Warranty & RMA Process
1. Introduction
The following details the Limited Hardware Warranty and Return Materials Authorization (RMA) process offered by
Radisys for its Continuous Computing (CCPU) ATCA hardware products. The information will help customers
determine the level of service they will receive from Radisys.
2. Warranty
2.1 GENERAL WARRANTY
Radisys offers a limited Hardware warranty to the original purchaser of any products, that it is free from defects in
workmanship and materials, while it remains under normal use and service, for a period of one year from the date
of purchase from Radisys. During the warranty period, Radisys repair or replacement of any part which is in nonconformance to its specifications. The details of this process are described in the Returned Material Authorization
(RMA) Process in a later section of this policy.
Customers may buy an extended warranty at any time prior to the expiration of the original warranty or after its
expiration (it is required to purchase gap coverage in that case). Radisys may repair products which are not under
warranty on a time and material basis at the then prevailing market rate for such services as determined by
Radisys.
Technical Support is excluded from any warranty coverage and may be purchased on an annual basis for an
additional fee, subject to the terms set forth inRadisys Customer Support Policy.
To prevent damage in transport, the customer is suggested to return the product in its original protective
packaging. Radisys is not responsible for any damage to the product during transportation to Radisys.
2.2 IN-WARRANTY REPAIRS
Radisys rigorously tests all its products to ensure optimum quality and reliability. If the failure symptoms described
by the customer cannot be duplicated and the unit passes pertinent product testing, it will be reported as No
Trouble Found (NTF) and returned to the customer.
At Radisys discretion, in the case of excessive NTFs, the customer will be responsible for service fees and
shipping costs.
If a returned unit fails pertinent product testing, Radisys will repair the unit and retest to confirm that it has been
restored to a functional state. Radisys, at its option, may deliver to the customer an equivalent product or part to
replace the defective unit; the replacement product or parts may be new or reconditioned. Any replaced or
repaired part has a ninety (90) day warranty or the remainder of the initial warranty period, whichever is longer.
2.3 NON-WARRANTY REPAIRS
Any service and/or repair requested for a product for which the factory warranty period has expired or has been
invalidated because of customer-induced damage (resulting from misuse, abuse, missing components, or
modification) is considered a non-warranty service. Refurbishment or upgrading of product to the latest
specification is considered a non-warranty repair or service.
For non-warranty repairs or services, there is a minimum of $250 charge. Customer must agree to pay this
amount before shipping the defective product to Radisys. Radisys will examine the returned hardware and send
the customer a quote for the repairs, the amount of which will be based off the then-prevailing time and material
rates as determined by Radisys. Radisys will not work on the repairs until it receives a purchase order for the
repairs. If the customer chooses not to repair the hardware, the customer will be responsible for the cost of the
repair estimation and for shipping the product back to the customer. Radisys, at its discretion, may decide not to
repair a non-warranty part.
3. Return Materials Authorization (RMA)
A Return Materials Authorization (RMA) number is required prior to returning any product for any repairs, upgrade
or advance replacements. Follow the Product Return Procedure instructions below to return your product to
