Limited One-Year Warranty
(U.S. and Canada Oniy)
Dell Computer Corporation (“Dell”) manufactures its

new or equivalent to new in accordance with industry-
standard practices. Dell warrants that the hardware
products it manufactures will be free from defects in
materials and workmanship. The warranty term is one
year beginning on the date of invoice, as further
described in the following text.
Damage due to shipping the products to you is covered
under this warranty. Otherwise, this warranty does not
cover damage due to external causes, including accident,
abuse, misuse, problems with electrical power, servicing
not authorized by Dell, usage not in accordance with
product instructions, failure to perform required preven­
tive maintenance, and problems caused by use of parts
and components not supplied by Dell.
This warranty does not cover any items that are in one or
more of the following categories: software; external
devices (except as specifically noted); accessories or
parts added to a Dell system after the system is shipped
from Dell; accessories or parts added to a Dell system
through Dell’s system integration department; accesso­
ries or parts that are not installed in the Dell factory; or
DellWare SM products. Monitors, keyboards, and mice that
are Dell-branded or that are included on Dell’s standard
price list are covered under this warranty; all other moni­
tors, keyboards, and mice (including those sold through
