Знаете ли Вы?

The System x3250 M4 server is a compact, cost-effective, single-processor 1U rack server that has been optimized to provide outstanding availability, manageability, and performance features to small-to-medium-sized businesses, retail stores, or distributed enterprises. It supports the latest Xeon processors for applications that require performance and stability, and Core i3 processors for applications that require lower cost.

The system includes features not typically seen in this class of system, such as standard, embedded RAID-0/1 for simple-swap models, remote control capabilities even when the machine is powered off, and Predictive Failure Analysis (PFA) on processor and memory. This flexible 1U rack-mountable server is also highly upgradable and expandable, scaling from low-cost, fixed-function models to feature-rich, highly available models.

Warranty options

The IBM System x3250 M4 has a 3-year onsite warranty with 9x5/next-business-day terms. IBM offers warranty service upgrades through IBM ServicePacs. The IBM ServicePac is a series of prepackaged warranty maintenance upgrades and post-warranty maintenance agreements with a well-defined scope of services, including service hours, response time, term of service, and service agreement terms and conditions.

IBM ServicePac offerings are country-specific. That is, each country might have its own service types, service levels, response times, and terms and conditions. Not all covered types of ServicePacs might be available in a particular country. For more information about IBM ServicePac offerings available in your country, see the IBM ServicePac Product Selector at the following web page:

https://www-304.ibm.com/sales/gss/download/spst/servicepac

Warranty service definitions are explained in more detail in Table 16.
