Notes :
1. Contact your place of purchase for warranty service information. Some IBM
Machines are eligible for on-site warranty service depending on the country
or region where service is performed.
Prior to on-site warranty service, customers are required to go through
problem determination with an IBM service specialist call center
technician.

will provide warranty service without charge for:

period.
IBM will charge you for any labor provided in performance of the
