Frequently asked questions

• What is “Defective Media Retention”? Defective Media Retention means that, in the event of a drive or other media failure, the failed media can be retained by the customer while the service provider completes the repair or replacement of the equipment. This feature supports data audits, recovery planning, and secure handling of failed media, giving you control over data and compliance while repairs proceed.
• What does the 9x5 Next Business Day coverage mean? 9x5 indicates service availability during standard business hours on weekdays, excluding weekends and holidays. Next Business Day refers to the provider’s commitment to respond and begin service the next business day after a service request is opened, helping minimize downtime for critical systems.
• Does this cover software or firmware issues? This Care Pack focuses on hardware support, including parts and labor for hardware repairs. Software or firmware updates and troubleshooting are typically handled under separate software support agreements or HP software maintenance plans, as applicable.
• How do I file a service request? Service requests are typically submitted through the HP Support portal or your authorized HP reseller, using the Care Pack SKU (75245 Mngd Svc) and the device’s serial number or service tag. You can also contact HP technical support or your account team to initiate a ticket.
• Is my data safe if defective media is retained? The Defective Media Retention policy refers to retaining the failed media for your records while repair work proceeds on the equipment. Data on other media remains under your organization’s control. HP technicians handle repairs with standard data-safety practices, but always ensure you have current backups and follow your data protection policies before any service intervention.
• Can I upgrade or modify this Care Pack? Depending on the vendor, you may be able to upgrade coverage levels or adjust service windows. Talk to your HP account manager or reseller about alternatives, pricing, and availability to tailor the Care Pack to your evolving needs.
• When does coverage begin? Coverage typically begins on the activation date shown in your contract or portal registration. Ensure all required information is accurately entered during activation to avoid coverage gaps and to enable Next Business Day responses when you need them most.
