What exactly is included in HPE Proactive Care with Comprehensive Defective Material Retention?

This extended warranty plan provides 1 year of on-site support with 24x7 availability, a guaranteed 4-hour response window for parts and labor, and coverage for defective materials beyond the standard manufacturer warranty. It includes on-site maintenance, and protection for both physical and electronic components to help maintain uptime and productivity.

How does the 4-hour on-site response work?

When a problem is reported, HPE coordinates dispatch to your location. If parts are required, they are delivered and installed within a 4-hour window from the time the issue is logged, provided the service location is within the coverage area. This rapid response is designed to minimize downtime and keep critical systems operational.

What systems and components are covered by this plan?

The plan covers eligible hardware components and related electronic systems that fail due to material defects beyond the manufacturer’s standard warranty. Coverage specifics, including eligible models and components, are defined in your service contract and enrollment documentation.

Is maintenance included, and are there any labor costs I should expect?

Yes. The plan includes on-site maintenance and all required labor as part of the service. There are no hidden labor charges for covered incidents during the term of the agreement, which helps you predict maintenance costs and budgeting more accurately.

How do I enroll and activate this warranty?

This reduces unexpected replacement costs and helps ensure effective continuity of operations after the manufacturer’s warranty expires.
