Warranty options
The IBM System x3500 M4 has a 3-year onsite warranty with 9x5/next business day terms. IBM offers the
warranty service upgrades through IBM ServicePacs, discussed in this section. The IBM ServicePac is a

IBM ServicePac offerings are country-specific. That is, each country might have its own service types,
