assistance with "how-to" questions and those regarding Machine set-up and installation, is provided WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND. How to Obtain Warranty Service If the Machine does not function as warranted during the warranty period, contact IBM or your reseller to obtain warranty service. If you do not register the Machine with IBM, you may be required to present proof of purchase as evidence of your entitlement to warranty service. What IBM Will Do to Correct Problems When you contact IBM for service, you must follow the problem determination and resolution procedures that IBM specifies. An initial diagnosis of your problem can be made either by a technician over the telephone or electronically by access to an IBM website. The type of warranty service applicable to your Machine is specified in Part 3 - Warranty Information. You are responsible for downloading and installing designated Machine Code (microcode, basic input/output system code (called ″BIOS″), utility programs, device drivers, and diagnostics delivered with an IBM Machine) and other software updates from an IBM Internet Web site or from other electronic media, and following the instructions that IBM provides. If your problem can be resolved with a Customer Replaceable Unit (″CRU″) (e.g., keyboard, mouse, speaker, memory, hard disk drive), IBM will ship the CRU to you for you to install. If the Machine does not function as warranted during the warranty period and your problem cannot be resolved over the telephone or electronically, through your application of Machine Code or software updates, or with a CRU, IBM or your reseller, if approved by IBM to provide warranty service, will either, at its discretion, 1) repair it to make it function as warranted, or 2) replace it with one that is at least functionally equivalent. If IBM is unable to do either, you may return the Machine to your place of purchase and your money will be refunded. IBM or your reseller will also manage and install selected engineering changes that apply to the Machine. Exchange of a Machine or Part When the 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 functionally equivalent to the item replaced. The replacement assumes the warranty service status of the replaced item. Your Additional Responsibilities 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 prevent 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 service request procedures that IBM or your reseller provides; b. backup or secure all programs, data, and funds contained in the Machine; c. provide IBM or your reseller with sufficient, free, and safe access to your facilities to permit IBM to fulfill its obligations; and d. inform IBM or your reseller of changes in the Machine's location. 4. (a) ensure all information about identified or identifiable individuals (Personal Data) is deleted from the Machine (to the extent technically possible), (b) allow 24 Portable 40 GB USB 2.0 Hard Drive with Rescue and Recovery
