify all of the drive modules are inserted correctly and latched. (It may
be necessary to remove and reinstall all hot-swap disk modules.)
Make sure the system is configured properly, including the devices
installed in the SCSI device shelves. (Refer to the cable management
label in the storage system and this manual.)
•
Verify the switches on the back of the hot-swap cages are set correctly.
(Refer to Table 2-2 or the manufactured configuration label to see default
settings.)
•
•
Verify the switches and jumpers on the SCSI device trays are properly set.
(Refer to the manuals that came with the devices.)
Make sure that the active terminator is attached to the end of the SCSI
device cable C1, and that terminators are not installed on any other
devices. (The hot-swap cages are self-terminating.)
•
•
Verify the SCSI device address for each device is unique.
Make sure the SCSI devices are single-ended devices and that a
differential SCSI device has not been added to the bus. (If a differential
drive is used, the power indicator will not light.)
•
Make sure that no SCSI device is set to SCSI address 7; address 7 is the
SCSI ID used by the SCSI controller.
If the SCSI devices spin up, but the host cannot access the SCSI devices, do the
following on the host system:
•
•
•
•
Verify the host system operates correctly without the storage system
attached.
Verify the external SCSI cables are firmly connected to the storage
system.
Verify the external SCSI cable(s) used are those recommended by HP for
the storage system.
Make sure all SCSI adapter cards are properly installed.
34

4 Troubleshooting
Verify the network operating system supports the configuration.
•
•
Verify the same SCSI channel is not used for both internal and external
SCSI devices.
•
•
Verify with the ECU utility that your SCSI controllers are properly
configured.
Make sure the NOS and the appropriate drivers are properly installed for
your SCSI and DAC controllers. (Refer to the related NOS, NetServer,
HBA or DAC documentation for additional information.)
•
Verify the server recognizes the SCSI devices. When the server is started,
the SCSI BIOS displays a banner and copyright notice. The BIOS then
checks for valid devices on the SCSI bus and reports which devices are
found. If the SCSI devices are installed and configured correctly, the
SCSI devices installed in the system are shown in the list.
If the Hot-Swap Disk Power LEDs are Flashing
If one hot-swap drive is flashing yellow, it is likely that the power to the drive is
faulty. Verify the drive was inserted properly. Also verify the power distribution
cable is correctly installed for that drive.
If all hot-swap drives in a cage are flashing a red light, turn off the storage
system immediately! The drives have exceeded the operational temperature
range and, if allowed to continue, can cause permanent damage. If all hot swap
drives in a cage have yellow flashing lights, it is a warning that the temperature
is approaching the maximum temperature allowed.
If all the disk modules in a hot-swap cage are flashing red or yellow, check the
following items:
•
•
•
Verify the chassis fan and power supply fan are operating.
Verify all of the blank filler panels cover any empty shelves.
Make sure the chassis door is closed. (The door must be closed for the
cooling system to function properly.)
•
•
Verify the air vents are not blocked. (The storage system cooling outlets
should be at least six inches from any obstructions.)
Verify the ambient temperature does not exceed the levels noted in the
“Specifications” appendix.
35
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
4 Troubleshooting
Run the hot-swap temperature self test by powering up the storage system.
•
The hot-swap assembly should briefly flash red. If it fails to flash, the
storage system may require service.
Error Messages
The front panel of the storage system includes two-digit, seven-segment LEDs.
When operations are normal, the display will show “HP” or the unit
identification number. The LEDs are powered by the internal power supply, and
when the power supply is not working there will be no display.
If the chassis fan in the unit becomes stalled, the display will show “FF” (fan
fault). (Do not continue to operate the storage system without the fan operating.)
If the storage system appears to power up, but the LED readout shows a “PF”
(power fault), the voltage select switch may be in the wrong position.
Immediately power down the storage system. Verify the voltage select switch is
set to the proper voltage for the area (for example, 115 volts in the U.S. and 230
volts in Europe).

HP NetServer Support News
HP NetServer Support News is an electronic newsletter dedicated to bringing you
late-breaking product and support information on HP NetServer products.
This newsletter is published once a month and it contains the latest news since
the last edition of the HP Support Assistant CD-ROM (described earlier in this
chapter). The information in the newsletters is added to the next edition of the
HP Support Assistant CD-ROM.
HP NetServer Support News can be obtained in several ways:
•
•
•
•
From the library of the HPSYS forum on CompuServe
Via HP’s World Wide Web home pages
Via Internet FTP
From HP’s Bulletin Board System
Each of these electronic sources is described in this chapter.
The most convenient way to keep up to date is to visit the HPSYS forum on
CompuServe regularly. Issues of HP NetServer Support News are posted in the
forum as they come out—part of the ongoing seminar on HP NetServer systems.
Telephone Support
The HP-supplied hardware and software in HP servers are covered by no-charge
telephone assistance during the warranty period. As described below, in some
geographic areas this telephone support is provided by Hewlett-Packard; in other
areas telephone support is provided by your reseller.

environments—is available from Hewlett-Packard, resellers, or consultants at
additional charge.
For example, HP offers Network Phone-In Support Service, with a 7-day/24-hour
option for network operating systems and multi-vendor hardware. Contact your
local HP office for details.
For non-HP products, support numbers are included in the product
documentation or are available from your reseller.

This chapter contains the following warranties:
•
•
NetServer Storage System/6 On-Site Limited Warranty
HP Software Product License Agreement and Limited Warranty
NetServer Storage System/6 On-Site Limited
Warranty
Three Year On-Site Limited Hardware Warranty
Hewlett-Packard (HP) warrants this hardware product against defects in
materials and workmanship for a period of three years from receipt by the
original end-user purchaser.
If HP receives notice of such defects during the warranty period, HP will either,
at its option, repair or replace products that prove to be defective. Some newly
manufactured products may contain remanufactured parts equivalent to new in
performance. Service parts are new or equivalent to new.
Should HP be unable to repair or replace the product within a reasonable amount
of time, the customer’s alternate exclusive remedy shall be a refund of the
purchase price upon return of the product.
Limitation of Warranty
The above warranty shall not apply to defects resulting from misuse (including
incorrect input voltage); unauthorized modification; operation or storage outside
the environmental specifications for the product; in-transit damage; improper
maintenance; or defects resulting from use of non-HP software, accessories,
media, supplies, consumables or such items not designed for use with the
product.

6 Warranty and Software License
HP makes no other express warranty, whether written or oral, with respect
to this product. Any implied warranty of merchantability or fitness is
limited to the one year duration of this written warranty. Some states or
provinces do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so
the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.
This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other
rights that vary from state to state, or province to province.
Limitation of Liability and Remedies
The remedies provided above are the customer’s sole and exclusive remedies.
In no event shall HP be liable for any direct, indirect, special, incidental, or
consequential damages, whether based on warranty, contract, tort, or any
other legal theory.
The foregoing limitation of liability shall not apply in the event that any HP
product sold hereunder is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to
be defective and to have directly caused bodily injury, death, or property
damage; provided, that in no event shall HP’s liability for property damage
exceed the greater of $50,000 or the purchase price of the specific product
that caused such damage.
Some states or provinces do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental
or consequential damages—including lost profit—so the above limitation or
exclusion may not apply to you.

Warranty start date. The customer must be prepared to supply proof of the
purchase date.
Equipment location. The on-site warranty is limited to products that remain in
the country of original end-user purchase from HP or an Authorized HP Personal
Computer Reseller.
Outside the country of original purchase, on-site warranty service is available
only by prior arrangement—either through purchase of the product at HP's
International Price, with the destination specified at time of order, or through
purchase of a service contract from the HP Subsidiary or Distributor in the
destination country. Otherwise, the product must be returned by the customer to
the country of original purchase for service.
Parts covered. The system processor unit and Hewlett-Packard accessories
inside the system—such as mass storage devices sold as complete HP system
accessory kits—are covered by this warranty.
Customer-replaceable parts—such as HP SCSI disk drives— may be serviced
through expedited part shipment. In this event, HP will prepay shipping charges,
duty, and taxes; provide telephone assistance on replacement of the component;
and pay shipping charges, duty, and taxes for any part that HP asks to be
returned.
HP mass storage devices—such as hard drives and DAT drives—sold as
component mechanisms are not covered by this on-site warranty. They are
covered under a component replacement warranty provided by the distributor.
HP/Colorado Memory Systems internal tape drives are not covered by this on-site
warranty—they are covered under a replacement warranty included with the
product.
HP products external to the system processor unit—such as external storage
subsystems, printers, and other peripherals—are covered by the applicable
53

6 Warranty and Software License
warranties for those products; HP software is covered by the HP Software Product
Limited Warranty.
Non-HP products. On-site visits caused by non-Hewlett-Packard products—
whether internal to the system processor unit (such as non-HP SIMMs) or
external to the system processor unit (such as LAN cabling)—are subject to
standard per-incident travel and labor charges.
Travel restrictions and response time. On-site service for this product is
restricted or unavailable in certain locations. In HP Excluded Travel Areas—
areas where geographical obstacles, undeveloped roads, or unsuitable public
transportation prohibit routine travel—service is provided on a negotiated basis
at extra charge.
Response time for HP on-site service in an HP Service Travel Area is normally
next business day (excluding HP holidays) for HP Travel Zones 1, 2, and 3
(generally 100 miles or 160 km from the HP office). Response time is second
business day for Zones 4 and 5 (200 miles, 320 km); third business day for Zone
6 (300 miles, 480 km); and negotiated beyond Zone 6. The HP Worldwide
Customer Support Travel Guide is available from any HP Sales Office.
Travel restrictions and response time for reseller service are defined by the
participating reseller.
Service contracts that provide after-hours or weekend coverage, faster response
time, or service in an HP Excluded Travel Area are generally available from HP
or an authorized reseller at additional charge.
Customer Responsibilities
The customer may be required to run HP-supplied configuration and diagnostic
programs before an on-site visit is made or a replacement part will be sent.
The customer is responsible for the security of its proprietary and confidential
information and for maintaining a procedure external to the products for
reconstruction of lost or altered files, data, or programs.
For on-site service, the customer must provide the following: access to the
product; adequate working space and facilities within a reasonable distance of the
product; access to and use of all information and facilities determined necessary
by HP to service the product; and operating supplies and consumables such as the
customer would use during normal operation.

6 Warranty and Software License
When service is being performed on-site, an adult representative of the customer
must be present at all times. The customer must state if the product is being used
in an environment that poses a potential health hazard to repair personnel. HP or
the servicing reseller may require that the product be maintained by customer
personnel under direct HP or reseller supervision.
Obtaining Return Warranty Service
If on-site warranty service is not applicable, the product must be returned to a
service facility designated by HP. The customer must enclose a copy of a
document proving date of purchase.
The customer shall prepay shipping charges (and shall pay all duty and taxes) for
products returned to HP for warranty service. HP shall pay for return of products
to the customer except for products returned to the customer from another
country.
Software Product Limited Warranty
Ninety-Day Limited Software Warranty
HP warrants for a period of ninety (90) days from the date of the purchase that
the software product will execute its programming instructions when all files are
properly installed. HP does not warrant that the operation of the software will be
uninterrupted or error free. In the event that this software product fails to
execute its programming instructions during the warranty period, Customer’s
remedy shall be a refund or repair. Should HP be unable to replace the media
within a reasonable amount of time, Customer’s alternate remedy shall be a
refund of the purchase price upon return of the product and all copies.
Removable Media (if supplied)
HP warrants the removable media, if supplied, upon which this product is
recorded to be free from defects in materials and workmanship under normal use
for a period of ninety (90) days from the date of purchase. In the event the media
prove to be defective during the warranty period, Customer’s remedy shall be to
return the media to HP for replacement. Should HP be unable to replace the
media within a reasonable amount of time, Customer’s alternate remedy shall be
a refund of the purchase price upon return of the product and destruction of all
other non-removable media copies of the software product.

purpose is limited to the 90-day duration of this written warranty. Some states or
