Warranty

Warranty is 3 year/CRU but when installed in a IBM NetBAY rack, the PDU picks up the labor aspect of the rack along with any service or warranty uplifts. So if customer purchases these and places them in an IBM rack, then they get 3 years parts and 3 years on site labor(same as the rack). If they are placed in a competitive rack then the customer only gets 3 years on parts.
